ink4art doesn't charge for shipping, unless you need expedited shipping.
It's pretty fast with standard shipping. Then again, I don't wait until I
run out, so it doesn't matter.

The ink I use cost me less than $25 for 12 cartridges (4 of each). buy.com
doesn't even have much Canon ink at all, and what they have is over $10 for
each color.

I've bought plenty of their ink, and OEM ink, and the ink4art is as good or
better, so saving about $100/order is worth it. I can buy a new printer
with the money I save.

Sorry it doesn't work for you, but you don't have to act like I'm wrong just
because you can't take advantage of it.
