Our story

We've been inspecting and reselling pre-owned phones in Canada since 2017.
Now we sell them directly to you.

BestMobileCanada — BMC to friends — started in a basement in Quebec City. For seven years, we supplied the biggest pre-owned phone platforms in North America. In 2024, we decided to cut out the middleman. The result: the same phones, the same 1-year warranty, on average 10% cheaper than Reebelo.

What keeps us standing

Three principles we haven't changed in seven years.

Radical honesty

No iPhone 11 sold as 'like new'. Every device is graded, tested and described with its real flaws. If we wouldn't give it to our own mother, we don't sell it.

Better for the planet

A pre-owned phone emits 87% less CO₂ than a new one. Our customers have already avoided more than 240 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent since 2017.

Proudly Canadian

Workshop in Quebec City, local team, service in English and French. Replacement parts are OEM or equivalent quality — never counterfeit.

Our mission

Ending the $800 'like new' scam.

Too many Canadians still pay the price of a brand-new phone for a cosmetically refreshed iPhone 11. Wanting to save money is fine — hiding the truth from you isn't. At BMC, the grade, battery health, sourcing and history of every device are public before you even click 'Add to cart'.

Seven years, four turning points

  1. 2017

    BMC Wholesale is born

    Three friends start a small repair workshop in Quebec City. Demand explodes — we specialize in B2B inspection.

  2. 2019

    North American partnerships

    BMC becomes one of the main Canadian suppliers for platforms like Reebelo, Back Market and several major retailers. More than 18,000 devices processed per year.

  3. 2022

    New workshop in Quebec City

    We move into a 6,200 sq. ft. facility with a Phonecheck-certified test station, a battery calibration line, and an antistatic room for microsoldering.

  4. 2024

    BestMobileCanada launches

    We open our doors to the public. Same devices, same warranties, but without the platform markup: 10% cheaper than Reebelo, delivered in 24 hours anywhere in Canada.

Quebec City workshop

Inspected here, not on the other side of the world.

Every device we sell goes through our workshop in Quebec City. We run the 32-point Phonecheck diagnostic, replace the battery when needed, do ultrasonic cleaning, final QC and packaging.

That means we control what leaves our hands, and a warranty claim is settled right here in Quebec City in 5 business days — not in New Jersey.
