I ordered this online after finding the price in my local stores too outrageous. I ordered it online and got it at my door in just a few days.
It was supposed to be in "Retail Packaging"; however,it was just the plastic wrap around the ink cartridge. and my concern will be for nothing. Nice of them, but not it's as it was stated and it's a hassle to try to do an exchange.
Contacted the seller and got a very nice response that sometimes the product is not in the retail box in order to save space. I haven't had to use it yet, but will have a back-up ready when I do, in case it doesn't work. It was delivered Dec/2009 with a Feb/2010 expiration date.
Would have to ship it back and who knows what I would get next time. Why didn't they state that on the Amazon product page. The email said ink should be good for a year & I could try to exchange it for newer one.
Hopefully, it will. Probably won't order from them again, though.
The ink cartridge works great but beware -- the expiration date was Feb 2010 and I bought it in Nov 2009. That will probably be fine for me but may not be for someone who doesn't print very frequently. Just something to keep in mind.
I am actually excited to be writing this review.I bought my HP 6940 on an amazing on-line special/blowout deal (forty bucks with shipping - brand new) after seeing the replacement cartridge for my older (and worn out) HP printer was MORE than a brand new printer, shipping included.I literally thought I would be better off just buying whatever new printer was on special from whomever at free shipping than ever pay for an HP Ink Cartridge again. it was just a regular shipping bag via US mail and inside was the cartridge in a professionally looking sealed plastic printer ink cartridge. so I can not give any info about how long it will last)I Semi-Randomly chose 'SOPHIA GLOBAL' based on lowest price+shipping and customer rating.After placing the order I got a confirmation including a friendly worded message acknowledging ALL my own personal concerns and phobias (so I gather a lot of people feel the same way).Even better, when I replied 'great confirmation', they actually personally replied back.UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING (I CAN'T IMAGINE), I would recommend trying the option of other sellers and other 'condition' of the products and I stand behind 'SOPHIA GLOBAL' among the sellers from my own personal very happy experience (The others may be the same or not.
POPPED IT IN. Will look to you for all future Ink needs.oh. I was disgusted by the thought of the waste and absurdity of the environmental impact the HP (and all other printer manufacturers) Printer pricing policy whereby they sell their printers at very low prices (with a brand new sent of ink cartridges) knowing once you own their printer, they can charge so much for the replacement Ink Cartridges.Personally, I am VERY PHOBIC OF: 'Reconditioned' 'Recertified' products in general, paying for shipping, as well as on-line retailers who I don't know for sure have a good return policy.Given extensive on-line searching for an HP 96 Black ink cartridge, I was on the verge of just finding another blowout of any printer (I saw some other brand recently for $24.99 with shipping) but checked out the 'Other Sellers' of the same product and the radical difference in price for the ink cartridges from totally unknown sellers who charged shipping and had various 'recertified' 'reconditioned' wording (all my phobias together) I gave it a shot, expecting the worst, and prepared to take the loss of $9 over the ridiculous options of paying for a brand new cartridge at the lowest price with free shipping/and or actually buying the $24 dollar brand new printer.THE CARTRIDGE ARRIVED IN 3 DAYS.
I don't know).THANKS SOPHIA GLOBAL. WORKS FINE. (I am a very light printer user.
it did not arrive in a box as pictured. There was a protective transparent sticker across the print head (just like all brand new ink cartridges) and couldn't be happier (one less box to recycle).
Ink arrieved quickly,was good price and was just what I ordered.Always have good luck with Amazon.
