Rapid Refill Ink Offers Alternatives to Rising Costs
Written by Alexandra Lesmes

 

Did you know that an ounce of ink from an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) costs more than an ounce of *Channel No. 5 eau de Parfum or Don Perignon vintage champagne?  Ink has risen in price so much, that affordable supplies such as ink cartridges often lose the battle for economic viability over the long term. 

That’s where Rapid Refill comes in to play.  Located at 754 First Colonial Road in Virginia Beach, Rapid Refill is a place where customers can go to get their inkjet and laser toner cartridges refilled for a fraction of the price of a new one.  In fact, Rapid Refill customers enjoy savings of up to 50% when compared to name brand cartridges.

Rapid Refill offers the largest selection of new and refilled cartridges in the area, with over 1,000 inkjet and laser toner cartridges.  “We stock cartridges for desktop printers, copiers, fax machines and all-in-one printers,” states owner Alexandra Lesmes.  “Our pre-filled inventory makes getting a cartridge fast and easy so you can be on your way in a matter of minutes.” 

Rapid Refill meets the needs of not only consumers but also local business accounts by offering free pickup and delivery to all commercial accounts. We service all of Hampton Roads from the Southside to the Peninsula. And all of our products are backed by our 100% satisfaction guaranteed.  Our expertise and service help businesses eliminate downtime, increase productivity and advance their green initiatives while reducing costs.

“Customers not only save time and money, but they do so in an environmentally friendly manner,” says Alexandra Lesmes.  As computer printers have become standard equipment in homes and offices, the avalanche of used inkjet and toner cartridges have created a significant environmental problem.  Nearly two billion cartridges are thrown away each year.  But now you can recycle that empty cartridge by bringing it into our store or when they are picked up from our business customer’s offices upon delivery.  When you bring in your empty inkjet and laser toner cartridges, Rapid Refill Ink will give you money off the purchase of a new cartridge.

Rapid Refill doesn’t merely provide an environmentally friendly service-it’s commitment to the environment is evident in all aspects of the business.  The retail store décor uses recycled materials wherever possible-the store’s walls are made out of recycled wheat stock, the countertop is made from 100% compressed sunflower seeds and their brochures are printed on recycled paper. 

What our commercial accounts are saying about us:  “Rapid Refill has great quality and the savings really add to our bottom line.  Customer satisfaction is their main focus.”  Dr. Tanya Brown, The Center for Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry; Chesapeake.

For more information on how you can save money while helping the environment contact Alexandra Lesmes at 757-437-2743.

Store hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 10 am to 4p.m.  The company’s website is www.rapidrefill212.com and email is manager.212@rapidrefillink.net.
