I have been a member of the HP site for years and never thought about getting my ink cartidges from their site. I always bought them at a store near me. Well last night I decided to check out their site for prices etc. I was stunned. They were actually cheaper than most stores. Olus they offered next bussiness day delivery free of charge. Now i ordered them about 6 p.m. my time and figured next bussiness day meant they'd file the order today (Friday) then ship it Monday. I was stunned when FedEx knocked this morning with my ink cartidges. Do you shop online comparing oprices at all? Do you own a HP product at all? What if anything do you order from an online store regulary?

That is incredibly fast I'd say. I have never ordered online but I'm sure Canada must offer the same service. I can't see it being that fast but one never knows??? I have an HP 3-1 printer and i love it. It takes a 93 and 94 cartridge. The cost is about 40.00 each here at staples. Thank You for the tip, I'm going to see if I can access the site here.

I have a 3 in one HP as well and use 92 and 93 cratidges. Or the photo cartridge ever so often. They run like $45 most places for them here but HP was $31.45 total I think.

wow, you sure did get good service, lightning fast. I am the same as you, I would have planned on monday for delivery. We don't use the printer that often and right now I couldn't even tell you what brand it is but we just get our ink from Wal Mart. The printer I used to have the ink was very expensive but the one we have now is cheap. I don't shop at online stores on a regularly.

Funny I use HP ink as well, and never thought to purchase directly from their website...I just stocked up on ink myself but ordered online from OfficeWorld...no tax, free shipping on orders over $49.00...thought I got a bargain with the prices there. Will have to check to see if it's actually cheaper at the HP website. You get any order from OfficeWorld relatively fast too. Mmm..let me hunt the HP site see if it's cheaper

Okay. I prefer to get mine right from the same company as my printer though.
HP is free shipping on any printer supplies, paper, ink, toner, photo paper etc.

Wow, that's great pricing and wonderful service! I should probably check out the Kodak site for ink cartridges, they may be cheaper there.
I buy online whenever I can. Mainly dog treats, bully sticks to be precise.

That is a wonderful idea, and I will have to check it out. We order products like vitamins that we take, but never thought that I would find competitive prices on computer and office supplies.

Hi GRANDPA BOB! yes, I have an HP printer and of course use HP ink. But we do not order our HP products online since it will cost a lot if we do due to international shipping. It will be a lot cheaper if I just buy them from Hp outlets here in our area.
Take care always..God Bless!

Isn't it amazing the differences in prices that you can find if you shop around?
I actually gave up my printer last time I moved the computer. The cartridges were costing loads and most of the stuff I was printing I discovered that I didn't really need. Now, if I have something that really needs to be printed out I go to the post office where there's a net connection and print it there.

I buy online a lot! I can get it cheaper then in the store even with shipping. Some place even pay shipping if you buy so much. With gas prices so high it is much cheaper for the price without the drive.

I do shop online a lot. I love it- You can find a lot of great deals that you may not find in the stores. The only downfall from time to time is the shipping cost. I look for items that will ship for free.
Glad you found a great steal of a deal!

Hi Grandpa B,
My husband bought all his stuff like camera, cellphone, hard disk and all computer stuff online..It's a lot cheaper than buying it in the store and he has no problem also about those products!

I have a hp laptop and I'm typing away on it now.
I love online shopping! and thus far I have been very blessed not to have been cheated or faced with credit card fraud. i guess being wise and discerning helps ahah.
I love online shopping for scrapbooking material. cos paper is light so shipping doesn't amount to very much. of course sometimes I wish i were living in the states where so many sites ship to for free!

Wow, that is good to know. I shop online all the time, I keep the UPS, DHL, Post office, and all the others hopping at Christmas. I am a moderator on several groups that help find good deals, we all search the web for the best sales, and even freebies, then we share them. Our main group has over 11,000 members, so we have a lot of resources. I do use HP products, but have never thought about ordering ink online from them, I will definately have to check them out, esp. with that kind of service. I can go through some ink, so any savings helps. Thanks for sharing Bob. Blessings Marilyn

I order things online all the time. I would have though the order would ship Monday too as usually it says business days it is great you got it Saturday. My compuer is a Compaq which is made by Hewlett Packard and my printer is a Hewlett Packard and I have a digital camera that is a Hewlett Packard.

Wow, this is good to know. I do have an HP printer (as well as laptop and digital camera), and I had no idea ordering directly from them could be a good deal. I will keep this in mind when I run out of ink!
I do shop online sometimes. I like to check out prices online, but if I have to pay shipping, or if I want/need it NOW, I will go to the store to get it if possible. Things that can wait, I like to order from Amazon, as you can find almost anything there, plus I sometimes get gift cards from there. I also tend to do most of my holiday shopping from Amazon and a few other online stores, as I will NOT go near a mall between Thanksgiving and Dec. 26!
