For all full boxes ordered to be picked up, you will find a visualization on our webpage: Full boxes are filled with gray color and an arrow pointing upwards. Our transport partner is in charge for the pick-up of your products in a maximum of 5 business days between 09:00 am and 05:00 pm. Please make sure that a contact person is available, and that the shipment is ready for pick-up.

Can I return a box that isn’t full?

We recommend that you fill boxes completely before requesting collection; this way the environmental impacts of transport are minimised.

How should empty toners be packed?

Empty toner containers should be sealed in a plastic bag to avoid toner leakage during storage and/or transit (you’ll find one in the box your new toner came in, or you can use any plastic bag). Waste toner bottle should also be shipped inside a sealed plastic bag, either together with an empty toner cassette or separately.

Can I return consumables from other manufacturers?

Please don’t return consumables from other manufactors. We absorb the significant cost of consumables recovery and recycling as part of our commitment to responsible business. When you return consumables from other manufacturers’ devices, or compatible toners made by a third party, we incur additional costs that should rightly be the responsibility of other businesses. For this reason, spot checks are carried out to identify customers who are abusing this service and we reserve the right to refuse further collections from customers who send us other consumables

Yes, our customer service can give you an appropriate management which you can find at the menu "My Account" / "My Companies“. Here you can manage all offices and branches in one consolidated address book. For all locations you can place orders and you can invite user with different administration rights. Our systems differs between: “User”: This is the person who does the order entries / “Location” This is the place were the box is placed / “Company” This is the group of all locations. So depending on administration rights a user can manage different locations at one address book.

How do I know my request has been taken into account?

After saving the order you will receive a confirmation by email. In this mail you have a summary of your order and a link to the tracking of our logistics. You can also track your order at the webpage under “My Account”.

How is traceability ensured?

Once you have placed an order for pickup of boxes, our system will send your parcel label. We ask you to fix the label at the box. Our system will check if you have downloaded the label. Without this download your order will be canceled after 24 hours (before we send you a reminder), because we need the package label for the collection, for the transports and for the tracking.

What happens when a pick-up of a full box was not performed?

Our system detects if a pickup attempt has failed. Collections could fail if the driver goes to the wrong address or arrives outside normal working hours or there is not a person on site with knowledge of the imminent pickup. To appoint a new pick-up, we send you an E- Mail with a link to be clicked. So you can order the pick up again. Of course you can find this information at the tracking under “My Account” at our webpages.
