Advantages: Cheap, Fast

Disadvantages: Snail Mail

I have been using this on-line supplier for my ink cartridges for about 18 months and have not had any problems whatsoever. I have ordered about 3 or 4 times from them and each visit has seen me conclude my order within a couple of minutes.

As soon as you visit the homepage you are asked to type in the make and model of your printer and you will be presented with a choice of different kinds of products available. If your printer is not found you can search by manufacturer to find it, or another printer which is compatible.

The site is very clear with no clutter and a nice colour scheme, especially if you like blue - one Dooyooser in particular should like that!

One handy little feature is that they download a cookie (think it's a cookie) which remembers details like your printer model last time you visited their page. This speeds up the process for future visits.

As well as cartridges they sell cleaners, fax refills, ribbons and toner for laser printers too. The list of makes and models of printers is massive, 16 different manufacturers and dozens of models.

I recommend buying a few cartridges at a time, they are much cheaper if you go for a few rather than individual items. For example for my Epson Stylus 460 it would be £3.50 for a black cartridge and £5.99 for a colour one (they are at least £10 if you buy the official ones from a shop) but I choose 2 black and 1 colour for £11.99 a bargain or what! Seriously if anyone knows a cheaper supplier please leave a comment, I can't imagine there is anywhere much cheaper.

Of course you can pay with credit cards, they have a secure server so needn't be worried about giving your card details. A little tip is you can be sure the server is secure because the address will start https just in case yoou didn't know.

The site is quick and reasonably well laid out, nothing flashy but I often find this is better as flashy sites tend to be slow and
don't load properly more often than not.

Delivery of goods is super quick, usually next working day and as far as I know delivery is free. There may be a charge for smaller orders, but I always got for the pack of 3 so to speak and that has always been free. I can't see anything on the site about a delivery charge.

They have a returns policy which seems excellent, but I can't comment on this as all the cartridges I have bought have been fine, no trouble whatsoever installing them and the quality of print is identical to the branded cartridges I got when the printer was new.

Hopefully this review may help someone out there and save you a few sheckles! Sorry if the title was a tad misleading, you will save money here but I was trying to think of a clever title along the lines of KC and the Sunshine band!
