Always had great service from Cartridgemonkey.com. They're super helpful on chat when I've bought the wrong item or broken my printer! They have been excellent and efficient and it's so easy to buy the right product. Will always shop with them! Good prices too

I ordered ink from cartridge monkey a few months ago. It took a while for me to use up my existing ink so a little delay to find the colour of the new inks got rejected by my printer. I contacted them and they sent out a replacement which also got rejected. I let them know again and on the 3rd try everything seems ok.

So why 5*s after issues ? I think sometimes it's just as well to judge a company when things go wrong as much as right. After each email they were quick to respond and recommended a couple of things that may help but when they didn't work they were quick to replace the inks a couple of times to get things sorted.

Dreadful customer service

UPDATE: AFTER RECEIVING A REPSONSE WITH A GENEROUS OFFER OF A DISCOUNT ON MY NEXT ORDER - I REACHED OUT TO THEM. GENEROUS IS NOT A WORD I WOULD USE IN THIS CONTEXT - 5% OFF MY NEXT ORDER. DON'T BOTHER!!!!!
A word of advice when entering your printer details in order to purchase ink cartridges. Double check the cartridges as mine were not correct when they arrived. I sadly opened the packet to install one and realised it didn’t fit. When contacting the dreadful customer service team I was met with an abrupt and rude response. I was told that it was my own mistake and that they would not offer a refund or replacement and I would be best selling them online. Not particularly helpful at all. I personally will not use this company again and have now instructed that our company doesn’t order from them. Most unhelpful and rude. A quick course in customer care skills would not go amiss!

Hello Anthony, thank you for taking time to leave a review. We are very sorry you feel this way; unfortunately, as advised in our return’s terms and conditions, we are unable to accept back items which have been opened.

Again, I'm truly sorry we were not in a position to raise the return. We understand these things do happen and as a good will gesture we offered a discount to offset the cost of the correct cartridges. If you still wish to use this please get in touch with us and we will apply this to your next order.

Thank you

Ordered a black cartridge on 11 June and still waiting for it. I keep being given new delivery dates (first one in August, next in September, then in October) and still the cartridge has not arrived. Customer Service is very poor - no apology or proposals to remedy the situation or refund. Just keep blaming their suppliers, which really isn’t my concern - if they couldn’t get the cartridges in then they shouldn’t be offering them for sale.

Exactly the same bad experience where I paid for goods and I've heard nothing. I regularly receive emails promoting other ink when I've not received my original order. My son like others has been unable to produce his homework and when you enquire its the same story. If you don't have the goods you should never take payment in the first instance

Order placed in 15th May now two months later no item yet

Order placed on 15th May and still waiting for my order to arrive. This has so far affected my son’s home study by faithfully and being considerate of waiting due to Covid-19. Have emailed today to request for refund. Very disappointing service

Hi Louis,

Thank you for taking the time out to leave us a review.

I'm really sorry we dont have the item instock. I understand that you desperately need it and I'm sorry its affected your sons study. We have been experiencing a high demand for ink since lockdown, due to manufacturing slowed in other countries, its massively impacted stock for certain popular lines.

We are currently seeing stock slowly returning to normal and I know when you next need inks you will not have the same problem.

I really hope you will consider us next time. If you would like to discuss this more with me please feel free to call me on 0345 365 3605 I would really like to hear from you.

Thank you

Avoid

I ordered cartridges around two months ago didn't received it yet, many times email them to find out what's happening in this company!
Usually when some items are out of stock companies dose not debit account! now after 2 month I don't have my order and I don't have my refund
This is pain on the ass

Hello,

Thank you for your review. I'm really sorry the item you need is out of stock.

Due to the global pandemic and manufacturing being delayed it has had a significant effect of stock with popular line. Stock has slowly improved we hope we will be in a position to send out your item soon.

You are required to purchase the item in order to hold a back order with us. We allow customers the opportunity to pre order the stock as we found when ever they did become in stock they would sell out immediately and a lot of customers missed out.

Again, I am sorry for the delays. Please remember you welcome to call us on 0345 365 3605 we would be more than happy to provide you with an update.

Thank you

Lou

Hello Patricia,

Thank you for your feed back, I'm so sorry your order arrived so late. Sadly the item you purchased was out stock. Since lockdown there has been a huge demand for ink, due to a slow in production due to the global pandemic manufactures are struggling keeping up with demand.

We are working extremely hard to ensure all our customers orders arrive as soon as possible. Please always remember you are welcome to contact the customer care team and we would be more than happy to provide you an update.

Again I am sorry for any trouble this has caused.

Thank you

Lou

Thank you Lou

Thank you to Lou for quickly sorting out my problem. I thought I'd ordered an XL size ink cartridge as was going by the photo next to the description but when ink came it was standard size - I had only been charged for standard though. Lou was most helpful and could see how the error had been made by a misleading photograph. She was pleased I'd pointed this out and I'm pleased too to have received a voucher for next time. Thank you Lou. Stay safe!

Customer service is an absolute joke

Customer service is an absolute joke. No wonder they don’t allow reviews on their Facebook page.
I’ve been using them for about 10 years and called today about an issue with an order... their recorded message goes on about high standards of customer service and being connected to a happy customer service advisor but wow... that’s an over promise.
I was sent the wrong cartridge (out of a big order, not just one item) and the ‘happy advisor’ was so rude!!! He repeatedly told me it would fit the printer (i know it won’t) but also told me that if I open it, it cannot be returned. He got pissy with me because I didn’t want to open the box and when i was irritated told me he’d ‘terminate my call’. I will NEVER use them again. AWFUL.

Hello Debbie

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.

I’m really sorry you had a poor shopping experience with us please let me stress this is not a true reflection on the service we do provide under normal circumstances. Sadly when we first entered lockdown we did not anticipate the mass demand for certain inks and there was a delay.

We took this on board feedback like yours on board and adapted. Currently we are implementing a new system that will help in situations like yours.

I really hope you will consider shopping with us again. Please remember you are always welcome to call us on 0345 365 6666 and we would be more than happy to offer a discount as a good will gesture on your next order.

Thank you

Above and Beyond normal service!!!

I have ordered photo paper and ink cartridges for several years now from Cartridge Monkey and have always had prompt, efficient service at a good price. Recently I ordered 2 Epson ink multipacks plus photo-paper to print off Calendars that my grandchildren had produced. Unfortunately my 7 year old Epson photo printer failed catastrophically and I had to replace it. My new Epson printer required different inks to the old one and I now had 2 unused multipacks of the old ink type. Cartridge Monkey saved the day. A phone call to Stephanie Gregory- a Customer Care Advisor meant that I could post the unused, unopened ink packs back and replace them with ink packs of the correct replacement type. Thank you Stephanie and Thank you Cartidge Monkey. I will keep on using your services because you really do look after your customers!
