In the event that you've purchased a faulty original or OEM product from Ink Maestro Ltd. please contact the manufacturer directly for further instruction.

In each of the cases above please contact us directly for a Return Merchandise Authorisation ("RMA") number BEFORE returning goods. This RMA number and a copy of the delivery note or invoice must accompany any item being returned to us. Shipping charges are non-refundable. The following conditions must be satisfied for a valid guarantee claim:

Before a refund and/or reshipment can be issued, the cartridges in question must be returned to Ink Maestro Limited.

'In Stock' means the product is in stock, here in our building, so if you order and pay before 16.00 (Mon-Thurs, 14.00 Friday) we will send the goods on the same day (Mon. to Fri.). If you choose to pay on account, we will dispatch your order immediately after any credit has been approved.
'In External Warehouse' means the item is not in stock in our packing warehouse at the moment, either because it is stocked in one of our other warehouses or we are waiting for a new delivery or we have just sold the last one. If you wish to order the product you can do so, we can have stock of most items within 24 to 48 hours, after which we can dispatch your order. If there is going to be a longer delay, we will let you know. If you need to know a lead time on an 'in external w/house' product before you order, we will be happy to provide you with one. Please send your query to info@123-3D.ie. While we would love to have stock of every single item, all the time, it just isn't physically possible and some of the rarer products can be hard to source. We are of course subject to supplier and overseas delivery gremlins, but we try our best to fulfil all orders in a timely fashion.

Ink Maestro Limited is based in Dublin 11, where we have a 16,000 sq. ft. office and warehouse premises. We hold a very large stock of most 'runners' (i.e. the fast movers). Some items are such small sellers that we often don't keep stock of them, in which case there may be a 7-10 day lead time. We use An Post and Fastway Couriers for next day delivery throughout Ireland.

Ink Maestro Limited liability for delivery shall cease, and title and all risk of loss or damage to the products as a result of misuse, or damage to personal property as a result of misuse shall pass on to the customer.

A 15 business day waiting period is required before any product shall be resent or any order be cancelled at the discretion of Ink Maestro Limited, per customer request.
