always buy the actual inks and not the compatibles, despite what people say there is a difference and I can see it. These I buy where they are cheapest. I bought my computer from Northbridge Computers, lovely to deal with as I am sure you are too Cy, any problems that I have had have been dealt with very well.

I bought my current PC from PC World - and I received excellent help and advice from the young man who dealt with me.  He even pointed out, when I told him the machine I had chosen, that another machine - which was slightly cheaper, had some better parts to it - and that was the machine I bought.  About a month later I decided to upgrade my square flat screen monitor and again went to PC World - and had very good help and advice from the guy who dealt with me.  In both these instances I had gone to a local company - who, in each case hadn’t got the product I was interested in - but they assured me stock was due in later that day or the next day.  They took my details and phone number - assured me they would phone me when the items arrived.  I am still awaiting a call back for both items -and this is some two years later!  That’s why, for these two items I didn’t shop locally.

For my printer cartridges, I’ve always bought them from a company called Tonik who, providing you phone you order before 2pm (I think) - they arrive next day.  I’ve always purchased the branded cartridges for my printer having had a couple of disasters with the cheapos.  However, a few months ago, I bought their own compatible ones - and these have worked fine - I cannot tell any difference.

Obviously, one can only speak as one finds.  I've heard some disastrous tales from others who have shopped there. 

A few years ago I decided to get a laptop, went to a well-known store (who I won't name) in Norwich.  I discussed laptops with the sales person - and then said, pointing to those on display - "Are there any of these that you could recommend?"  His response was "They're all about the same - so just pick one," and he walked off!  If I remember rightly his name was John Lewis.  I complained to the department's Manager before leaving - and told him that I would purchase one elsewhere - which I did.
