Good price but quality control needs improvement

Item arrived on time and was very well packaged. I don't use the printer often enough to speak of durability, but so far the quality seems to be on par with other regular toners I've bought in the past. Also, they were very cheap. My problem is that 2 cartridges appear to be empty and/or already open. The first was missing a stain or ink spot (pink), which I attributed to the manufacture. I was fed up with the printer low toner warning, so I just typed it in and forgot about it. Then the second one I replaced, the ink (yellow) turned out to be very thin and translucent, especially compared to the old ones. Since I didn't replace all the cartridges at once, I wasn't sure. until I wanted to change the 3rd toner and had to cut up the bag with the cartridge. The first 2 were already open and I didn't even notice because they were so well packaged! Overall they were reasonably priced, arrived fairly quickly and I was in dire need of a first replacement. Realizing that they were previously open and probably in use, I got stuck on them. I don't think I would recommend it based on my experience but I might use this company again based on the price and the acceptable quality of the third (apparently brand new) toner I replaced. To be honest, I understand that I could. I probably would have gotten a replacement if I had raised my concerns right away or given a refund. I've decided to just use it and not bother, so I'm giving it 3 stars (neutral).

Pros
  • Nice packaging
