Returns Policy: Printer Ink, Toner & Printing Supplies
This Returns Policy explains the general process for customers who need to return printer ink, toner cartridges, drum units, refill ink or label tapes purchased from Inkrefill NZ. Because printer consumables are model-specific, customers should first confirm the cartridge number and printer model before ordering. Our Printer Ink & Toner FAQ provides additional compatibility guidance. Shop printer ink and toner.
Contact us before returning an item
Customers should contact Inkrefill NZ before sending a product back. We can then provide the appropriate return instructions and confirm the information required for the order. Do not send a return to an address found elsewhere on the website unless Inkrefill NZ has specifically instructed you to do so.
Check compatibility before ordering
Printer cartridges are not universal. Check the printer brand, exact printer model, cartridge number, colour and yield before placing an order. If you are unsure, browse the appropriate Brother, Canon, Epson or HP category or contact support before purchase.
Unopened and unused products
Where a return is permitted, products should be returned in their original condition and with packaging intact. Printer ink and toner are consumable products, so the condition of the product and packaging can affect whether a return can be accepted. Customers should not open, install or alter a cartridge if they believe they have ordered the wrong item.
Incorrect, damaged or faulty products
If you receive an incorrect item or a product appears damaged or faulty, contact Inkrefill NZ promptly and provide the order details. Photographs of damaged packaging or the product may be requested to help assess the issue. Keep the packaging until the return or replacement process has been completed.
Cartridge recognition problems
A printer message does not always mean a cartridge is defective. Recognition issues can be caused by an incorrect cartridge number, installation, protective materials, contacts, chip communication or printer software and firmware behaviour. Before requesting a return for a recognition problem, read our HP printer cartridge troubleshooting guide and our FAQ.
Refunds and return costs
Any refund, replacement or return-cost decision is assessed according to the circumstances of the order and the applicable terms. Where a customer has simply ordered an incompatible product without checking the printer model or cartridge number, return conditions may differ from an item that arrived incorrect, damaged or defective. Contact us before sending anything back so the correct process can be confirmed.
Return timeframe
Where the applicable return terms specify a timeframe, customers should contact Inkrefill NZ as soon as possible rather than waiting until the end of the period. The order number, product name, cartridge number and reason for return should be provided so the request can be processed efficiently.
Printer ink, toner and drum unit returns
For drum units, toner cartridges and ink cartridges, verify the product number before opening the packaging. If you are looking for refill bottles, see refillable printer ink. For label products, check label tapes, DYMO label tapes or Brother P-Touch label tapes before ordering.
Delivery and returns
For delivery-related information, read our Delivery Information and Shipping Policy. For payment questions, see Online Bank Payment and Billing Terms & Conditions.
