The Inky Shop Doesn't Care for Its Clients

The Inky Shop has destroyed our reputation and business. We are now in a legal battle with a local municipality because of them.

I requested a quotation for 12 toner cartridges with the correct specification. They then sent me a totally different Quotation to what I had requested (and I have proof for anyone who wants to see).

Because they sell generic ink; I was unable to verify that they had sent me what I requested (they have their own codes). I then added my mark-up and submitted my Quotation to Kwa-Dukuza Local Municipality. A few days later, the Municipality sends us an order to supply that ink.

I rushed to Inky Shop Pietermaritzburg (Liberty Mall) to pay and collect what I had requested from them. After delivery to the municipality and a payment received I learnt that the cartridges were totally incorrect and not what I requested.

I quick review of the original emails shows that they sent me the wrong cartridges after I sent them the correct specification. When I approached them to correct their error, Two-Boy made it clear to me that I must pay an additional R6000 in order to correct their mistake. I escalated the matter to their owner (Rone "whatever the hell') who neither rep**** to my emails, phone calls and SMSs.

I am now in a legal battle with a municipality for incompetence dealt to me by Rone, Two-Boy and The Inky Shop. There is no avenue to reach them.

I urge you to glance past them when you are looking for Ink. The Inky Shop is business built on empty promises and deceit. Stay far away.

Reviewer Update
I'm am glad to report that Brett Cane from The Inky Shop called me to correct the error.

His mannerism and approach was highly appreciated; he quickly displayed both empathy and sympathy to my ordeals. He not only corrected the error in the cartridges; he also promised to deliver the correct stock and pick up the incorrect one. Which I am glad to say that he did within a day.

Our business and theirs have resolved their impasse delightfully. I am glad to say that I'll be passing by them when I am out of ink. This time I'll double check with them if I've received the correct quote :)

Thanks Brett ????
