The consequences of hiring a photocopier from the wrong supplier? How to avoid a nasty surprise!

March 16, 2012 - PRLog -- At alarming rates, countless companies are signing up to lease hire agreements, also known as service level agreements without entirely understanding the full obligations. Many do not really know what they are really getting themselves in for.

This short article highlights the possible consequences when dealing with the wrong supplier. E-solutions acts with integrity when it comes to photocopiers for sales/contracts/leasing!

Many of the complaints that we see include:

•   Businesses are in actual fact faced with a liability far greater than what actually would have been executed to them
•   The photocopier supplied is due to wind down shortly or has become obsolete, meaning company is potentially being overcharged against what they should be
•   There could be different inducements displayed for companies to sign up for when signing up to a new lease hire agreement. Usually this will consist of a settlement of any prior engagements, but ultimately the proposal is not genuinely satisfied
•   Many suppliers will place hidden charges on devices that are not actually being supplied, however find that are still charged
•   Overall the entire contract which in turn will turn out more expensive to what had originally been anticipated and quoted

Taking on board all these possible outcomes, pay close attention to what a sales person is communicating to you. During this type of situation you cannot take their words alone as gospel.

The law is a complex and dull area for many but it is imperative to get it right first time to reduce your risks. Before signing anything review your existing lease or check over the new potential supplier.

TIPS

Independently assess the value of the equipment, read reviews and ask recommendations from other previous users of the same model or brand you are potentially going to hire. Ask for a demonstration from the supplier so you allow yourself to become familiar with user interface as this is crucial. Most importantly ensure that you are not paying above the market rate as a premium.

Sensibly check over the description and breakdown of the equipment you aim to order. It is essential to correlate the right details to what you require and what you actually receive as you would not want to be in the position for any discrepancies.
