Anyone doing business with Databazaar.com?

Has anyone doing business with Databazaar.com been having trouble getting their orders lately? Seems quite a drastic change in their customer service from past years.

Thanks!

I dumped them about 2 years ago when they would not stand behind their printer cartridges. I bought 6 to get me through the tax season in December. In March, I pulled two in a row out of the box that did not work. Databazzar refused to replace or refund. I told them to stick it where the sun don't shine.

We use Brother brand laser printers and refill the cartridges for 10% of the cost of new. Each cart will refill at least 2 sometimes 3 times before giving up entirely. Makes the costs of printing cheaper than the copy machine.

I've used Databazaar up until now with no prior issues. When I ordered my cartridges in January they failed to send me an email when they shipped. Then I found out they hadn't shipped & after a couple of calls they finally arrived. Now I needed a catridge for my fax machine & they apparently haven't shipped & they don't answer the phones. I guess I will need to look for another supplier :-(

You should consider Brother brand laser products. New Cart (rated at 8,000 pages, actual production 5,100+) $89.99. One bottle refill toner $10. 10 minutes to refill. Same 5,100 production. Savings by refilling 3 times = $240, way more than the cost of a new printer if needed. Cost per printed page $.006 each. Compare that to the cost of your copier!!

Brother is the way to go. Fax machines have the same refill capabilities. $6 each.

Jack, where do you get the bottle of refill toner and do you just break the seal and remove the plug and refill? Tell us more. Sounds VERY interesting.

I would like to know this also. Can you do HP 4050 cartridges the same way?

Just bumping up as I saw another issue on printers. I have been using HP 4050's for many years now. I wonder if I can refill cartridges instead of buying them?
