    Thanks but they are expensive £5.95 for a Epson R300 when you can get a similar one for less than a £1 at many media sites Even with the £5 off you have to pay to send it and back so its still cheaper at other sites.

    I give you a thanks anyhow as I know you had the best intentions. Keep posting ;)

    I'm looking for ink for a Dell 720, and I'm thinking to try and refill... However, even though these guys are pricier for it (and I think other places might recycle and pay you...?) with the 2 lots of £5 off (each cartridge) plus the quidco cashback it might not be such a discrepancy for some of us, Poppycat!

    I don't buy any ink from them but i do send lots of carts for recycling & cash!

    Although the money goes stright to our local school theres nothing stopping any individual doing it for personal gain - especially if you work in an office that bins them.

    the rates they offer per cart are the best i have found - i would love to know anyone who offers better! more money for the school.

    We collect in school and raise about £100 a year.

    The only negative point is they take a month or two to pay out.
  • this comapny offer good price for cartrdiges

    You cannot get a "real" Epson inkcartridge for £1. You must be advising people to buy copies?
