Frequently Asked Questions
Five cartridges on the shelf at once — how do we keep stock of this size tidy and under control?
With a simple rotation habit. This pack holds five compatible Dell 331-9805 black cartridges for the B2360D family, each rated at 8,500 pages. When it arrives, write the date on the outer carton, store the cartridges sealed, flat and away from heat, and issue them strictly oldest-first. Because every unit is the same part number, there is exactly one row on the shelf to manage — no separating spares by machine, no orphan box for a printer you retired last year.
What does each cartridge in the pack effectively cost?
The pack is $382.03, so $76.41 per cartridge. The same 331-9805 bought singly is $91.20, which means the pack trims $14.79 off every cartridge and $73.97 off the five together. Spread over the rated yield, that is about 0.90 cents per page instead of roughly 1.07 cents — the saving comes from the single order of five, not from any difference in the cartridge.
How far does the pack take a B2360D workgroup?
Five cartridges at 8,500 pages each is 42,500 pages of printing. A group putting 3,000 pages a month through its B2360D machines is looking at well over a year before the shelf is empty; even at 6,000 pages a month the pack covers about seven months. In practice the shelf stops being something anyone checks weekly — it becomes a slow-moving store you glance at monthly.
When should we reorder — at the last cartridge, or earlier?
Earlier: when the second-to-last cartridge goes into a machine, one remains as cover and that is the moment to place the next order. Waiting until the shelf is empty turns a routine purchase into an urgent one. With 8,500 pages still in the machine and 8,500 in reserve at that point, there is a comfortable buffer for the replacement pack to arrive from the nearest of our warehouses.
Does it matter that our machines are not all the same model?
Not for this cartridge. The 331-9805 is the shared unit for the Dell Laser B2360d, B2360dn, B3460dn and B3465dn, so a shelf stocked for the B2360D also covers the others. This listing carries the B2360D name, but stock bought under it can be issued to any machine in that family without a second thought.
What stands behind cartridges that may sit for months before use?
The same cover whenever each one is fitted: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns on every cartridge in the pack, individually. Full terms are on our shipping and returns page. We ship from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if a stocking question comes up.
