Now I&#39;m just worried because they&#39;re back home in Scotland. Somewhere.

You may have to wait up to a month for delivery as each cartrideg is hand made to order but well worth it<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /> Don&#39;t be put off by the relatively high cost as it should last you years due to the ultra low tracking forces of these cartridges.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/44479.aspxFri, 07 Sep 2007 15:07:34 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:44479joeyboygolf0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/44479.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=44479Reasonable price in my view.
