I have the original Canon cartridges ordered from PHD shop. Unfortunately, I was so not satisfy the type of packaging. The cartridges were only the simple protection film wrapped in paper in a padded envelope. There was no reference to the expiry date. Because at the time, when I ordered, offer only the image of the actual Canon printer cartridges could be seen, which was unacceptable to me and I sent the cartridges back. I would rather spend more money and can assume that the cartridges are not dried up or have defective contacts. The purchase price was paid me back very quickly. The cartridges are low, the reverse transaction has worked out very well. So I would just recommend that you requesting the dealer previously short, whether it is bulk. If that does not matter one that is yes then fine.
