Best wholesale supplier for iPad mini charging ports?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on the best wholesale suppliers for iPad mini charging ports. I've been struggling to find a reliable source that offers good quality parts at a reasonable price. Lately, I've been experiencing a high return rate on the ports I've sourced from a couple of vendors, and I'm wondering if anyone has found a supplier that balances affordability with quality. I'm also curious about their RMA policies and how they handle defective parts. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there! I've had great success sourcing iPad mini charging ports from iFixit. Their pricing is competitive, usually around $2.50 per port when you buy in bulk, and I've found their quality to be consistently high. They also have a solid RMA policy—if you get defective parts, they make it easy to return them and get replacements without much hassle. Plus, their website is user-friendly, and I can manage my orders directly, which helps streamline my workflow. Hope this helps!
I've tried a few different vendors for iPad mini ports, but I found that AliExpress can be hit-or-miss. Prices are usually lower, around $1.50 each, but the quality often reflects that. I've had to deal with a fair number of RMAs, which can slow down my shop's turnaround time. If you go this route, I recommend ordering a small batch first to test them out before committing to a larger order. Just be prepared for longer shipping times too!
