Best wholesale supplier for GoPro Hero LCD screens?
Hi everyone, I'm the owner of a small camera repair shop, PixelFix, where we specialize in GoPro repairs among other devices. Recently, I've been facing challenges sourcing high-quality LCD screens for the GoPro Hero series, particularly the Hero 5 and Hero 7. The screens we’ve received from various suppliers have been inconsistent in terms of quality, with some having noticeable color distortions and others being dead on arrival. I’m looking for reliable wholesale suppliers that provide good pricing—ideally between $30 to $50 per screen—to keep my repair costs manageable. Additionally, I want to know about their return policies, especially how they handle RMAs for defective parts. If anyone has had good experiences with suppliers or has recommendations on what to look for in terms of quality control, I’d love to hear your insights. Thanks in advance!

Hi there! I've been running my camera repair shop for over a decade, and sourcing GoPro Hero LCD screens has always been a challenge. Currently, I use a supplier called RepairPartsPro, which offers a good selection of screens specifically for the Hero series. Their pricing ranges from $35 to $45 per screen, which is reasonable considering the quality I've received. They have a solid RMA policy; I've only had to return a few screens, and they handled it without any hassle. I recommend inspecting the screens upon arrival, and if you can, do a quick test with a basic setup to check for any defects. For workflow, I use RepairShopr for tracking inventory and orders, which has streamlined my process significantly. Hope this helps!
Hey there! I've been in the repair industry for a few years and focus on GoPro repairs. My go-to supplier has been iFixit, mainly because of their quality assurance. Their prices are higher at around $50, but I've found that the screens are far more reliable. They also have a great return policy and responsive customer service, which is a must when dealing with defective parts. Additionally, I use a workflow software called RepairShopr, which helps me manage my inventory and track returns effectively. If you’re serious about maintaining quality, investing in better suppliers pays off in the long term. Hope this helps!
Hi! I’m new to the repair business and currently running a small shop. I’ve tried sourcing GoPro LCD screens from a few places, including eBay and AliExpress, but it's been hit-or-miss. While prices can be tempting (as low as $25), I often receive screens that are either damaged or don’t function correctly. My advice is to stick with suppliers that specialize in camera parts, even if they are slightly more expensive. I recently heard about iFixit’s parts supply; they're a bit pricier (around $50), but they offer a warranty that might save you headaches in the long run. Just ensure you’re clear about return policies before placing bulk orders.
Hello! As the owner of a multi-location repair shop, I can share my experience with sourcing LCD screens for GoPro models. I primarily use Wholesale Gadget Parts. Their prices are competitive, usually around $40 per screen, but I've encountered a few quality issues, particularly with the Hero 6 models. Make sure to check for batch reviews and ask about their QC processes to minimize defects. They do offer a 14-day return policy, but I once had to chase them down for an RMA, which was frustrating. It's essential to have a robust inventory management system to track these returns effectively. Good luck with your sourcing!
