Best wholesale supplier for Apple Watch refurbished housings?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a reliable wholesale supplier for refurbished Apple Watch housings. My shop has seen a steady increase in demand for Apple Watch repairs, and sourcing quality parts has become crucial for us. I often find the prices vary widely, and I'm concerned about the quality of what I'm getting. If anyone has experience with specific suppliers, I'd love to hear about their pricing, quality, and RMA policies. I'm aiming to keep my turnaround time efficient while maintaining high standards for my customers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I highly recommend checking out iFixit for refurbished Apple Watch housings. They have a solid reputation for quality and their prices are quite competitive, usually around $30-40 per unit, depending on the model. Their RMA policy is straightforward; I've had to return a few parts and the process was hassle-free. They also provide detailed guides that are super helpful when performing repairs. It’s a great workflow to have everything in one place. This has really streamlined my process and helped maintain my repair turnaround times.
I've tried several suppliers, but one that stood out to me is RepairPartsPlus. Their prices are a bit lower, generally ranging from $25-$35, but I’ve had mixed results with the quality. Some housings were fine, but a few had minor defects. Their RMA process is acceptable, but it took a little longer than I expected. I would suggest ordering a small batch first to test the quality before committing to larger orders. Keep in mind that while I use shop management software to track orders, having reliable parts is still key to my workflow.
