07:48 PM zhanx: I was like OK its a toner pump for a ricoh mcp 2800, they are all the same. why do i have a fuser ?
07:50 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, they buy in bulk on contract and want to save money on part mark up if i order it

08:09 PM rue_mohr: I'm resorted to trying to even out the customer anger
08:09 PM zhanx: that sucks
08:09 PM rue_mohr: yup
08:09 PM zhanx: only reason I got this job was the guy who normally did it got a dui and canada hates that

08:11 PM zhanx: yep in the same boat, its why I ordered from amazon on the parts for the printer
08:12 PM rue_mohr: if I'm gonna reocder anything else, it'd be the coloured zip ties (not white or black)

08:16 PM zhanx: not their job right?
08:16 PM rue_mohr: canada post is complaining that the international rates are too low and that they dont get enough say to raise them enough
08:17 PM rue_mohr: what that tell me, is that canada post is so bloated that they cant hit a reasonable operating cost
