Whether you are an SME or a large enterprise business, buying a new piece of office equipment is a big decision. A new MFP, copier or mailing system can cost thousands of dollars and cause serious headaches if it doesn’t work as expected. Who you choose to buy from and who you trust to service your new investment is arguably more important than what brand of equipment you decide to purchase.
At Office Interiors we understand that when making such an important decision you may want to get a second opinion; that’s why we put together this list of the top office equipment dealers in Nova Scotia.
To keep this list impartial, I have not included Office Interiors.

Tips for Choosing the Right Dealer
Any of the dealerships on this list are worthy of your consideration; they have all stood the test of time, offer a wide breadth of line, and tout experienced service teams. Ultimately what you need to ask yourself is which dealer you trust to deliver on their promises, keep your devices running and is the best fit for your organization.
In our recent blog post on Whether to Buy from a Dealer or Direct from the Manufacturer, we broke down some of the ways you can compare dealers. In case you don’t want to read the full list, here are a couple of the most important points:
- Do they survey their customers and use a third-party to calculate their Net Promoter Score?
- Are they members in industry performance benchmarking groups?
- Can their service team offer adequate coverage and response times to your location?
