Yes, it's very much worth it.

Only problem is they are picky as to what brand cartridge they'll refill. A Big NO to my Canon Cartridges!

I've used the refill service at Costco. It's good stuff. I didn't like three things about the service:

1) It typically took them over an hour just to do one cartridge. This was not convenient for me.

2) A cartridge, once filled, had a shelf life of 90 days I believe.

3) Since I didn't use my ink that much I couldn't really rotate cartridges out, so when I did run out of ink, at a moments notice, it was a pain in the ass (I don't live that close to a Costco).

I just buy my ink at Amazon now.

I've done the Ebay thing as well and it was so-so....
