      Account number: ******* / Serial number: ******** / Ticket number: ******** / Salesperson: Carol P***** / Contract signed on 7/28/23 / Order number: ******* /////// We have been a customer for many years and recently signed a new contract with Quadient. The contract specified that we would be receiving a new meter - which we did. Unfortunately, the meter did not work from day one. We were told on the day we received it that a new machine would be overnighted to us and we have yet to receive it. Now, we are getting letters demanding we return the new unit or pay immediately. We have contacted Quadient numerous times to no avail. We have been told there was a mix-up on Quadients end and they were trying to correct it. Every time we speak with someone, they say they will call back but never do. We have left messages and emailed Carol P***** and have never received a call back. We have also called several departments within Quadient and have gotten no where. We have spoken to a Nicky, Alex, Michelle and Sergio. All we want is to have a postage meter that works. We are at wits end as to how to handle this as no one seems to care enough to respond to our calls/emails.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.   I still find it unacceptable that it took a BBB grievance to receive the assistance we had been trying to get for quite some time - but I’m glad that in the end, Quadient did come through.  We received the new meter today.



      Sincerely,

      Quadient is very pushy when they try to get new or renewal of contracts. When you do renew, that date becomes the new date, thus the higher charge become more recent and they get more money; instead of the renewal coming when the current contract ends Second, since they charge a quarter in advance. If you renew, the amount you paid before is not deducted. This is how they are making money over fists. When you call customer service or billing, they make is seem like your the one in trouble and very rude. You need to be very careful with them.

      Hello ******,

      Please accept my
      apology for your experience and for any confusion that may have occurred when
      you upgraded your equipment.

      We do not charge for
      overlapping billing periods. Your old contract # ****** expired and went into
      auto-renewal status on July 28, 2023. Your new contract # ******* began on
      September 4, 2023. This is the reason you noticed the equipment rental charge
      on the July statement for your postage funding account. – I have credited the
      equipment rental invoice on your July statement in full in the amount of
      $56.63.

      The equipment rental
      charge in the amount of $52.53 on the September statement for your postage
      funding account is for your new contract # *******.

      I am sorry to hear
      of your experience with our Customer Service billing team. We value your
      business and want to ensure all interactions with our Customer Service team
      resolve your concerns and meet or exceed your expectations.

      Please feel free to

      I am rejecting this response because: When you state that you credited the equipment rental on our July Statement for $56,.63, did you mean that you are giving us credit for that amount? or that you applied our payment?  Because I don't see any credit on our account online.

      Hello ******,

      I apologize for any
      confusion that may have occurred.

      The equipment rental
      invoice on your July statement was credited in full in the amount of $56.63.
      This credit is independent of any payments you have made on the account.
      Equipment rental invoice credits may take between 5 - 7 business days to
      process. This credit has processed and posted to your postage funding line of
      credit. You will see the credit reflected on the October statement.

      I have also credited
      the $36.00 Annual Fee for your postage funding line of credit. Please allow 24
      - 48 hours for this credit to process and post to the account.

      Please feel free to
      contact me directly at [email protected] if you have any questions or if you
      need further assistance.

      Contract signed 2/23/2023
      Contract price held until July 15th 2023, Price $39.99/mo for 36 months for a ix-3 series postage meter.
      Prepared by:
      ?Jon A********?
      ?************************?
      ?###-###-#### Ext. *****?
      Quadient, Inc

      We entered into an agreement with Jon in regards to the iX-3 series postage meter, from the beginning Jon was very pushy and did a lot of talking over us, not addressing many of our questions regarding comparing the meters, costs associated and features of the machines. We were switching from pitney bowes and wanted to be sure we were making the correct decision. Starting the last week of May I had reached out to Jon multiple times with zero response, and then again to various staff members that would pass along the message throughout June, we wanted to be sure the meter would arrive by July 1st.
      When July 1st arrived Jon never actually shipped the meter to us, It took multiple attempts to reach him and the staff at Quadient to get a shipping date or tracking number, becuase by this point we no longer were using pitney bowes and had no way to mail our letters out. Our meter arrived July 15th, set up was uneventful other than there was no information on how to actually run the machine, (ie change postage, add postage etc.). Upon trying to set up our myquadient account the website would not allow us to create an account, again having to reach out to Jon or his staff members to get a response. Jon doesnt listen to his customers he consistantly talks over them and does not actually address the issue at hand. We would like to return this meter and not be burdened with the contract we were required to sign before even seeing the machine and/or how it worked. Our IT professional cant even figure out how this machine works, how can my staff that are not computer literate do it? I dont feel that we should have to reach out and wait days for a response for every little thing with this machine.

      I am very sorry to
      hear your experience with us has not been positive. Your feedback is very
      important to us. Our goal is to provide an exceptional experience for each
      customer. I have reached out to the sales manager regarding your experience
      with the sales representative.

      I noticed you also
      mentioned you were having difficulty registering your account on ************** – Your account is registered online. I completed the registration by adding
      your contract details to help you view your invoices and account management options.

      assistance with using the equipment, I would be more than happy to have one of
      our technical support leads call you at a time that is most convenient for you
      to help address any questions you may have.

      I reviewed your
      account and noticed you signed a 36 month rental agreement. The meter activity
      shows postage was successfully downloaded to the machine in July.

      We will reach out to
      you directly to provide further assistance. Please feel free to contact me

      This company has extremely unethical billing practices. Twice in the past, I sent checks for payment well in advance of the due date, and they held the checks and cashed them the day after the due date and charged me late fees. This has led me to no longer be willing to send checks and instead pay online. Last month their online payment was not working, so I spent almost an hour on hold to try and pay by phone, which did not work either. Now this month they are charging me another late fee. I have been trying for months to cancel my service, but they tell me I am under contract. I have requested a signed contact several times, but they will not produce one. I want this latest late fee removed, and I want to cancel my ongoing service so I can work with an honest postage company. Each time I have to reach out to them it is an extensive wait on the phone.

      Business Response

      Date: 08/18/2023

      Hello ****,

      I am very sorry to
      hear of your experience. I have reviewed your account and payment activity to
      determine the reason you incurred late fees on your Quadient Postage Funding
      line of credit.

      Your online portal
      shows the payment for the March and June statements were submitted after the
      due date.

      The March statement was due
      by 04/27/2023. The online payment was made on 05/11/2023.
      The June statement was due by
      07/27/2023. The online payment was made on 08/08/2023.

      I have credited the
      late fee and finance charge on the August statement as a courtesy.

      07/27/2023 $39.00 Late Fee
      (*Credited)
      07/30/2023 $0.96 Finance
      Charge (*Credited)

      The Quadient Postage Funding line of
      credit is an optional funding method that is subject to late fees and finance
      charges if the balance is not paid in full by the due date. We do offer ACH
      direct debit and prepaid postage funding options that are not subject to late
      fees or finance charges.

      I have attached a
      copy of your rental contract. The initial contract term was from October 25,
      2017 - April 24, 2021. Your rental contract is currently in auto-renewal status
      and will continue to renew on quarter-to-quarter basis as outlined in the terms
      and conditions of the contract.

      We value your
      business and are sorry to hear you have decided to cancel your contract. I have
      provided your contact information to our cancellation team so they can help you
      with your cancellation request.

      Please feel free to
      contact me directly at [email protected] if you have any questions.

      Despite 10 phone calls and multiple emails, this company has failed and refused to send us any instructions or mailing labels for returning their machine. We cancelled the contact exactly in accordance with their onerous cancellation procedure. It has now been two weeks, and as we explained to them, we have to vacate our office by August 1st because our landlord is tearing down his building. Very, very, very frustrated!!!

      We have been trying to cancel our account with Quadient since last year, and now they're trying to charge us 314.48 cents to cancel our account with them. I've contacted their support as well and we would appreciate it if our account with them was closed with no further payment.

      Hello *****,

      I apologize for your
      frustration and for your experience during the cancellation process.

      I noticed your
      complaint indicates you have been trying to cancel your account since last
      year. I reviewed the attachment you submitted with your complaint showing the
      communication with Alexis on March 17, 2023. I was provided a copy of her
      response letting you know that you would need to call our Customer
      Service/Cancellations team to start the cancellation. Your written cancellation
      request was received on May 17, 2023.

      The termination
      quote you were provided is related to an open rental invoice. I will reach out
      to you directly to assist with a credit so we can expedite the cancellation for
      you. Once processed, you will receive return instructions via email with a link
      to generate a return label.

      You can also contact
      me directly at ****************** if you have any questions.

      We have a postage machine from Quadient. It has not worked for 10 months.
      At no time have they offered to fix the issue, or even ask what is not working.
      We asked to end the contract and were told there are termination fees. The fees are almost triple the amount due for the duration of the contract.
      We offered settlement equal to the duration of the contract. We were told we would receive a 'postage credit' in the amount of 850.00 which makes no sense, as the machine is inoperable. The fees are still almost double the contract duration amount.
      We simply wanted to resolve this matter, return the machine and source service that actually works.
      We are hopeful to receive assistance from the BBB to settle this.

      I apologize for your
      frustration. I have reviewed your account and the details of your complaint.

      You have not been
      able to use the equipment because the postage account is currently disabled due
      to non-payment of Quadient Leasing invoices. The postage account was disabled
      on June 30, 2022. At that time, there were two open invoices 60-90 days past due.

      Invoice ******** Due by
      January 14, 2022 [Payment Received July 20, 2022]
      Invoice ******** Due by March
      24, 2022 [Payment Received July 20, 2022]

      Currently, the
      following Quadient Leasing invoices are still past due. These invoices will
      need to be paid before the postage account can be enabled.

      Invoice ******** Due by
      September 24, 2022 [No Payment Received]
      Invoice ******** Due by
      December 24, 2022 [No Payment Received]
      Invoice ******** Due by March
      24, 2023 [No Payment Received]

      Coast Pavement
      Services signed a 63 month lease agreement with a contract term from March 24,
      2020 – June 23, 2025. The contract terms and conditions specify the lease is
      non-cancelable during the term mutually agreed upon in the signed contract. The
      early termination quote you received is the amount Quadient Leasing is willing
      to accept to release Coast Pavement Services from the non-cancelable agreement.

      You have a credit in
      the amount of $850.85 on your Quadient Finance account (for postage funding)
      due to an overpayment on October 24, 2022. Quadient Finance USA and Quadient
      Leasing USA are two separate entities. At your request, we can help you initiate
      a transfer from Quadient Finance USA to Quadient Leasing USA to cover the past
      due balance on your lease.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have been contacted by someone named Pam A***** who is stating a completely different response regarding the account.

      The payment issue Kim stated was resolved long ago, due to misapplication on Quadient's part.

      According to Pam there is actually a credit on the postage account which directly the opposite of the response supplied by Kim.

      We simply want to be done with the less than above board practices of this company, which are evident from the response by the Quadient representative's reply.

      the amount of $850.85 on your Quadient Finance account (for postage funding)
      due to an overpayment on October 24, 2022.

      You have a past due
      balance on your Quadient Leasing account for three past due leasing invoices.

      Quadient Finance USA
      and Quadient Leasing USA are two separate entities. At your request, we can
      help you initiate a transfer from Quadient Finance USA to Quadient Leasing USA
      to cover the past due balance on your lease.

      Currently, the
      following Quadient Leasing invoices are still past due.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      Again, this is COMPLETLY different than what I was told yesterday.

      I was told there is ZERO balance due and that I am being sent packaging - at ZERO charge to us -  to return the non working equipment (NOT due to lack of postage) not that anyone from Quadient ever followed up on repair requests.

      I will accept NOTHING less than what I was told yesterday.  ZERO monies owed on our behalf and return of useless equipment at NO CHARGE to us.



      Sincerely,



      ***** *******

      ***** ******

      Your account is not
      reflecting a zero dollar balance. No payment has been received on your last
      three quarterly leasing invoices.

      I reviewed the meter
      status. It is functioning normally. You are unable to use the equipment because
      the meter was disabled by our collections team due to the delinquency on the
      lease.

      The collections
      representative you have been communicating with will reach out to you this week
      with a settlement offer that will need to be signed to use the $850.85 credit
      you have sitting on the postage funding account to settle the lease.

      We do not provide
      packing materials. Once the cancellation has been processed, return
      instructions are sent via email with a link to generate a return shipping
      label.

      If you have any questions, please feel free
      to contact me directly at ******************

      We have contacted this company who was originally ******* but was bought out. We have one of their machines that has not worked within two years. NO one renewed the contract yet they are charging us for equipment that does not work nor needed. They will not take calls and ignore emails and wont send anyone to pick up their equipment. At this point it seems like a scam corporation since the change or ownership.

      Hello *****,

      I apologize for your
      frustration. I have reviewed your account and the details of your complaint.

      NHP Foundation
      signed a 63 month lease contract. The contract term is from January 18, 2018 –
      April 17, 2023. There was not a renewal because the contract is still within
      its initial term. I have attached a copy of the lease contract and the contact
      terms and conditions for your convenience.

      I confirmed the
      postage machine is functioning normally. You have not been able to use the
      equipment because the postage account is currently disabled due to a returned ACH
      that was not repaid.

      On 12/28/2021, the postage
      account was disabled due to non-payment of a past due balance.
      On 01/08/2022, the postage
      account was disabled again due to a returned ACH. Quadient has sent three ACH return
      letters with no response.

      There are currently
      three past due invoices on lease *********.

      Invoice ******** [$220.34 Due
      by 18-Oct-2022]
      Invoice ******** [$74.74 Due
      by 01-Nov-2022]
      Invoice ******** [$220.34 Due
      by 18-Jan-2023]

      We leased a mailing machine in March of 2022. In February of 2023 the meter stopped functioning properly. I contacted the customer service help option online and spent two hours doing multiple things to try and fix the issue I was having. Then I spent about 45 minutes on the phone trying some of the same things and some different things to be told that the machine needed to be replaced. Then the lady instructed me that the machine I have is no longer in stock so I will need a new machine. They informed me that someone from the sales team will reach out to me. I waited two days and did not receive a call so I called. I was desperate and needed to mail items out. So the representative Alexis sent me over a new contract which I though was odd since I had only had my current machine for less than a year. However this contract was more money than I agreed to initially. I emailed Alexis back and said I wanted to hold off and just wanted to mail the broken machine back, there was no response. The following week I received a request to sign the contract again. So I called Quadient again and explained that I was not happy with the customer service and I really just want to mail their broken machine back to them. They were unable to fulfil there contract and replace the machine as is written in their contract so I just want to mail it back. They told me I would need to wait from someone from the termination team to contact me. I received an email by the next day asking me to pay a termination fee of $300 something dollars. So I called the company and was told by Pam that since I was terminating my contract I would have to pay for the remaining lease and no label would be sent to mail the machine back until the end of the lease. They had multiple chances to fix this issue but never attempted to right the wrong. I couldn't even a call back. I do not wish to do business like this. I can not believe the ** ****** ******* has this company on their website as a reputable company.
