The prices are cheaper because there is no VAT to pay in the Channel
Islands. When the goods are imported into the UK, VAT is payable to HM
Customs. However, if they have an intrinsic value of �18 or less no VAT
is due. The intrinsic value is the actual value of the goods excluding
postage, packing and other miscellaneous costs.

http://www.hmce.gov.uk/notices/143.htm  for more info.

If you say order 2 cartridges, companies such as MX2 split the order and
send them individually, so you don't have to pay VAT.
