Best wholesale supplier for Steam Deck refurbished housings?
Hey everyone! I'm reaching out to see if anyone can recommend a reliable wholesale supplier for refurbished housings for Steam Deck repairs. As a small shop, quality is crucial for us since we want to ensure that the units we send back out are in top-notch condition. I've been scouting a few options but the pricing and RMA policies are all over the place. If anyone has experience sourcing these parts, I'd love to know who you trust and any tips on how to streamline the process. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I’ve been using a supplier called TechParts Direct for my Steam Deck housings. Their pricing is pretty reasonable, generally around $30 per housing, and they offer a 90-day warranty which has saved me a couple of times. The quality has been consistent, and I’ve never had an issue with their RMA process. I usually order in bulk to keep costs down. They also provide a tracking system that integrates with my shop software, which makes inventory management a breeze. Highly recommend them!
Hey there! I had a mixed experience with a couple of suppliers. One was GadgetSource, where I found their prices slightly higher, around $40 per housing. The quality was okay, but they had a slower RMA process, which caused delays for me. It might work if you're not in a hurry. Just be sure to read the fine print on their warranty because it can be a bit tricky. Good luck with your search!
