Today, we're doing something unorthodox. Most businesses in this industry refuse to give away information. We'll be doing just that - I'm going to tell you Who we purchase iPhone/iPad/iPod replacement parts from. Why we purchase these parts from them. What we look for when purchasing parts.

Price isn't everything. I've always been outspoken against price shopping for parts to repair laptops. You want to arrange by lowest price – you'll get precisely what you bargain for, and eBay & Amazon are two of the worst cespools when it comes to purchasing repair parts.

People in the repair community ignore this, because, frankly – it DOES NOT apply to us! People are not choosing to buy Proliant servers instead of […]
