Best wholesale supplier for Galaxy Tab A9 home buttons?
Hey everyone! I'm looking for a reliable wholesale supplier for home buttons specifically for the Galaxy Tab A9. I've got a few devices coming in with faulty home buttons, and I need to make sure I'm sourcing quality parts that won't lead to a ton of RMAs. I've tried a couple of suppliers, but the quality seems to vary a lot. I'm also curious about pricing. What's a reasonable cost for these buttons? I'm trying to keep my repair costs down while still providing quality service to my customers. Any recommendations or experiences you have would be greatly appreciated!

I highly recommend checking out 'Parts4U'. I've been sourcing my Galaxy Tab A9 home buttons from them for a while now. They offer competitive pricing, usually around $2.50 each, and the quality has been consistently good. I've had minimal issues with RMAs — maybe 1% or so, which is quite manageable. Their shipping is also pretty quick, and their customer service is responsive if you run into any issues. Plus, they have a bulk discount if you order in larger quantities, which helps keep the cost down even further.
I usually go with 'GadgetParts'. While their pricing is slightly higher, around $3.00 each, I've found that their parts tend to have better durability. I had some issues with RMAs initially, but after switching to their higher quality line, I’ve seen a lot fewer returns. Just keep in mind that their shipping can take a bit longer, so plan accordingly. If you're using shop software, make sure you keep track of your inventory to avoid running out when demand spikes!
