If you need to return your order, we’ll give you a full refund and not fuss over details.

We champion high-quality products but we know price is important too. All our original cartridges are covered by our low price promise so if you place an order with us and within seven days find the same product online cheaper elsewhere, we’ll refund the difference. What’s more, we offer free next-day delivery on all orders so you can make sure you never miss a deadline again.

We pride ourselves on how we deal with customers and are just a phone call away on 07708 014676. During office hours, we answer calls straight away and get back to you when we say we will.
