Best wholesale supplier for AirPods Pro charging ports?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on where to source charging ports for AirPods Pro repairs. I've had a few customers come in recently with charging issues, and I want to make sure I'm using reliable parts. Ideally, I need a supplier that offers good pricing and a solid RMA policy, since I've experienced a few defective parts in the past. If anyone has insights on quality and turnaround times, that would be really helpful too.

I've been sourcing AirPods Pro charging ports from iFixit for a while now, and they have been pretty reliable. Their prices are competitive, usually around $10 per port, and I haven't had many issues with defects. Their RMA policy is straightforward; if something's faulty, they typically handle returns quickly. Plus, they provide great repair guides that help my team fix issues faster. Definitely worth checking out!
I've also used parts from a few other suppliers, but I've found that some of them come with inconsistent quality. One vendor I tried had ports that didn't fit properly, which slowed down repairs. I would recommend testing a small batch from different suppliers before committing. You might also want to look into local suppliers who can offer same-day service for parts, which can help with turnaround times.
