Did you manage to get any in the UK? A few of us tried and they don't sell them. Schmokkin didn't we try to get these?
We all got really excited because it gave the impression we could order and pick up from a Decathalon store which is connected to Asda. We went to one I think near Watford and were told they don't stock them. I think Schmokkin looked into it a bit more and found we were not able to get them here. Shame as there were some really cheap prices and it would of been fun trying out a box or two for as little as £2.50!
Decathlon cartridges are very good based on their pricing however I don't think you can get them in the UK.
They are cheap Sian but you are in the realms of fantasy at £ 2.50 per box the cheapest I can buy them here is €44 per carton so about £ 4 per box I would go as far as to say no where in Europe can you buy a box of cartridges for £2.50 unfortunately
Just going on what it said on the website when we were looking which was a few months ago if you recall the thread.Decathlon cartridges are very good based on their pricing however I don't think you can get them in the UK.

True but you have to put some things into perspective where can you buy 1000 cartridges for £100 today?

You live in France we don't so how are we to know the relative prices,a few months back i was buying for £140 so not beyond the realms of possibility that a country that does not usually let itself get ripped off and a massive company there couldn't do a loss leader for a ton.

I popped in to the Decathlon at La Glasserie just outside Cherbourg about three weeks ago, and couldn't see any very cheap cartridges there.

They keep pestering me as to why i was unhappy!
Nothing wrong with a bit of hope sometimes,got to admit i thought it unlikely but not impossible.

To be honest you have been buying cartridges at a very favourable price if you could buy them at that price. I have not been able to buy cartridges at anything less than about €160 per thousand over the last six months or so just last year the very cheap carts were about €150 but that is way more than £100.
edit Decathlons cheapest are sitting at €176 just now which is about £157 ish ?

Yes it has to be said that you could buy Jocker LA28's at almost the same price as I could down here and they are made about two hours from my door !
Shooting the French FU champs at Ychoux this weekend and was talking to someone who had bought some S&B cartridges in Italy at €124 per thousand that a very cheap £ 110 ish so they are out there after all. I am told the same cartridges are on sale in France at €224 !!
actually I got that name wrong the cartridges were made by B&P made in Italy I think? Anyway the guy who had bought them was amazed at the difference in price.
