SCAM!
Don't use this company at all !!!!!!!!!!!!
We order a toner and they send us a fake one for $150 each without even ordering those ones. We've been chased by a debt collector and we had to pay a lot for a fake item

out of date toners.
I got scammed by this mob in 2017 and they sent me all "use by date 2018" cartridges. If I print 10 sheets per month I'm doing well. I have changed the cartridges once in 3 years so go figure!!!!!! I have enough cartridges to last me until I'm 100 and by then I think they will have all dried up. I dont like their aggressive phone manner either.

Bad experience
Started with this lot early 2018 and was happy with the product, and within four month they asked me if I wanted the order repeated. I indicated not yet, leave it till next month please and call me again. I did have a small business, now retired but still work a bit to keep the brain active, so do not do a lot of printing. My request was not complied with as a week later the package arrived. Figured if I paid slow, they would just go away. Not so, December received another call, again requested in the New year, but it arrived the next week...Read more
. Almost twice the quantity of my previous orders, and more expensive. I immediately emailed them re the problem, no reply. Further emails, no reply, call for money, mentioned emails, no reply. Have paid what I figured was fair, no threaten legal, and will not give credit for the over supplySimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Scam Artists that just won't go away!!
I got sucked into purchasing ink cartridges from Radford. Like others, I apparently "signed up" for a regular supply!! No way!! That was 2 years ago and all ha been quiet :) Just a few days ago (25/9/19) they said I still have cartridges on my order from 2 years ago!! Took a bit of coaxing, but I managed to get the lady to say that they would invoice me after the delivery! Lol no chance I will be scammed again by these low lifes!!!

Hard sell and expensive, when you say no they are rude!
Told me about the product, at the end she had me signed up or so she thought. Just called me to follow up, to make a sale, I said no I do not like your sly, hard selling and she hung up. I will NEVER buy anything from them.

Misleading information.
Was offered a special "introductory deal" although it was not cheap. Then was sent more, and when I said "no more, my company is too small for this amount of toner" they said I had a contract with them. They have now sent more, yet again, and as this is unsolicited I have accepted it as a gift. They do not reply to return calls to an office number. Same tactics as welfare groups sending greeting cards and pens, hoping that you will feel pressured into paying. I will not be blackmailed.

*Scam*
Never deal with this company. Bought one package and they sent another months later unordered and unauthorised. Rang them, spoke to [name removed] who continued to tell us this was part of a deal, no we didn't agree to anything. We have made many phone calls, some were hung up on, ring back and they say Oh our phones are playing up! I call crap.
Never ever deal with them

Shameless Scum.
Disgusting behavior from representatives who continually call and harass whilst refusing to disclose the nature of their call. When pressed further the female representative became irate and rude. Do not deal with these scum bags.

Stay away from this company
This is one of the worst companies that my business has ever dealt with. Initially they split my order into two separate deliveries, but charged me for both before I received the second. Then they sent the second and tried to charge me for that. They then reckoned that I had ordered a third lot. I told them not to send it, but they did anyway. In the mean time I had sent back two lots of ink cartridges, the first were leaking upon delivery, and the second lot printed photos a bit pale. I kept the third delivery in exchange for the two previous ...Read more
bad batches. I was out of pocket slightly, but I didn't care, it was just agony dealing with these people. Then a man rang. He was rude and angry and threatened to destroy my good credit rating. I rang back later and spoke to a lady who said she would sort it all out. She did, but the facts remain that the Radford product is rubbish, they tell a lot of lies, and they don't deserve any honest person's business.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Completely Unethical
Do not buy from this company! I agreed to one order split into two deliveries a few years ago from Tridex Imaging. Same as others, I have been scammed into accepting more and more deliveries of toner from (now) Radford over the space of 3 years. I now have a huge stock of toner which I will never use. The toner is not good quality either and regularly leaks in the printer. Have spoken to a number of people at Radford and been assured each time that each delivery would be the last and "finalise the order" but it never does and they just keep rin...Read more
ging and telling me we have a contract for more. Today I have told them they are completely unethical and I would not be dealing with them anymore. If they deliver more toner I will not be accepting it or paying for it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

SCAM!!!
Absolute scam artists here! They ring offering free gifts (which you never receive mind you) and cheap cartridges then they send a second lot out almost TRIPLE the price of the first lot! We refused to pay for the second lot and told them multiple times to send their courier back to pick them up as we won't be needing them, nor did we want crap cartridges at a over inflated price. They refused and engaged a lawyer and tried to put it through small claims court (wth right for $500?) my boss end up paying just to make them leave her alone (great ...Read more

Big - Repeat, Big! Scammers - using ugly sick america sales methods to rip off decent ozzies
They conned us into buying 1 lot of 3 printer cartridges, then sent us a second lot of 3 and when I queried this second lot by phone I was told I had contracted to buy 2 lots of 3. I accepted the second lot and told their employee, I did not want any more, did not want to deal with radfords again and to delete our name from their records! The person to whom I spoke said they would attend to my instruction. I have just received a third lot. As I have no contract with Radfords I will accept their gift. I will report them to Fair Trading as SCAMMERS and publish this comment on Face book.

Scam warning to all will take this up with today tonight
Never buy from this company complete scam told me I can return cartridges free of charge and are genuine quality but failed to tell me they have a cooling off period can't return my cartridges. Will not be paying for these cartridges. Tried to contact them multiple times but no one was available. Avoid this company like the plague. Will also be putting a claim with consumer affairs and scam watch if this is not resolved.
I will be sticking with my other supplier.

Terrible customer service
I had a lady phone me out of the blue. Took a while to get my business name correct and when I could not hear where she was from clearly and then asked again to confirm she said "Oh my freaking god" and then hung up. As if I would ever use their product with those type of people working there.

Sales people were rude!
If The people selling the product are that rude, imagine what the actual product is like? They don’t identify themselves when they cold call you and when you ask who they are they continue to demand to know who you are, like they are already trying to defend a bad reputation.

Expensive and Bad Quality
Cartridges did not work well at all. Very disappointed. I also had someone try to tell me that I had ordered a further set which I would have to pay for when I didn't. Thankfully they agreed to cancel "my order" so hopefully that happens.

Questions & Answers
Trish6899asked
Has anyone managed to stop Radford Supplies from continually sending & billing these ink products? My friend has been trying to cancel them for ages. She only ordered from them once from a cold-call. Ever since then, they keep sending her products she'll never use. When they ring her, she tries to cancel the order. They say that she has a split order. SHE DOESN'T. They say it'll be the last order. IT ISN'T. They say they'll send a confirmation fax/email. THEY DON'T. They send her paperwork about breaking her contract OR there'll be large fees if she sends their product back to them but they're allowed to continue sending her bills. How is this possible? Can she just ignore them? They now don't have a return address on their parcels or letters so she doesn't know who it's from until she opens it. She never signed anything. She never started a contract. She only ordered 1 set of ink cartridges on the phone. Has anyone sorted this company out so they stop?

Having a similar experience.... best thing is to get onto the Department of Consumer Affairs. That's what they are there for.
They tried same with me..they said try one order..was generic cartridge no different to one half the price they called saying I agreed to full order and that was only half..i said prove it, they cant.... repeat 3 times, ame phone call..Im guessing they were hoping for someone different on the phone....they never sent an order or called after that..if they send without approval refuse if its sent via courier you dont have to accept...if it just arrives dont open and just leave in the corner...they have no right to charge you and if they threaten legal action..tell them to come pick em up at there own cost..they wont pursue as they know on wrong side of the law....full on scammers.
Department of cosumer affairs would best, because it is a breach under the consumer law of Australia to be doing this kind of stuff to people. Apparently when you receive your first order if you do not read the invoice correctly and you just sign for them, in tiny writing there is an agreement or contract stating that you agree to them been sent out every few months. Basically they trick you into buying the first order of inks, them keep sending out more. It's a scam and rip off, also be careful because they change there name every few months and cold call again under a different name, I figured this out few years ago. Do not buy anything over the phone. If you have purchased some, read the invoice before signing for them. Hope this helps in some way.
