DO NOT USEReview for Epson 252XL T252XL Series (11-pack) Replacement High Yield Ink Cartridge (5x Black, 2x Cyan, 2x Magenta, 2x Yellow)DESTROYED 2 EPSON printers in our office. Reached out as we had several cartridges remaining since we had to throw the printers out. Was told I had to ship the unopened cartridges back, at our own cost, and then they would determine the refund amount. He initially told me we could only get store credit...I advised this was useless since the cartridges destroyed our printers anyway, we wouldn't be using them again. Advised I will simply throw the ink in the trash and call it a loss. HORRIBLE service.Was this review helpful?

Sm/ glitch, may be fixed, if so I'd give 5 starsReview for Replacement Epson 252XL (T252XL120) High Yield Black Ink Cartridge - T252XL1I had a 5 star experience with website and ordering and shipment, but then found the cartridge received was a small single width vs. large 15ml double size as shown on website. I contacted the customer service via Live Chat and had another 5 star experience. I'm leaving a 4 star rating pending whether or not the company really comes through with the possible ? replacement cartridge. \ \ Of note, I was also assured that the cartridge sent will work AND really does have the same ink volume and that they will give feedback to correct photos or provide better labeling on product etc. to avoid confusion in the future. We'll see what happens. So far I'm thinking this is possibly a 5 STAR business. Very Rare!Was this review helpful?
