Best wholesale supplier for Nintendo Switch OLED panels?
Hey everyone! I'm on the lookout for a reliable wholesale supplier for Nintendo Switch OLED panels. As a shop owner, I want to ensure that I'm getting quality parts that won't lead to a high return rate. It's crucial for me to find a supplier that offers competitive pricing as well. If you have any recommendations, could you also share details about their RMA policy? I want to make sure I'm covered in case of defects. Any insights on your workflow with these parts would also be appreciated!

I've had great success with a supplier called iFixit. Their OLED panels for the Nintendo Switch OLED have been reliable and come with a 30-day warranty. Price-wise, I usually pay around $60 per panel, which I think is reasonable considering the quality. They also have a straightforward RMA process, which is a must for me. I also use their repair guides and tools, which make the workflow smoother for my techs when handling these repairs.
I used to source from a different vendor, but I found their OLED panels to be inconsistent in quality, which led to a lot of returns. Now, I purchase from a local distributor that charges about $65 each. While they are a bit pricier, the quality is much better, and their RMA policy is decent. Just be sure to check their return shipping costs, as they can add up. I also recommend keeping a close eye on your inventory management software to ensure you're not overstocking these parts.
