Buying HP 304 black ink cartridges

[pgm53]

Can anybody please tell me where I can purchase HP 304 black ink cartridges. Everywhere (including the HP Store) is out of stock. Does anybody know when they will be back in stock. Many thanks

Hi,

I do see the cartridge available from Argos:

https://www.argos.co.uk/product/6317151

Also from Ryman

From Currys as well:

I do see the cartridge available from several Amazon resellers too:

If you experience any issues, I suggest looking for 304 XL cartridge too.

Hope that may help,

Shlomi

Thanks for the reply but they are out of stock in all of those retailers you listed which is why I posted the question on the communities. The exception was Amazon but I don't really want to pay £38 for a £13 cartridge. Is there a supply problem because even the HP store doesn't have them?

I'm having the same issue, can't find them anywhere. Is it just a shortage or have they been discontinued? (I hope not as I only just got the printer!)

[ShlomiL]

I guess this is just a shortage due to COVID19, just my personal assumption for the reason.

The cartridges are surely not discontinued, these are used by relatively new printers.

Your reply is incorrect HP. There are none available since March now. Please confirm why you are not manufacturing and when we can expect stock of the HO 304 black. 
thanks

Hello @HP, 

I have been trying to buy the 304 black ink cartridges everywhere. I am not ready to pay 45 pounds to a retailer on Amazon to buy it. I tried Argos, Currys, JohnLewis, Amazon. 

This is unacceptable. I need to fill in documents and print and you are lacking clear communication towards your customers. 

Can you please give us an ETA as to when the cartridges will be back in stock and whether or not they stopped being manufactured? 

Thank you

Marianne

ShlomiL, 

Can you give us an update on this case?

Best, 

Marianne

interesting that HP have not yet responded as to status of getting these hp304 cartridges. are they afraid of the backlash from those who have recently brought a printer needing these?

Hi,

The product is still out of stock on Argos and most retaillers, 

I eventually decided to buy a self-filling pack with ink and a syringe
