I also had a bad experience with the refurbished cartridges. I actually sent them back as defective and they replaced them with new (refurbished) They were the same. The red color is a salmon color.

My printer is a dell and I will only buy original dell cartirdges from now on. I intend to use these cartridges until they are gone, ( i bought 4), but after that I will only use dell

Walgreen’s can refill your black cartridge for $10. Right now I believe it’s half off, which makes it $5. And it works great – you take it in, you can wait (around 5 to 10 minutes) and it’s ready and done!

Don’t forget that you can shop at eBay through MyPoints and earn extra points that way :)

I never even thought of checking out eBay for print cartridges. I’ve used the 123inkjets.com before and liked it but usually I am doing emergency runs to buy ink because I always run out before I have time to purchase it for cheap online. Has anyone done the refill places where you bring in your empty cartridges and they fill them for you?

@ Eden

I bought from an eBay store. The seller has a regular store web site, and also sells stuff on eBay. I feel fairly confident that I’m getting a good product. Hope so, anyway!

I’d be hesitant to buy ink on Ebay- how would you know you are getting full ink cartridges? Hopefully you have found a good seller and all goes well. I really hate spending money on ink cartridges so I’d love to find a good place to buy it too.

Thanks for the tips Kacie! Our color cartridge hasn't been working for several months now (I thought it was just out of ink but after getting it filled I found out it was done for). We haven't gotten a new one because I can't bring myself to pay all that money for a new one in the stores. I'll definitely be shopping around online and on ebay for a new cartridge.Becky's last blog post..Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy

Good! I’m glad you haven’t had a problem with them in the past. I’m sure the prob is with my printer recognizing it, but if they’re going to sell ink cartridges specifically for my printer, they should really make sure they’re compatible! Ugh.

Unfortunately, the biggest complaint about 123InkJets I’ve read in reviews is that it’s impossible to get a hold of them when you want to take advantage of their 1-year warranty. I’m not giving up yet, but I’m thinking my chances for a refund are slim.

Ugh, I’m so sorry you had a bad experience with your ink! That’s such a pain.

I have a refurbished cartridge in right now (the black one) and the color one was purchased new.

I haven’t had trouble with the refurb one, luckily. I hope that’s how it stays!

Hope you can get a hold of someone at 123injkets. That’s such lousy customer service for them to not respond.
