Hello all

can anyone recommend a cheap and reliable site for ordering printer cartridges...specifically the epson photo 790 (colour and black). thankee

Simon recommends Cartex and I've placed an order with them myself. If you buy 3, your cartridges are £1.99 each Dave.

Thanks Clive, that looks to be just what i'm after

Simon · « **Reply #3 on:** March 31, 2005, 20:35 »

I second that recommendation, Dave. I have been using them for three years, without any glitches. That said, of course, they will now go bust!

Mine turned up today after ordering them on Tuesday. There are no use by dates on them.

Clive would you say 4 days between ordering and receipt is about right then ?? Just that i went to a different site as i couldnt find the ones i wanted on yours. I'm still waiting (impatiently) 5 days and counting. They guarantee dispatch within 24 hours and 1st class delivery so the goods should be here by now (ordered last thursday). oh and the site is abitech-ink.co.uk
:roll:

Did they send you an e-mail confirmation of the order Dave? Sometimes you can track your order too. If you don't hear within a few days it may be worth sending them an e-mail.

Yes i got the confirmation immediately Clive. i have e-mailed them expecting a resounding silence, but someone replied within 10 minutes much to my amazement. They say the cartridges were posted on Friday...looks like the muppets at royal mail have lost them...GRRRRRR they have promised some more so fingers crossed. :x

hypocrisy I say:::: I will let you know that I have had the most intensive training and I'm dedicated to making our Postal service one to be envious of, In particular Royal mail staff at the Nottingham mail Centre are to be cloned into the same egotistical bigoted postie as I am. However I will allow some tolerance in area due to the lack of understanding regarding how the Royal mail has evolved recent achievemover the past few years although a particular man who lives in the Bury St Edmonds area look out. You all believe that our standards have fallen. Believe me we are trying to rectify this darkened blot on our recent performance. So could i please ask to give your local postie to full support and if you do encounter any problems contact your local delivery office or Royal mail customer services.

Hi tony, I have some ink here you might want - cx3200 5 colour 4 b/w by "Im jet". I no longer need them as my printer has died on me, but is all working apart from no printer head any offers for spares lol
