Best wholesale supplier for MacBook Pro refurbished housings?
Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on where to source refurbished housings for MacBook Pros. I've been using a few local suppliers, but the quality isn't consistent, and the prices are getting a bit high. I usually pay around $80 per housing, but I feel like I'm not getting the best deal. I'd love to hear where you're all sourcing your parts, especially if you have insights on warranty or RMA policies. It’s crucial for us to keep our customers happy with the quality of repairs, as well as managing our costs effectively. Thanks in advance for any tips!

I highly recommend checking out iFixit for refurbished MacBook Pro housings. I've been using them for about a year now and have found their quality to be top-notch. They offer a 30-day warranty on their parts, which is great for peace of mind. Pricing typically hovers around $75 per housing, depending on the model, and their return policy is straightforward. Plus, their website is easy to navigate, making it simple to find exactly what you need. It really streamlined our workflow, and I can vouch for their customer service as well.
I’ve had mixed experiences with different suppliers, but recently I've been using a vendor called MacParts. Their pricing is similar, around $80, but I had issues with their RMA process – it took a while to get replacements. They do have a decent selection, but the quality has been hit or miss. I’m still on the lookout for better options, so if you find something solid, let us know! Meanwhile, I’d suggest keeping a close eye on the condition of the parts you get from them.
