Buying Wholesale Phones in Merkato: A Guide for Phone Shops
A wholesale phone order should describe exactly what your shop expects to receive. Before comparing prices in Merkato, write down the model, memory, condition and quantity you need. This guide helps you check those details when buying through Merkato Pro.
Start with the exact model and variant
A model name can cover several versions. Specify RAM and storage separately, such as 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Ask about the network version, SIM arrangement, colour and included accessories if these matter to your customers.
For Samsung Galaxy A or M, Tecno Spark, Camon or Pova, or Honor models, check the individual listing rather than assuming a whole series has the same features or stock status.
A checklist before accepting phones
- Match the device model and memory to the order and packaging.
- Where the phone supports it, use *#06# to view the IMEI and compare it with the box and purchase record. An IMEI match alone does not prove authenticity or warranty coverage.
- Confirm whether the phone is new, used or refurbished, and agree how seals and testing will be handled.
- When testing is permitted, check the screen, charging, cameras, SIM function and included accessories.
- Keep the order record and ask for the return process, reporting deadline and any warranty conditions before paying.
Compare the full order cost
Compare like-for-like variants and quantities. Merkato Pro shows the supplier price and a separate delivery fee for each good. Review both, any quantity conditions and the total before confirming. A cheaper model with less storage is not the same offer.
Do not assume an old screenshot is today's quote. Recheck current availability and the payment terms on your retailer account.
Arrange delivery without leaving your shop
Merkato Pro delivers across Addis Ababa. Free pickup is available for Addis Ababa retailers, with collection details confirmed before visiting Dire Building in Merkato. For locations outside Addis Ababa, ask about the additional collection and shipping fee and available transport arrangements.
Keep a record when goods arrive
Check the quantity and variant before reselling a device. Keep identifying information in your own purchase records and report discrepancies promptly through the channel used to order. Share IMEIs only with the relevant seller or support contact, rather than in public comments.
