Repair-Consortium.org was founded in August 2009 by a handful of leading iPod repair and iPhone repair companies determined to bring legitimacy to the business. These few companies came up with high-level of standards that every member of the Repair-Consortium.org had to prove they could meet in order to qualify for membership. The goal of the Repair-Consortium.org is to clearly recognize the reliable, trustworthy iPod and iPhone repair companies that are in the marketplace today, while at the same time help customers steer clear of the less-scrupulous ones.

It does not take much to start an online repair business today, but that low barrier to entry has allowed fly-by-night companies to start up shop, and put customers’ devices at risk. These shops put the more established iPod repair companies like milliamp.com (and the other members of the Repair-Consortium.org) at risk, by potentially harming the online repair business.

Only members of Repair-Consortium.org have been vetted by other top-tier repair companies to ensure that they have met the highest standards of the iPhone and iPod repair industry. Companies that do not have the Repair-Consortium.org Seal have not submitted themselves to the rigorous evaluation process, or have done so and were not able to meet the requirements.

We at milliamp.com understand that a customer has to take a “leap of faith” when deciding to send their expensive (and oftentimes sentimental) iPod or iPhone off to a company that they may never even heard of to get repaired. That is why milliamp.com has worked very hard to meet the Requirements of Repair-Consortium.org. Our goal by participating in this organization is to help demonstrate to people who need that extra burst of confidence that it is safe to extent their trust, send in their device, and have a high-quality repair performed and then quickly sent back.

The website milliamp.com is not only a member of Repair-Consortium.org, but was fundamental in creating the organization in the first place. Milliamp.com has met the requirements of the organization, which is a challenge in itself, but also sparked an interest in the concept among a handful of other top-tier repair companies, helping to get the organization off the drawing board and being recognized as the gold standard of Apple iPods and iPhone repairs.
