Where is the best place to buy cartridges online in the U.S?
Best prices and best shipping. Thank you

I purchase most of mine on e-bay but I only purchase from the sellers who have free shipping. I have purchased 15 or so that way and have paid from less than $10 to $25 each. HTH

I will second that, especially the free shipping! I've sometimes had to wait out a few auctions to get the cartridge I wanted, at the price I wanted. The key to buying this way is to decide the absolute highest amount you want to pay for the cartridge (or any other auction item, for that matter) and stick with it--don't get caught up in the moment and overbid.

Good luck and happy Cricut-ing!

I totally agree with you. I'm pretty good at setting my max bid and leaving it there. I go back later to see if I won. If you've never played on e-bay - you can set a max bid (it kinda talks you through it) then you don't have to touch it again until it's time to pay. It will place the lowest possible bid for you at that time (say minimum bid is 0.99 and you set your max bid at 25.00, cause you really want that cart. your bid will 0.99) then as others bid it will go up as required until it gets to the 25.00 point. No muss no fuss for you. The hardest part of waiting and not uping your bid.

There is also Oh My Crafts who is also one of the free shippers on e-bay.

Have fun.

For me, I find a few listings that I really like and then if I really want it, I go in at the 50-60 second mark at the end and post my max bid. This way there is not a bidding war that jacks the price up too soon. Granted, you have to be able to be online for the end of the auctions. Earlier this year I was able to get 12 cartridges for about $150.00 all in and like the previous posters, I didn't pay shipping on any of them. I haven't found any new ones that I like - but I did just cash in my reward points for Wall Decor and More and I really like this one.

There have also been a lot of sales lately - but watch the shipping costs on them.

Thanks friends! I am familiar and use Ebay. I was just wondering if there was an online site that was really economical that I was unaware of. Michael's and Jo-Annes never seem to get the cartridges in their store that I want. Thanks again.

I like to shop with Hallmark Scrapbook. They have a good selection, good prices, and quick shipping. I've also had good luck with Cricut Machine. Hope that helps!

Also check out Walmart.com: Save money. Live better. - they offer free shipping to store (if you live near a Wal-Mart). The prices of most Carts are cheaper then the exclusive lite ones offered in store. I was shocked at how low some of the prices are.

Thanks ladies. I will check these sites out.

I use Oh My Crafts! They have $25.00 cartridges with $2.00 shipping. They are a good company and they sell other things like Cuttlebug folders too.
