Wed site says warranty left on my printer (bought from them on 1st of May) 10 months remaining, thinks I bought it in February.

Got passed from pillar to post on their support line, given 6 different phone numbers to ring, spent 3 hours on the phone, gave up in the end >:(

I use the Aldi German pattern brown sauce :-[ as it is much cheaper, tastes as good and like HP the pattern lid opens everytime & the seal lasts until it's empty. :y ;D

In this world, sometimes pattern parts are acceptable, but when it comes to sauce, there's only HP, and Heinz, there's only Colman's mustard,and branston pickle

Yes, but Rods lives in a large house in an exclusive area of the country and is doing some work on his bedrooms. Every penny helps.  ::)

I wonder if he does what some people do around here? Take their M&S carrier bags into Aldi for the benefit of the neighbours when they are unloading the car.

I had superb service from HP today, had a toner cartridge, 11 months old develop a drum fault.
Raised a case on their portal,
within an hour I had a phonecall,
few minutes of diagnostic proof, and a new cartridge dispatched!

Piss taking aside, like most large organisations, if you are on script, they are fast and efficient. Like most large organisations, if you have a non common issue, they become hard to deal with.

My problem has now been sorted by one of their mods on their facebook page.

He arranged an email support (not normally available)

The final straw was when support gave me a phone number in Romania to ring that made me resort to Facebook.

Can't fault the free ink service, spare cartridges arrived within a week of signing up.

Final update - 23 hours from case logged to new toner delivered, plus a phone call to check I was happy.
Dont even want the old cartridge back.
Icing on the cake, new cartridge is full capacity, not a 1/3rd used starter cartridge :)
