Other supplier grade codes
Some offers use B, C or N/A. These are separate supplier labels, not automatic equivalents of A, AB+ or AB.
- B / C: ask sales to confirm the specific batch, functional tests, cosmetic wear, battery condition and acceptance standard before ordering.
- N/A: no standard grade has been provided or the phone grading system does not apply. It does not mean new or defect-free; confirm the item specification and condition with sales.
