BUYER BEWARE!! VIVAMART IS SELLING STARTER CARTRIDGES, November 24, 2010

I purchased two Brother LC61BK (black) ink cartridges from Vivamart which I believed to be STANDARD yield cartridges, instead they shipped me STARTER CARTRIDGES!! I spoke with a representative from Brother to confirm yield stats on the cartridges and he said that a standard ink cartridge has a 450 page yield. He said that a starter cartridge is only 1/3 to 1/2 full and therefore, has alot less life in it than a standard cartridge. If you read the Technical Details section for this item you will see that Vivamart posted their product under the item description for a Standard Yield Cartridge (450 pages) - and yet never disclosed that this was not the item they were selling. They are deceptively selling a different item and yet will not reveal that in their product description.

Beware of starter cartridges, December 28, 2010

The item's description is for a standard cartridge. Many third-party sellers are selling a starter cartridge instead however which 1/2 the size of a standard cartridge. Some at least list this in their description (although IMO there should be a fully separate item on Amazon for the starter cartridges), while others don't such as OEM Liquidators from which I purchased this item. Amazon at least was friendly about returning it since it was not the advertised item I ordered.

So, when purchasing this item from a third-party seller, make sure you are getting what you expect.

Ordered several cartridges, and the black was dried up or empty or something, would not work. Ordered two black, the other one worked fine. Supposed to be genuine Brother "Innobella", but did not come in original packaging,you decide. The other three colors worked fine, just the one black was bad. The picture shows original packing but wasn't. Came in a sealed plastic bag.
