A month or so ago I ordered a printer cartridge from Fab Cartridges, nothing arrived and zero response to my emails and phone calls.

 

I have since read the reviews (probably should have read them first, although I have used them in the past with no problems) and they are damning. 

 

Appears they are now posting fake 5 star reviews to counter the piles of negative reviews, so seem to have morphed into a full blown scam site.

 

I have reported to Netsafe.

Yep fully appears to be fake reviews. Also some of the language too:

 

Fantastic service and top-quality products! My printer has never worked better. Highly recommend Fab Cartridges!"
Fab Cartridges is without a doubt the greatest store to purchase printer cartridges. The service is outstanding, the prices are incomparable, and the quality is unrivaled. Five stars all around!
Fast delivery and high-quality products. The cartridges were easy to install and work perfectly. Very satisfied!

 

Did you purchase via a credit card? I would attempt a chargeback via your bank.

Someone can go knock on the owners door. He's in Takapuna.
