Best wholesale supplier for Dell XPS keyboards?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on where to source replacement keyboards for Dell XPS laptops. I've had a few customers come in recently with broken keyboards, and I want to make sure I’m getting good quality parts at a reasonable price. I usually order from a few suppliers, but I’m not satisfied with the options I currently have. I’ve noticed that some of the keyboards I’ve received have had quality issues, and RMA processes can be a hassle. Ideally, I want to find a supplier that has a solid warranty and quick turnaround times for replacements. Any suggestions based on your experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve had great success with a supplier called LaptopPartsExpert. They typically have Dell XPS keyboards in stock at around $25 each, and I’ve found their quality to be consistently good. The best part is their RMA process is straightforward; if there's an issue, they send a replacement without much hassle. I usually order in bulk, which also helps with costs. Plus, their customer service is responsive, which is crucial for my workflow. Definitely worth checking out!
I used to order from a different vendor, but found their pricing to be a bit high, around $35 per keyboard. I switched to using eBay for some of my Dell parts, including keyboards. You can sometimes snag a good deal, but just be cautious about the seller ratings. I had a couple of issues with quality, so now I only buy from sellers with a solid return policy. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but it can save you money if you're willing to take the extra time to sift through listings.
