“Ordered black and coloured ink. 10 prints in nothing to heavy on the ink and already the ink has run dry. Packaging says 400+ prints. Now I need to fork out for more and end up spending double the amount with what I've wasted buying from here .”

“Ink I was sent was wrong and not compatible with my hp envy 5010 printer. Had to buy another lot, the genuine stuff, for my make and model of printer. I guess the moral of the story is, you should always buy the real thing and check it’s right before throwing away the paperwork.”

Dear Brian, Thank you for your review. I have checked and can confirm that you have ordered the incorrect cartridges. On this occasion you have ordered the 301xl cartridges and your printer takes the 304xl cartridges. I have sent your details on how to return these to us for a refund by email this morning. If you need any further assistance then please let me know. Best Wishes, Stephen, Customer Support

“The wrong ink cartidges were sent despite clear instructions as to what was wanted. It cost me £3 to return the incorrect ones before eventually receiving the correct ones. Not impressed at all at the service !”

Dear Noel, Thank you for your review. I can see that you did place your order yourself on our website and we sent out what was selected. I am very sorry to say you had ordered incorrect but we have refunded you for this order. As you had ordered incorrectly and the items were not faulty this why you would have had to pay the returns postage. I do apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kindest regards, Simon

“I received the wrong ink cartridges and I have emailed Printer Basics customer services 3 times for help. It is now 8 days from my first contact and I am still waiting for a reply. I had to go and re-purchase new cartridges and it has now cost me more money than buying original cartridges from HP. appalling service. Don’t waste your time and money. Buy elsewhere!”

“I ordered 2 cartridges (1 black & 1 colour) for my HP Officejet 4632 printer from Printer Basics. Despite carrying out the instructions and troubleshooting instructions supplied with the colour cartridge; it prints in pink only (despite registering as full on the printer software). The black cartridge refuses to be recognised by the printer - and so I have returned it to a Jersey address supplied with the delivery paperwork. I have to dig deep to find encouragement for a second purchase.”

“Have always previously purchased genuine Canon ink cartridges. Thought I'd try out this cheaper option but, maybe unsurprisingly, proved to be utterly useless. Both reading as empty in the printer and the black not working at all. Leason learned, stick to genuine products.”

“I have ordered from PRINTER BASICS 1item Picture Expert 62XL (CP05AE/C2P07AE) Black& Colour HP Compatible High Capacity Ink Cartridge 4 Pack. It was a pack of four products. They have reimbursed the money for half of the pack and this was for the colour cartridges and I have received just half of the pack that was only the black cartridges. The question is how it is possible to order a pack, receive half of it, and be reimbursed for the other half? I didn't need half of the pack, I needed the whole pack. The order is #PB190529-LV129262 and I want to reimburse the half pack. I wrote to customer service a complaint and I didn't receive any concrete answer. Their answer was that I will receive the whole pack and this never happened. I spoke to the Customer Advice Service and their advice was that if I have no answer from the company within 14 days to complain further.”
