xyzprinting UK repair company #Repairtech, Most polite worst service ever…
Here is a story about the service received from #repairtech UK who is the repair centre for xyzprinting, the suppliers of the Da Vinci 3d Printer range. On about the 16th march 2016 my Da Vinci Duo started miss printing on the X axis. I contacted Repairtech (repairtech) to arrange a repair under the warranty and they promptly collected the printer on the 18th of March, now bearing in mind that the only issue was the X axis print quality ( links not allowed for pictures ) and other than that my printer was in mint condition (links not allowed for pictures). They informed me that my printer would take around 7 working days to repair but as this was just before the start of the Easter holiday I didn’t expect my printer to be returned quickly. I then decided that as I had customer orders waiting I needed to buy a second Da Vinci so that I could continue my work. I received a SMS that my printer would be delivered back to me by DPD courier service on 8th April 2016, and yes it arrived. I unboxed my printer only to find all the panels cracked broken or scratched and the whole machine wobbled as if it had been thrown around the delivery room (links not allowed for pictures). I quickly contacted Repairtech to inform them of the condition of my machine, they were very apologetic and arrange for the printer to be collected again, and that was on 11th April 2016, I thought I would mention to the DPD driver about the condition of the machine when they delivered it, and this was his response (if there is no fragile labels on the box, then it not their fault if it gets damage in transit). Well this whole event was very disappointing but I took on the chin, just because things happens that we have no control over. So on the 18th of April my Da Vinci Duo 3d printer got delivered back to me, I unboxed it and great all new panels and not a scratch just the way I sent it out in the first place, now time it was time to get printing (links not allowed for pictures) but sadly the print looked rubbish nothing like the way it should print I emailed some print pictures to Repairtech and they agreed to collect the Printer again to fix the issue. The printer was collected again on the 21st April 2016. I got a call from Repairtech a few days later and they said that there was nothing wrong with the printer and they would be sending it back, I told Repairtech that the printer was not up to scratch and they said they would look at it again. So another SMS saying that my Da Vinci 3d printer would be delivered back on the 5th May 2016, and it was. So once again I unboxed my machine only to find that my Y Axis Steel bars were bent the carriage was off the bearings, just a mess (links not allowed for pictures). I could not believe what I was seeing, of course by now it was just a joke and I was left speechless. I contacted Repairtech once again and again they apologised and arranged for the 3d Printer to be collected on the 6th May 2016. It is now 1st July 2016 (about 55 days including weekends) and I still do not have my Printer back. I have called Repairtech many times only to be told that they are waiting for parts (I suppose they are coming from mars as it is taking so long, does DPD courier not deliver from there?). I have asked that the Owner/Director of Repairtech contact me, but they obviously do not think that their customers are important enough to bother with, as most company directors do. I wanted this write this as a scathing article about the company Repairtech and the circumstances of this whole service claim, I must just add a side note. The Ladies that I have been talking to and or dealing with have been friendly, polite, professional and helpful. But as you know the buck stops at the TOP. So what to do next?

I ended up sending this by email to a few support emails of XYZ, and they sent me 2 cartridges as compensation, and my printer arrived yesterday, but I am to scared to take it out the box.... and guess what I took it out the box.. and yes its broken again..
