I ordered some ink cartridges from CA. I have paid all outstanding invoices.
I told them in December that I did not want anymore cartridges. They are now calling in March stating that 12dz are ready. I told them that I did not want them,they said fine that I would have to pay a $5700.00 restocking fee. I did not sign a contract for any cartridges or anything else from this company. can they really come after me for restocking fees. Do I have the right to say I do not want to purchace anything more from them.
thank you, rabbitgirl

Did you send your cancellation request in writing? Was there supposed to be a reoccuring order on the cartridges?
Short answer is that they will have a hard time collecting from you if there is not a written agreement that says you will pay them for the product.

You didn't sign a contract, but did you have anything in writing for the previous order that would indicate future orders?
Look under the Legal Guides on this site. Contracts/Business. It explains that the Statute of Frauds requires this type of sale to be in writing.
If they don't have it in writing, tell them to go pound sand!
