I ordered an ink cartridge in late November for my Brother printer. It arrived in early December without a problem. However, when I needed it on a Saturday in early January, I discovered that the cartridge was defective insofar as it would not securely fit into the printer. I had to wait until Monday to reach customer service, and then a couple of days passed before I was told that a replacement would be sent. At first I was told to return the defective cartridge, but then I was told not to. I was treated as if replacing a defective product "at no additional cost" was a courtesy being paid to me rather than an ethical obligation of good business. I would have thought that they would have found some way to acknowledge that their sending me a defective product resulted in great inconvenience and disruption of my business, as well as my having (because I had an immediate need for the printer and their cartridge proved to be unreliable) to incur the expense of going to an office supply store to acquire at greater cost a non-defective cartridge.
