What reviewers often mention

🎯

Service quality

Several reviewers name advisors (Chris, Simon, Rachel, Gemma) and say they sorted issues quickly, arranging replacements or credits. Many describe fast phone or email replies, with faults handled by the next day. A small group says replacement promises were not followed through.

💰

Value for money

Many customers point to lower prices for non‑genuine compatible cartridges than with manufacturers or big retailers. Several say the compatibles worked as expected and delivered clear savings. A few ratings reflect frustration driven by product failures rather than the price.

User experience

Reviewers often call the website and ordering process easy. Fast dispatch and next‑day delivery options help most orders run smoothly. Only a handful mention any usability issues.

🔧

Product quality

Most comments describe acceptable print quality, or quick replacements when something arrived faulty. A smaller but noticeable set reports compatibility problems or cartridges stopping after only a few pages. Some also mention physical issues, including toner leaking and needing a replacement.

📞

Communication

Many reviewers describe customer service replies as quick and professional. A minority mention conflicting courier updates about delivery timing, plus one concern about changing an address. Courier problems show up less often than positive contact with the company.

Overall experience

Most reviews combine quick, helpful support with competitive pricing on compatible cartridges. Numerous five‑star service stories sit alongside a smaller number of one‑star complaints about replacements and cartridge failures. Buyers focused on fast help and low cost tend to be happy, while those who hit the noted faults report stronger dissatisfaction.

Lopez 4/5

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

On 7/5/16, I ordered a shipment from Cartridge's shop, however, it was missing two goods.

I was very pleased with Steve's professional and prompt reaction that the situation was handled to my satisfaction.

I was particularly thrilled to receive a phone call to ensure that I was satisfied with how the situation had been handled.

I'm very impressed and will continue to buy from this company.

I received the missing items and they were in perfect condition.

I'll place an order with this company for a profit.

Who doesn't appreciate a company that cares about its customers' satisfaction?

This is the place to be if you do.
