Getting Started
How It Works
- There are 3 ways to ask for a quote. You can either fill out the form, send in images, or upload an inventory list of your toners. Please include product details such as the brand name, toner model, quantity, and condition for an accurate quote.
- Double-check all the details, so that there won't be any hold-ups with your quote. Then just hit the submit button, sit back and relax!
- We'll review your submission, and then one of our team members will get back to you with an offer you can't refuse. Confirm the details and our representative will get on with processing your order.
Create an Account
- Sign up with Toner Connect, and see how easy it is to sell your toners, literally. To save you time from having to fill out long forms, we provide four options to quickly get started: Sign up using Google, Facebook, Linkedin, or by email.
Verifying Your Account

Packing
Before Packing My Items
How Should I Package My Items?
- Getting your unused toner cartridges through to us isn't too complicated a process, although there are a few pitfalls to avoid.
- Firstly, we'll unfortunately have to turn back any products that haven't been properly packed into shipping boxes. Why? We need to make sure they arrive in good condition, and given how fragile they can be, good quality packaging is a must.
- Secondly, we ask that you don't remove the original brand labels and stickers on the packaging. If so, the products may lose value… and no one wants that!
Leave The Labels
- We like labels. We collect them. Please don't remove any of them!
- That includes any shipping labels or tape on the box. We're well-versed in professionally removing these to prevent as much damage as possible.
No Graffiti
- The shipping process is more about what you shouldn't do than what you should!
- Please don't write on or mark the toner box, especially on the UPC code. One word scrawled in the wrong place could result in a smaller pay day.
Keep It Intact
- We might sound like a broken record, but this is another no-no.
- Please don't cut out any part of the box, particularly the section with the UPC code. This may also decrease the value of your items.
Packing My Items
Overbox Please
- Don't forget to overbox your items, so they aren't damaged when they arrive. Any toners shipped by themselves without a box will automatically be rejected.
Shipping
Prepaid Shipping Labels
- You can print out prepaid shipping labels after you accept our offer. Simply login to your account, and click on "Accept Offer". Then just follow the on-screen instructions on the next page, and it'll show you how to print out your labels for shipment.
Lost Packages / Claims
- If your package is lost or missing, we'll contact UPS on your behalf to inquire about the shipment. If a UPS claim needs to be filed, we'll take the necessary steps to have it resolved for you. From our experience, UPS claims typically take anywhere from 15-60 days to reach a resolution.
Box Conditions
Accepted Items
A Condition (Perfect) Toners:
- Sealed box with no Cosmetic damage
B Condition (Good) Toners:
- Sealed Box with Minor Damages (Small Rip, Pen Markings, Writing)
Not Accepted
C Condition (Bad) Toners:
- Sealed Box with Heavy Damages (Holes, Dents, Rips, Tears)
Open Box/Generic Toners:
- Any items where the factory seal is broken (i.e. open box sealed bag, open box open bag, pull tab removed) cannot be accepted. We do not accept any compatible or remanufactured toners.
Missing Holographic Stickers:
- Most OEM brands place holographic stickers on their products. It is extremely important for these to be intact as this is one of the only ways to verify the authenticity of the product. If an item does not have a holographic sticker, or the sticker is damaged, it may be subject to refusal.
Inspection
Inspection Process
- Once your shipment arrives, all items will undergo inspection by our TC Inspection Team. Each item will be carefully examined to confirm accuracy of brand, toner model, quantity, and condition it was initially described to be. Inspection usually takes up to 1 business day after delivery. Once inspection is complete, you will be notified via email with more details.
Modified Orders
- If the Inspection Team finds discrepancies regarding your order, a detailed report of the findings will be posted in your account for review. And your original order will be modified to reflect the actual items received.
- If you send additional items that were not listed in your original quote, we'll review them during our inspection. If the items are accepted (new, unused, and OEM), we will add them to your order and credit you based on our current buyback rates. If the items are not accepted (e.g., used, opened, remanufactured, or expired), they will be returned to you upon request within 3 business days of inspection. If no request is made, they will be disposed of.

Returns
Returning Non-Accepted Items
- If you'd like your non-accepted items to be returned, please send us a prepaid shipping label to have them sent back to you. Toner Connect does not cover return shipping costs if the seller sends items that we clearly informed we don't accept. If we find that an oversight occurred due to reasons beyond the seller's fault, Toner Connect will make an exception to return items at our own expense.
