Terms and Conditions
Returns and Claims Policy
a) In order for us to process your return efficiently, login to your account first, then you should be at Your Cart. Then scroll down page to Additional Info and then look for Return Authorisation Form. Click on this text and note the conditions and follow instructions to complete and submit.
b) Original receipt is required for all returns, exchanges and warranty. Credit or refunds for correctly or incorrectly ordered unopened, unused re-saleable products, now deemed as surplus by the customer will NOT be granted beyond 30 days of the original invoice date for such goods.
c) Defective cartridges must be returned to Australian Toner Masters prior to replacement approval unless otherwise directed by the authorised officer of Australian Toner Masters. On occasions Australian Toner Masters may waive the need to return such goods and therefore it is important that the customer follows the explicit directions of the claims officer of Australian Toner Masters during the returns process. Failure to adhere to such instruction will compromise the returns process and may delay any refund/credit that may be approved. In any event, failure to adhere to such direction within 10 days of original claim date will result in that claim being rejected in its entirety.
d) (i) All non-defective products must be returned in the packaging in an as-new condition. (ii) Claims for refunds and/or credits for non-defective products must be submitted within 30 days of the originating order invoice date. (iii) No refund and/or credit will be issued for non-defective products past 30 days of the originating order invoice date. Sub-Clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) only apply to products deemed as “returnable” as defined in Clause (j).
e) All returned compatible cartridges are subject to testing by Australian Toner Masters and respective manufacturers in the case of claims for OEM products in order to determine defect claim. Any returned items for this reason will be subject to testing by our technical staff and/or respective manufacturers’ technical department for OEM Products. If our testing shows that the returned items are indeed defective, replacements or refunds will be made based on conditions and terms stipulated in clause f & g. For OEM products level of credit or refund offered will be determined by respective manufacturers’ policies.
f) If the items returned are found to be in fact functional and not faulty as reported, the items will be returned to the customer and additional postage will be charged for the shipment. A brief document will be sent indicating the results of our tests and instruction on how to correctly install or use the items.
g) In order to receive a full credit or exchange, defective cartridges returned must weigh at least 80% percent of a new cartridge. If a returned cartridge weighs less than 80% of a new cartridge, a pro rata-CREDIT amount will be calculated and determined by the service department of Australian Toner Masters. Such an amount will then be credited towards another compatible or OEM cartridge.
i) A re-stocking fee will be charged for returnable items incorrectly ordered by customers (for items that qualify as returnable see clause j and r below). The fee is 25% of the purchase price excluding postage. The item(s) returned for exchange must be returned to Australian Toner Masters in a saleable condition, unopened and in the original packaging and qualify as returnable under clause b. Postage is not refundable. Delivery charges for the return to Australian Toner Masters as well as re-sending of items to Australian Toner Masters will be the responsibility of the customer. A credit note rather than a refund will be issued for all goods that qualify as returnable which have been incorrectly ordered.
j) All items except bulk ink, refill kits and paper products qualify as returnable except where otherwise stated in Clause b, where products that are deemed no longer required by the customer past 30 days of the originating invoice date. No refunds or credit will be issued for bulk ink, refill kits or paper products that are ordered incorrectly by the customer or those deemed as surplus stock as detailed in clause b.
k) Customer must notify Australian Toner Masters within ten days of the original dispatch date for all returnable items incorrectly ordered.
l) Please allow up to 21 business days to process your return from the time it reaches our Returns Department.
m) Customer is responsible for shipping charges and risk of loss on all returning shipments. We recommend using a reputable shipping carrier capable of providing proof of delivery, as well as properly packing and fully insuring your return shipment. If a tracking number of such shipments are provided, the same information will be passed immediately on to Australian Toner Masters.
n) In circumstances where goods have been returned to us as a result of incorrect address supplied by the customer, an additional delivery fee will be charged to the customer for the re-sending of goods.
p) Returns need to be packed sturdily and securely to avoid any damage in transit. Additional charges may be incurred for any damages to the goods occur during transit.
q) Incorrect products supplied by Australian Toner Masters from what you ordered must be returned within 7 days of receipt or at latest 10 days after dispatch date and Australian Toner Masters informed of the same by email on receipt to

r) All goods for return, whether regarded as faulty, incorrectly ordered or surplus to requirements and qualify under Clause b must be returned to Australian Toner Masters within 10 business days of notification from Australian Toner Masters of the return address for the return of such goods unless otherwise directed by the authorised officer of Australian Toner Masters.

Delivery and Postage Conditions
Due to the spiralling costs associated with redelivery fees charged to Australian Toner Masters as a result of customers not being available to receive goods ordered, some important changes have been made to the process of delivery. Australian Toner Masters can no longer absorb any redelivery fees caused by customers not being available to receive goods. Please read the following terms and conditions of purchase that deal specifically with these changes.
a) All orders delivered by Courier Companies will have attached to their sent goods an “AUTHORITY TO LEAVE ARTICLE ON PREMISES WITHOUT P.O.D. SIGNATURE” or a “NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED” or other such label indicating that goods may be left at the nominated address without a signature or physical hand over to the customer. Such customers agree to abide by this action and hence are then fully responsible for the condition and title of such goods left without a signature.
b) All orders delivered by Australia Post, Fastway or Start Track may be left at the nominated address without a signature or physical hand over to the customer and such customers agree to abide by this action and hence are then fully responsible for the condition and title of such goods left without a signature.
c) Those customers who expressly inform Australian Toner Masters prior to dispatch that they would prefer that goods be received in person and signed for by them or their representatives, must be available to do so when goods are attempted to be delivered. Such deliveries can only be made where a signature to verify the delivery can be obtained or there is an authorised receiver’s officer to accept the goods handed over from the delivery company. The best addresses are where someone is available between 7am and 6pm weekdays, or a business address which is open during normal business hours.
d) Notification of option (c) must be in writing and placed in the space provided for comments after submitting and confirming order.
e) If delivery to customer’s nominated address is unsuccessful due to customer or their representatives not being available to receive and/or sign for such goods after exercising option (c), any additional redelivery fees will be charged to the customer.
f) Usually if delivery cannot be made, Australia Post and couriers will leave a note or card with further instructions for you to pick up or have the items redelivered, but this cannot be taken for granted. If delivery cannot be made, the customer will be responsible for any redelivery fees incurred even though such customer may not receive the item. We strongly urge customers to make sure someone is available to receive goods. If there is a possibility that someone will not be available to personally receive the order, and the customer wishes to ensure delivery will be affected, we strongly urge you to nominate either another postal address or a local post office as the point of delivery. Such new addresses need to be added to the shipping address section of the customers’ details and can be done by clicking on the “Change Your Details link in the MY ACCOUNT box.
g) (i) Couriers and other transport services are unable to personally call before delivery is made or attempted to be made to indicate time of day goods will be delivered. (ii) Requests to deliver between certain hours during the day cannot be granted. Transport and Postal Companies are unable provide such information due to the inherent logistical costs and delays such undertaking would incur.
h) If the customer has received a dispatch notice with a tracking number available, it is the customer’s responsibility to contact the nominated delivery company in the first instance to investigate the progress of the delivery before contacting Australian Toner Masters.
i) Although every care is taken by Australian Toner Masters to ensure accurate delivery to Customers, Australian Toner Masters does not accept liability for any losses occurring at point of delivery.
