Canadian Inkjet cartridge supplier (Re-Inks/Atlantic Inkjet ) moves all operations to the U.S.
Well it looks like even the Canadian Inkjet marketplace is not shielded from U.S. influence. Market leader Atlantic Inkjet (Re-Inks) has closed down their Canadian operations and is now shipping all products from the U.S.
A look at their updated site reveals a new “Owner” (Re-inks/Easy Group, LLC.) for the formerly privately held company.
What does this mean for Canadian consumers? Refills ink will no longer continue to be produced in Canada, as it is currently being manufactured by the new owners existing operations (uni-kit) in the U.S.
As the Canadian operation used to employ somewhere in the order of 100 people, they may be looking elsewhere for employment.
The level for free shipping to Canada has been increased to $60.00 and does not include customs handling/clearance costs…Effectively making them uncompetitive in the Canadian marketplace.
Flat rate shipping charges have also increased for orders under $60.00 cdn.
In addition, most pricing has increased for products marketed.
So one less place to order from in Canada for your most cost effective inkjet supplies.
Metawatch Inkjet supplies is still here, located in Canada and growing.
