been repairing iphone/ipods now for quite a while , quite a good little earner but its getting to the point where im getting quite a few people asking for me to fix stuff . always used ebay to buy the bits but ive found they can be quite cheaply made and delivery times are rubbish.
im after bulk buying some screens and other bits so i can fix them on the spot and not having to wait a week for delivery. is there any places that do this and discounts for the more you buy??

There are a couple of guys on here that do mobile repairs also (Munchie and Fazza IIRC), maybe they could point you in the right direction?

I use a couple of suppliers Nick, they are trade only though so you will need a business bank account and proof you are trading etc like proof of business

I'm sure munchie will be along as well soon enough so ill ask both of you, how much do you charge a fellow CS member for a 4S screen replacement? Left it on my roof and drove off

Good price that
I personally dont go down the bulk side of things but I do have a supplier that could possibly get me a price on loads and put it through my accounts no problem.
This is only a hobbie for me so would rather leave it to the pro's that repair these for a living but I can do 4s for £55 using genuine Apple LCD but a non genuine frame
they are pretty good.
Most of my customers use me to repair the screen then simply go into Apple to replace it with a new phone (as Apple wont replace with a broken screen.......)

What's the excuse they say to Apple?

Why would Apple replace it when its fixed?
I done loads of iPhone 4 screens, and replacements antennas/bezels on a few(which can be very tricky). Did my first 4S last night, shit myself when I finished and it wouldn't turn on.  . Stripped it back down to find one connector i'd left off (which isn't on the iPhone 4).
