BCA's Summary and Analysis:

Complainants allege the company uses misleading and deceptive sales practices in order to solicit toner or other supplies. Businesses complain that this company's representatives call misrepresenting that they are a regular supplier saying that the price for their toner is increasing but they can offer a deal if they authorize an order. The complainants then discover the company is not their regular supplier when they receive an invoice and they experience difficulty returning the unwanted items, getting the company to void invoices or issue credits..

The company generally responds to complaints by denying allegations that they misrepresent who they are, They claim they make it clear on the phone, and during the order confirmation who they are and the complainant agreed to receive the order. In some cases the company voids invoices, closes accounts, or informs that no order has been processed. In other cases, the customers contact is removed from their lists.

Comments and Analysis

When solicited by telemarketers offering business supplies, we urge extreme caution. Complaints against this type of company generally allege that telemarketers mislead customers in believing they are the regular supplier, misrepresent product offers, ship unauthorized orders, or charge exorbitant fees for supplies. Request that the caller send a catalog or brochure describing the items and its prices. To minimize misunderstandings, designate one employee to whom all calls regarding office supplies must be directed. If unordered merchandise arrives, immediately write to advise the company of your intent to keep the shipment as a free gift unless pick up is arranged within a reasonable amount of time. Send your letter by certified mail to obtain proof of receipt.

Other Considerations

Mail we sent was marked refused or returned from this company. Although the company appears to be in business, we have been unable to obtain responses to complaints and/or requests for other information.

Before you accept, or pay for, any merchandise that arrives under less-than-clear circumstances, protect yourself by insisting on proof that an order was placed. If no proof is provided, offer to return the merchandise at no cost to you. Give them a specific and reasonable amount of time (30 days, etc.) to pick up the merchandise. Tell the sellers that you reserve the right to keep the merchandise or dispose of it after the specified time has passed.

Under federal law, you are entitled to regard unordered merchandise sent through the U.S. mail as a free gift. The same law makes it illegal to mail bills for such unordered merchandise. If you do not wish to pay for unsolicited merchandise, you have three options. In each case, by law, you have no obligation to the sender. If you have not opened the package, you may mark it "Return to Sender," and the Postal Service will return it with no additional postage charged to you. If you open the package and don't like what you find, you may throw it away; or, if you like what you find, you may keep it for free. In this instance, "finders-keepers" applies unconditionally.

If unordered merchandise arrives by private delivery, do not accept the shipment. If you have already accepted the shipment, send the shipper a certified letter with return receipt requested, demanding proof of your order. If there is no valid proof, inform the sender that unless the merchandise is picked up within 30 days, you will dispose of it. By giving the sender an opportunity to recover the merchandise, you invalidate any claim that you accepted an offer of sale merely by keeping the shipment. If an invoice for the unordered merchandise arrives, withhold payment and do not use the merchandise. If the firm fails to respond to your letter, or if the sender threatens you with legal action, contact an attorney and your state attorney general's office.
