FAQ

Can an order be left without a signature if no one is home at the time of delivery?

It’s easy to miss a courier. They might come early in the morning before you’re out of bed. You might be in the bathroom or shower and the courier is gone before you get to the door.

Here’s how to avoid the inconvenience of having to collect your parcel from the courier depot…

When you get to the “Delivery Method” step of our online checkout, make sure you leave a message for the courier. When you do that your courier message will be added to the parcel address and the courier will usually follow your instructions (unless they feel it is too risky to leave the parcel).

My Brother ink cartridge doesn’t go all the way in!

There’s often a resistance for the last few millimetres as the pin on the printer pierces the seal at the front of the cartridge. Provided you have the correct cartridge in the slot and it’s not upside down, it’s safe to apply firm pressure for that last little bit.

My Brother Toner Cartridge is Too Small!

Most Brother laser printers have a two-part consumable.

The printer will tell you whether is needs a drum or a toner cartridge replaced.

The toner cartridge lifts out of the drum cartridge as explained in the video below.

What are Your Delivery Charges?

Courier delivery to towns and cities nationwide is $8.00 per order with an extra $5.00 for rural delivery.

What does ‘compatible’ mean?

A ‘compatible’ printer cartridge is one that is not manufactured by the manufacturer of your printer.

Most of the compatible cartridges we supply are brand new aftermarket products while some are OEM cartridges that have been returned to the factory and remanufactured.

While some compatible cartridges are of dubious quality, at Easyink we only supply compatible cartridges from reputable suppliers.

The fail rate is slightly higher than genuine printer cartridges, so for mission critical printers we suggest holding an extra spare compatible or genuine cartridge.
