      Comments aboutFargo DTC4000 ID Card Printer Single-Sided - Configurable:

      Unit was bad out of the box. Called customer service and was told that they do not accept returns on opened boxes. How are you suppose to know if a printer is good it bad unless you open the box? Called tech support and was out on hold and hung up on. Called tech support back and was told that I could not be helped because they closed in 2 minutes. Told to call back the next day and they would issue a return authorization. Why he couldn't do that in the two minutes we had before his Quito g time is beyond me. For that matter I don't know why they answer the phone at all after 5:00 pm if they simply hang up on you at closing time or refuse to help you after 5:30. I was a loyal customer but I will never purchase anything more after this experience.

              We were very particular in what we needed out of an employee ID CARD machine. It took us months of exploring and getting referrals. Choosing ID Wholesaler ended up being a beatuiful experience. Our sales rep was able to get us a fabulous price. We received all of our products very quickly. Everything was very easy to set up and even easier to use. The helpline was very quick to answer any questions we had when we were experiencing operator errors. :) Very happy with our products and ID Wholesaler. Highly recommend both to anyone.
