Customer voice + public ratings
Global coverage, fantastic customer service, fair pricing, easy to deploy. We onboarded and shipped to 6 new countries before other vendors even replied.
Quipteams provides extremely accurate lead times and amazing global coverage. They simplified our LATAM logistics completely.
What I really appreciate is their wide range of options across LATAM. Whenever we need a specific device model, they always help us find it.

Common questions
quipteams is pay-per-use: itemized quote per order. No platform fees, no minimums, no exclusivity. CDW is contract-based — annual or multi-year commitments with early-termination fees of 50–100% of the remaining balance, and international orders prepaid in full by US dollar wire transfer. See the full pricing breakdown →
quipteams averages 4 business days globally, with 80% of orders arriving in 2–4 days, because devices are sourced locally in each of the 133 countries we cover — not shipped across borders. CDW publishes no international delivery SLA: their own terms state “delivery timelines may vary by vendor and region.” Once a CDW shipment lands in the destination country, customs clearance, import duties, and licenses are on you — CDW's responsibility ends at the border.

No. Many of our customers use CDW for US procurement and quipteams for the rest of the countries and services — retrieval, storage, buyback, and certified destruction. There's no exclusivity requirement. Run them side by side and use quipteams where CDW isn't built to deliver.
No. Zero contracts, zero minimums, zero exclusivity, zero early-termination fees. Order one laptop or 500 — same terms apply. You can start, pause, and resume whenever you want. See pricing & billing FAQs →
Beyond procurement: retrieval, local storage, buyback with credit toward future orders, and certified data wiping plus destruction — all in 133 countries through 400+ local vendors. CDW's lifecycle services concentrate in US/UK/Canada; outside those markets they're not publicly documented as standard offerings. quipteams also offers native HRIS integrations (BambooHR, Rippling, Deel, HiBob, Workday), an open API, and a dedicated AM and CSM for every account — regardless of size.
