In late 2024, my apartment building replaced their free printer/scanner with a Tulu printer which requires residents to both buy an annual or monthly subscription and pay for every page printed.FedEx's printers weren't working, so I bought a Tulu membership to use their printer, despite being annoyed that the printer was no longer free. The Tulu printer would not turn on. I contacted support who responded promptly and kindly. They had me troubleshoot the printer on my own (e.g. did you try turning it on and off?). After a bit, I had enough and asked for a refund since I needed a reliable printer and obviously this wasn't it. They refunded me for the print job, but would not refund the subscription.I had just bought the subscription a few minutes earlier for the sole purpose of using the printer that day. The fact that the support rep and even their manager would not refund me for a subscription that I couldn't use due to their own error is a poor business practice. I contested the fee through my credit card company and received the money back through their process. From this experience, I've acquired a deep distain for Tulu. I do not like that Tulu requires you to pay for a subscription and each print job to use their completely average, unreliable printer. I do not like that their support team cannot refund someone who was not able to use their service as advertised. I would be happy to see Tulu removed from my building.
