Best wholesale supplier for Surface Pro back glass?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for some recommendations on where to source back glass for Surface Pro repairs. I've recently had a few customers come in with cracked screens, and I've been struggling to find a reliable wholesale supplier that offers good quality back glass at a reasonable price. I've tried a couple of vendors, but the quality has been hit or miss, and their RMA policies aren't the best. I'd love to hear where you all are sourcing these parts and if you've had better luck with certain suppliers. What should I be looking for in terms of pricing and warranty support?

I highly recommend checking out Parts Wholesale. I've been sourcing Surface Pro back glass from them for nearly a year now, and their quality has been consistently good. They offer competitive pricing, usually around $30-$40 per piece, and their RMA policy is straightforward. If you send back defective parts, they credit your account without much hassle. Plus, their shipping is pretty quick, which is a bonus when you're trying to get repairs done fast. I also use RepairShopr to manage my orders, which integrates well with their process.
I've had mixed results with some suppliers, but I found that eBay has some decent options if you're willing to sift through listings. Just be careful to check seller feedback before making a purchase. Prices can vary widely, but I've seen back glass priced as low as $25. I had a bad experience with one seller who sent me defective parts and was a pain to deal with on the return. So, just make sure to keep your ROI in mind and factor in possible returns when you order.
