Some Contracts for Copiers Should be a Crime!

We deal with companies who like simplicity.  They want a simple flat rate for their services because they are easier to budget for this way.  Often times, their copier contracts in Las Vegas are no different.  We work hard to try and educate our customers of the dangers of just signing up for copier plans, however, some people don’t really care.  Maybe it’s because we dob’t always deal with the business owners themselves.  Let’s look at an example:

Meet Jill, a hardworking admin assistant for a law firm in Las Vegas.  She is busy with many tasks from helping with interrogatives to scheduling new clients.  Her day is full.  The firm’s copier contracts are coming up (they have 5 copiers) and she has been given the job of finding new copiers for their Las Vegas law firm.

Jill knows she doesn’t know copiers well.  She doesn’t have the time to learn a whole new industry.  She calls around, and it seems to get more complicated.  Jill will be a target for a rep who promises simplicity because Jill does not have time to do real analysis.  So, what happens is several companies will offer contracts with overages, etc and then a contract with “unlimited” prints comes across her desk. Sure it’s $80 more a month per copier, but by the time they pay for all of these overages on their copier in Las Vegas… won’t it be the same?

The short answer is no.  When the “unlimited contract” is formulated, it is done so with “worst case” in mind.  If you don’t have the worst case…  then you are paying too much!  In this case, it’ll probably work out to be about $250 per month for 60 months, or a measly $15,000!
