Cartridges not available

I have an Epson XP-235 printer. For some bazar reason the supplier is out of stock of any of the cartridges. I cannot find anyone who still supplies these cartridges. I have bought from Makro and Takealot and Dion before, but it seems no one is stocking it due to the supplier. I am not buying a new printer to have cartridges available. This is ridiculous.... I am very disappointed.
