Poor service - sub standard products and false advertising

A company with some good helpful employees. Unfortunately they can only render as good service as the products they supply. Our UV 6090 is the worst machine ever. It is advertised as a printer with an Epson printhead, yet Epson refuses to give backup or service because it is not an Epson product. During a site visit (third) that the technician Larry did - he informed me that they have never hidden the fact that it is a Chinese machine and I should have known that the printhead would not be an original part. I have send email upon email to the managing director, Warwick - yet he has not even attempted to contact me. Even a promised 24 hour turnaround on an email never transpired. As a company we have lost huge amounts of money and I will surely not recommend this company to anybody. I have also learned that we are not the only company that suffers due to a lack of back up service. Every single visit by the technician was also an education session for other technicians. And at the end of every visit we were lectured on all the negative effects of the environment. Yet every time the criteria for the perfect operating environment is changed. We have been laughed at, explained how repairs is liked to changing a tyre on a bicycle ect. They can sell and maintain Laser machines, but that is as far as I will trust them.

Dawie. So, we bend over backwards and consult many times last week arranging our Richards Bay Trip, specifically mentioning the importance of you as the client we are primarily coming to see.  You are advised of the travel arrangements and arrival time of our technician - only to find out that whilst our other Richards Bay clients make time - to see my staff - you just disappear and are not available the entire weekend.  An email was sent to you advising you that our Technician would be working late to ensure that your machine was fixed. 

As for the bit about Epson heads being **** - well that is just plain defamatory. If Epson doesn’t support it locally my overseas suppliers do! And just what support did you want -there is not a single user adjustable component to the head. 

As for our staff all changing and experimenting-that’s just plain manipulation. You know very well that my Company has invested Hundreds of Thousands of Rands setting up a Richards Bay branch to service clients in the area.  My Product Manager, Larry, was with my Richards Bay staff when they came to see you to ensure that they were fully versed on your machine going forward which meant them attending the site visit. That's how we will be able to support you going forward.  Yes- we could have explained the reason for the other staff coming though better. As for the 24 hour turn around -We have no record of this promise except that you were sent emails explaining that Larry returned to JHB Tuesday evening and that he and his staff have been moved into our head office and between giving me feedback, load shedding and pcs/systems needed to be reinstalled - this was not possible- but you were informed via 2 emails, and I am sure you too have been subjected to ongoing load shedding. 

With regards to me not getting hold of you directly.  You copied in lots of people on the email which was responded to you by one person for consistency purposes. Furthermore, on the email it was stated that it was on behalf of me. Rather judge me on my commitment to opening a branch in your area, arranging that staff be available to support our clients until 8pm at night, keeping spares, providing hard copy manuals and working weekends etc.

The part about the bicycle is just pure misrepresentation. You have also been told numerous time how to maintain your machine as you would do a bicycle. We never said your machine was like a bicycle.

Regards
