Quotes over the phone - Office Supplies :(

James Burke

Being a grandpa is more fun than working
Whatever happened to simple quotes over the phone for "off-the-shelf" office supplies?

To make a long story short, the local quick print added an inkjet franchise a few months ago.

Our local office supply store recently bought out a long-established, well respected print shop.

And I get caught in the crossfire of their new "policies".

It took me the better part of an hour to get two, simple....over-the-phone quotes on a laser jet toner cartridge.

Seems they "have to look it up" and will need to take my name, number and company name so they can "get right back to me".

Is it any wonder why people resort to the big box stores?

Cause they had to find it on the internet and figure out how much shipping was and how much they should mark it up.
I figured that out cause our local office supply place does that. They messed up and didn't take a shipping tag off one time, (this told me were to order it)
so now I just order direct and save about $50.
