VAT Increase from 1 January 2010

As you may be aware, VAT returns to its standard rate of 17½% after being at the reduced rate of 15% for a year. As with most retailers, we regret that our standard prices on most items will rise slightly to reflect this.

You can avoid this small rise by ordering on or before the 31st of December 2009. All orders placed before the 1st of January will be charged at the lower 15% VAT rate, regardless of when they’re processed and dispatched- so it makes sense to get your order in now!

Latest update on Royal Mail delivery situation

Author: Disk Depot @ 5:04 pm

If you’re worried about ordering due to the Royal Mail industrial action… good news!

All strikes have been called off until New Year at the very earliest, so Disk Depot deliveries via Royal Mail over the Christmas season will not be affected.

(This was only ever a problem with small parcels where the optional low-cost Royal Mail first and second class options were available- the majority of orders placed with Disk Depot use CityLink courier services and were not affected in the first place).

In other words- order with confidence, you have nothing to worry about!

Compatible vs. Genuine Inks

Author: Disk Depot @ 2:21 pm

If you own an inkjet printer, you’re probably well aware that the ink for most models (especially the “cheap” ones) is horribly expensive- at least if you stick to the manufacturer’s original cartridges.

You’ve probably also noticed that “compatible” inks are available at much lower prices. In some cases, you can be talking about £1 for a compatible cartridge instead of £8 or more for its official equivalent. Too good to be true? After all, there’s surely no way anyone can sell decent ink that much cheaper and still make a reasonable profit- right? Wrong.   [Read More]
