I love how you folks are ragging on me for calling out the crooked company I quit working for in 2017. I'm not the one full of shit, Cellular Citi is.
Because the way you told the story, you were framing the whole third party repair industry as being crooked. Your experience may have been shit, and that shop may have used sketchy batteries from weird sources, but you stated it as though all shops do that, and that is objectively false.
Now fuck off.
I've worked for 4 different repair companies, and once the manufacturers decided to start sealing the batteries inside the device, not a single one of those companies could obtain official new batteries.
So please tell me where 3rd party technicians can get official brand new batteries...
And you can back off with the cursing.
Alright, so you went from the whole industry to one company to.. four. Got it.
I’ve already stated where we sourced our batteries.
And I’ll curse if I fucken want to.
Oh wonderful, MobileSentrix is down right now too.

You got any other magic solutions that aren't up in thin air right now?
Currently MobileDefenders is moving all their stock to MobileSentrix in Virginia.

Although MobileSentrix was apparently founded in 2012, I can't find a single mention of them prior to July 9, 2018.

Guess it would have been nice to know of a reputable supplier before I said fuckit and quit in 2017.
Thanks for the information, asshole.
