As an additional voluntary benefit, unopened and unused ink and toner cartridges in brand-new condition may be returned for a full refund where the return request is made within 30 calendar days of the purchase date. This extended returns policy applies to ink and toner cartridges only.

2-year warranty on Cartridge World own-brand cartridges

Our own-brand cartridges are manufactured to high quality standards. If a quality issue occurs within the warranty period, we can provide a replacement or refund where appropriate.

2 years of confidence

The 2-year cartridge warranty applies to Cartridge World own-brand cartridges purchased after 5 August 2022. Earlier purchases are covered under the original 12-month warranty policy.

What to send us if you need help

  • Your Cartridge World order number.
  • Your printer make and model.
  • The cartridge code or product name.
  • A clear photo of any printer error message.
  • A photo or scan showing the print quality issue, if relevant.
Important: Cartridge recognition issues caused by automatic HP firmware updates are treated separately. If your cartridge was purchased more than 6 months before reporting a recognition issue linked to HP firmware, this may be excluded from warranty cover.

Your printer warranty and compatible cartridges

Customers often ask whether using Cartridge World branded cartridges affects their printer warranty. Here is the reassurance we give customers.

Your standard printer warranty should not be invalidated

We guarantee that your standard printer warranty will not be invalidated simply because you use Cartridge World branded cartridges. If one of our own-brand cartridges is shown to have caused a printer problem, we will arrange repair or replacement where required.

We will support you if a genuine issue occurs

In the unlikely event that a Cartridge World own-brand cartridge is at fault, we will support you with advice, troubleshooting and the appropriate next steps to resolve the issue.

Good to know: Firmware updates, especially on some HP printers, can change how printers interact with cartridges. We recommend reviewing your printer’s automatic update settings if you use compatible or remanufactured cartridges.

Returns, wrong items and damaged deliveries

Our voluntary 30-day unopened returns policy applies specifically to ink and toner cartridges. Other products remain covered by your applicable statutory consumer rights.

30-day unopened cartridge returns

Unopened and unused ink and toner cartridges in brand-new condition may be returned for a full refund where the return request is made within 30 calendar days of the purchase date under our voluntary extended cartridge returns policy. This additional 30-day policy does not apply to printers, computer hardware, office supplies or other non-cartridge products.

Ordered the wrong items?

If an error on our website caused you to order the wrong product, we will accept the item back for replacement or refund, even if opened. If the wrong item was ordered for another reason, contact us and we will still do our best to help.

Damaged in transit?

If an item arrives damaged in transit, please tell us as soon as possible and, where possible, within 72 hours of receipt. Please keep the packaging and send photos of the damage so we can investigate quickly. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Cartridge problem?

If a cartridge is not recognised, not printing correctly or showing an error, please contact us before returning it. Many issues can be resolved with simple checks.

Your statutory rights: Our Cartridge World guarantees and voluntary returns policies provide additional benefits and do not replace or limit your statutory consumer rights. Different statutory rights may apply depending on the circumstances of your purchase.
