Yes, three stars ... only because acticle received does not match the description of the ad. Indeed, the cartridges are not shipped sealed in the usual rigid plastic case, but "bulk" in a carton! Therefore, we do not know the expiration date and you can not help but have doubts about the authenticity of these genuine Brother cartridges. Are they well of origin? Why not tell the truth? I am a customer of Amazon for many years and I have to say this is my first disappointment in an order.
