Fantastic experience by phone with the support team based in Harrogate, at Cartridge World. Having not needed a printer for many, many years, I found myself somewhat out of the loop with the cur... See more

Again 5/5 incredible service and lighting fast shipping/delivery, brought the same cartridge which is far better value for money than the official toner prices, one cart of extra ink lasted me nearly a whole year with light use so thanks, will order again.

edit: they even threw in a teabag in a sealed envelope which i appricate lol.

Don't deserve 1 star

Don't deserve 1 star. Bought a supposedly compatible cartridge to go in my HP printer. It is not compatible at all an caused my printer to malfunction. After going back and forth several times with a bloke called Goven, answering his many pointless questions, I gave up trying to solve the issue and will not ever buy from this company again. They sell dodgy cartridges from China that wreck your printer, Not worth it, avoid this company.

Reply from Cartridge World

Thank you C for your comments. We are more than happy to try and resolve this for you but you did not reply to our last email. Before we can help we do need some questions answering.

Which printer model do you have?
What does the error message on your laptop/PC say?
Do the lights blink fast or slow? We provided a link to HP support page which references the different error states and how they can be idenitfied by the flashing lights.

We can supply a replacement cartridge or arrange a return for a refund if the cartridge is faulty. Please get back in touch and we can help further.

Regards
GAVIN

Poor Quality Paper

This is my second time ordering own-brand products from Cartridge World and the second time I have been disappointed. This time I tried two different weights of their photo paper and the results are disappointing, to say the least. Streaky output and the ink rubs off with the slightest touch. I ordered two lots of original Canon paper from them at the same time (same paperweight) and the results with this are fine which rules out the printer being at fault.
Will still buy from them but will stick to the manufacturers consumables going forward.

BUYERS BEWARE:

BUYERS BEWARE:

I purchased a pattern toner cartridge from this company in June. When it arrived it was a few days before I got around to installing it. When I did my Laser Printer would not recognise the cartridge the Cartridge World had supplied. I then refitted the old cartridge which was genuine and the printer recognised it.

I then phoned them and outlined the issue I was having, the female staff member was having trouble understanding the issue and suggested that she get their technical people to call back within the hour to resolve the issue as it may be that there were other buttons on the printer that needed to be pressed to get my printer to recognise their pattern cartridge.

Well the hour came and went so I called her back the next morning, she didn’t remember speaking to me or that she was getting technical to call me, I explained that I had decided to return the the cartridge they had supplied for a refund. This is when the real issues started as it was clear they didn’t want to give money back. It took two weeks to get a returns form from them, when I did I sent it back the same day tracked. After about a week I noticed they had not refunded my £ 59.99 !. I had to then take other action to induce them to issue the refund and in all its taken about two months to get my money out of them.

Customer service is non existent as when you speak to them they are diversionary and will have you going through hoops. My advise is to steer well clear and try somewhere else, lastly there cartridges are expensive compared to their competition so on both counts avoid this lot.

False economy??

Purchased HP cartridges which, at first, didnt work. Error message “non genuine cartridge”. CW tech sent me a You Tube link with a hack and this worked. However, I now have to do this every time I print as the printer keeps locking. Additionally, after about 30 pages the quality is already reducing.
False economy in my opinion.

Ordered a cartridge from CW

Ordered a cartridge from CW; they despatched it promptly. Unfortunately, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and the courier, DHL, gave abysmally poor service - claiming the parcel was "refused". That is utter rubbish. There are only two people here, and neither of us had refused it. CW again were prompt: with apology and prompt refund (we then purchased item from local CW store). The courier then, despite having posted that parcel was on its way back to CW..... delivered it to US!! CW then brought THIS to a action to a very satisfactory conclusion.
