\"Alphagraphics<\/div>\n
My experience with Alphagraphics has been just awful and won’t frickin’ stop. They won’t send me my refund check now until I ship back the books that they got me two months late and have IPR do the same. And they didn’t tell me this. I had to call and ask why I didn’t have a refund yet. And leave a message. Now I’m supposed to call their accounting department and figure out how stuff’s supposed to be shipped to them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They company is just terrible. Lemme say it again so Google can hear: My experience with Alphagraphics has been uniformly terrible. It’s been expensive, time-consuming, and fraught with amateur errors on their part.<\/div>\n

So it turns out they’ve been waiting for me to return the books to them on my own dime. And neglecting to tell me that the whole time.<\/p>\n

I have never had a poorer experience with a printer than I have with Alphagraphics. They have cocked up every single element<\/em> of this job. It has taken them three months<\/em> to get me a reprint<\/em> of 100 copies<\/em>. Then, despite assurances and requests, they ship it by, I dunno, dogsled or something so it arrives two weeks later than their already two months late.<\/p>\n

Then, when I ask for a refund, they apparently expected me to a) wait for the books to show up and b) instruct IPR to repackage them and send them back at their expense while I do the same with my copies.<\/p>\n

Seriously, it’s like they’ve got monkeys running the company. And they’re not particularly bright monkeys. We’re not talking apes; I could trust my printing to a bonobo and get better results. No, we’re talking tamarins at best. And those monkeys have cost me a lot of money. Unlike other tamarins I’ve met.
\nSo, some advice: never, ever use Alphagraphics. I’m truly, genuinely amazed that such a company can exist. May their assets be purchased by an organization with a little more professional pride.<\/p>\n
