Best wholesale supplier for Lenovo ThinkPad keyboards?
Hey fellow repair shop owners, I'm in need of some advice on sourcing Lenovo ThinkPad keyboards. I've been using a local supplier, but their prices have been climbing, and the quality sometimes feels inconsistent. I want to ensure I'm providing reliable parts to my customers while keeping my costs manageable. Any recommendations on wholesale suppliers that offer good pricing and a solid RMA process? Would love to hear your experiences and any specific models you’ve found that work well.

I highly recommend checking out LaptopScreen.com. They have a great selection of Lenovo ThinkPad keyboards, and I've found their prices to be competitive. I've ordered from them multiple times, and the quality has been consistent. Their RMA process is straightforward, which is a huge plus for me since I want to minimize downtime when things go wrong. Plus, they usually ship pretty quickly, which helps keep my turnaround times down. Just make sure to check for any bulk purchase discounts if you're ordering in larger quantities!
Another option you might consider is Parts-People.com. I've used them for various parts, including keyboards. Their pricing is decent, and they have a good reputation for quality. The downside I've found is their shipping can sometimes take longer than I'd like, especially during busy times. Make sure to keep that in mind if you have urgent repairs. Overall, they’re a solid backup option if you can't find what you need elsewhere.
