I couldn’t verify live Chicagoland inventory right now, but Brother’s dealer locator is the best starting point for authorized sellers, and the FAX-2840/HL-2840 line appears to be end-of-life, so new stock may be limited.

Likely places to check

  • Staples, which has carried the Brother IntelliFax-2840 online.
  • Walmart Business, which has listed the IntelliFax-2840.
  • Authorized Brother dealers through Brother’s dealer locator.

What to expect

  • The model is older and may be discontinued, so availability can shift fast.
  • If you need it immediately, refurbished or reseller listings may be more realistic than big-box retail.

Fastest way to confirm

  1. Use Brother’s dealer locator to find nearby authorized stores.
  1. Call stores and ask specifically for “Brother HL-2840” or “Brother FAX-2840,” since listings sometimes use either naming convention.
  1. Ask whether they have new, open-box, or refurbished stock.

In Chicago terms

A practical search would be Staples locations in the Chicago area, office- supply dealers, and local printer/fax resellers, because those are the most likely channels for an older Brother laser fax/printer model.

If you want, I can narrow this down to specific Chicagoland stores and online listings that are most likely to ship locally.
