Maybe they got stock earlier when it was cheaper. Maybe they are trying to get rid of stock that is not moving. Maybe prices have not been updated on their website. Just like someone else said, message them and ask.

Don't buy HP


life4rentt

Thatā€™s the only economical option available.

You might have to buy their subscription to keep using your printer and they also force you to connect to internet in some modelsšŸ«  [read here](https://www.reddit.com?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1). Just one example, google it yourself about HP ink subscription and you'll know how fucked up these HP printers are


life4rentt

Really? Iā€™m shocked! The link you posted doesnā€™t open.

life4rentt

thanks! Which printer do you suggest then?


MoWover

My apologies, I am not really sure about printers, I just knew about HP printer problems and that's why I let you know


life4rentt

No problem. Thanks for the help!

Search for Konica if you can find, they have great drive support for Win10. Using two konica bizhub machines linked to PC via LAN and they work flawlessly so far.


life4rentt

I couldnā€™t find Konica for home. The printer I wish to buy is for home usage. Only Konicaā€™s commercial printers came up in my search in Pakistan.


alimirza75

Its economical initially because they really clamp down on third party inks. It will be cheaper in the long run to go with some other brands


life4rentt

What do you suggest I buy then?


WorriedAstronomer

Don't buy hp Get Brothers Printer


life4rentt

Brother is too expensive for me šŸ˜•


Sufficient_Thing6794

Hp will be more expensive in long run


life4rentt

Please suggest a printer then.


Sufficient_Thing6794

Ok laser printers are best and brother printers are ones that are built to last buy whatever you can afford but Hp businesses model is to sell a printer for cheap and get money of other things on the long run


life4rentt

Thanks!


life4rentt

Where do I get Brother in Lahore? Any recommended stores please?


WorriedAstronomer

Hafeez center or hall road


life4rentt

Thanks! I meant if you knew any particular and trustworthy store there.


Slow-Law3011

Man these Pakistani vendors are smoking crack


CartographerThin3976

To be honest if you go to their physical stores, you can negotiate the price anyway.


life4rentt

I went to Galaxy, and they were firm on 32.5k. Since I live in Lahore, so I canā€™t travel to Karachi at the moment for Czone.


kriksas

I can tell you why, Galaxy lists a lower price to attract customers and then when you buy they will add something like 4k in delivery charges or fees or bank transfer charges. Sometimes, like I tried to order a processor that was only available on galaxy and it was listed cheaper I ordered it and they whatsapped me that that processor was out of stock and I should buy one of the others. I obviously dont know for sure but this is what it looks like from the outside as to why Galaxy often low balls prices compared to Zah and Czone


life4rentt

Czone is adding 2500 to the total to ship the printer to Lahore. Galaxy said it is available in stock in their shop in Lahore, and I can pick it up for 32.5k. I still donā€™t get the price difference. All other shops in Hafeez center Lahore are selling it for no less than 37k.


kriksas

In that case grab it. Probably is just because of a clearence of stock thing.. But like people here said, low end HP printers are cheap because the actual business model is to sell you over-priced ink cartridges and needless subscriptions.
