Grading terms explained

CPO, ASIS, A/B/C grades — what do these grades mean?

Wholesale buyers of used iPhones face significant challenges due to the lack of standardized grading terms, with terms like CPO, 14-day stock, ASIS, and grades A, B, and C used inconsistently across the industry, often allowing wholesalers to misrepresent device quality and inflate prices. Grading systems play a vital role in categorizing devices based on cosmetic condition and functionality, assisting with pricing and inventory management, yet their unregulated nature leads to confusion, requiring buyers to verify quality to avoid overpaying for subpar products.

The grade we offer

“NEW A+++” grade

Among the various grades, our “NEW A+++” grade stock stands out as the only reliable, like-new option with excellent WARRANTY to back it up, while most other grades used in the industry are generally interchangeable and of lower quality. Clear understanding of these terms and grades is essential for informed purchasing decisions.

The grades we don’t offer

We don’t offer these grades

ASIS, CPO, 14 day stock

CPO, or Certified Pre-Owned, refers to devices that have been refurbished and certified by the manufacturer or an authorized partner, typically in excellent condition BUT with minimal wear and often accompanied by a warranty. In contrast, AS, or “As Is” stock, denotes devices sold without any warranty or guarantee, potentially with significant cosmetic or functional issues, placing all risk on the buyer. Meanwhile, 14 Day return stock consists of devices returned within 14 days of purchase, usually due to buyer’s remorse or minor issues, and are generally in near-new condition but may lack the original warranty. In reality of course, “14 day” period can extend itself to months and years in some instances.

We don’t offer these grades

Grade A or Grade A+

Grades A and A+ are commonly used by wholesalers to describe used iPhones in excellent or near-new condition, but the absence of industry-wide standardization creates opportunities for sellers to exploit buyers. Many wholesalers take advantage of this ambiguity by mixing lower-quality Grade B devices—often with noticeable cosmetic or functional flaws—into batches labeled as A or A+. By marketing these as premium grades, they can charge higher prices and boost their profit margins. Without clear, consistent definitions, buyers risk overpaying for devices that fail to meet the expected standards, making it critical to verify quality and demand transparency from sellers to avoid being misled.

We don’t offer these grades

Grades B and C — “Good” and “Functional”

In the competitive market of iPhones and Samsung wholesale, Grade B and Grade C used devices represent mid-to-lower tiers for wholesalers. Grade B iPhones and Samsung devices typically exhibit light scratches or scuffs but remain fully functional, often with replaced screens to ensure operability. Grade C iPhones and Samsung devices, meanwhile, show heavier wear—like noticeable scratches or dings—yet still function adequately for basic use in the iPhones and Samsung wholesale market. The line between these grades is blurry at best; if a device is functional and its screen isn’t cracked, it can often be slipped into a Grade B batch, even if its cosmetic condition leans toward Grade C. Unethical wholesalers exploit this ambiguity, mixing lower-quality Grade C iPhones and Samsung devices into Grade B batches to mislead buyers, inflate perceived value, and maximize profits at the expense of unsuspecting purchasers in the iPhones and Samsung wholesale market.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What does A+++ grade mean?

A+++ is HK Refurbished Stock’s single grade: a renewed device indistinguishable from new, with no scratches, dents or scuffing, renewed customer-facing parts, display glass restored on the original factory panel, 100% original components, and full functionality verified by a 17-point inspection. We don’t sell Grade B, Grade C or mixed lots.

What is the 17-point inspection?

A 17-check process every device passes before dispatch, covering IMEI and component authenticity, activation-lock removal, housing and glass condition, display and touch, battery health diagnostics and charging, cameras and audio, cellular/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/GPS, biometrics, sensors and buttons, and a final factory reset with verified data erasure.

How is A+++ different from Grade A?

“Grade A” has no industry-wide definition, so it varies by supplier and often includes units with light cosmetic marks — and sometimes blended Grade B stock. A+++ is a single published standard with no visible marks, original panels, renewed customer-facing parts, and no grade blending.

Do you sell mixed-grade lots?

No. A+++ is our only grade, and every unit in an order meets it. We don’t sell Grade B, Grade C, ASIS or mixed lots.

Are the parts original?

Yes. All devices use 100% original Apple or Samsung components. Display glass is restored on the original factory LCD/OLED panel rather than replaced with aftermarket assemblies.

What warranty covers graded devices?

A 90-day warranty as standard, extendable to 180 days for wholesale and repeat buyers, with a 21-day return window.
