    WORST Customer Service, product quality and design IVE EVER SEEN
    1 Star
    WORST Customer Service, product quality and design IVE EVER SEEN
    I own a small business and bought a Brother MFC J1205W for my office after seeing the excellent reviews, reputation, and supposed reliability.I bought this printer a little over a year ago, and I have only used the initial set of Color cartridges, which were supposed to last a long time but as most of you experienced did not last long at all.I need a very important document printed in color for something business-related, I won't go into details, but this form is required for me to collect a significant sum of money for the business.After spending $60 replacing all the ink, the printer REFUSES to print ANY color. Now mind you I have only used the color enough to replace the ink ONCE and it doesn't work. TERRIBLE product design.Now, I am not a novice when it comes to tech. I cleaned the Printer Heads multiple times, blew the lines, ran solutions, and all the tips and tricks that were recommended. Drivers and software updated. Multiple settings, different devices. So, after hours of that, I reached out for support.This is the reason you want to stay away from this company, I had one of the single worst experiences getting hold of customer service/support.1st attempt - Chat, waited close to 30 mins for nothing.2nd attempt - Call in and use the callback option. A person calls back from the number about 30 minutes later, they call ONE ring and hang up. Wow...3rd attempt - Call in on hold - I waited close to 2 HOURS yes 2 HOURS on hold when the company quotes 15-30 minutes.4th attempt - We are now rolling into the next day; I call in again and wait 30 minutes. No response.5th attempt - While I am on the phone, I queue up for a live support chat.Sure, buy Brothers printers if you want, you'll be on your own for service and support because you won't be able to get ahold of anyone,What is the reason for a 2-year warranty if you can't get ahold of anyone to do a return??!!!!Never again and our company is moving into a much larger office soon and we were going to significantly upgrade our printer to a business industrial printer, and after this experience with your terrible product design and service. WE WILL NOT be buying Brothers products and I will be cautioning all I know not to either. As this is beyond unacceptable.
