Frequently Asked Questions
How does a 5-pack simplify a quarterly toner budget?
It turns toner into one predictable line. This pack — five compatible Dell 331-9805 black cartridges, 8,500 pages each — costs $382.03 once, instead of five separate $91.20 purchases landing in whichever month a machine happens to run dry. For many offices that single order is the quarter's entire black toner spend for the B2360DN fleet: one purchase order, one amount, nothing dribbling across the following months to reconcile.
What cost per page should we report against the budget?
About 0.90 cents. The arithmetic: $382.03 buys 42,500 rated pages, and $76.41 per cartridge against the $91.20 single price. Buying the same five cartridges one by one would total $456.00 and roughly 1.07 cents per page, so the pack holds $73.97 inside the budget rather than spending it. Those are the figures to put on the quarterly sheet — they are steady for the life of the pack.
What if the quarter runs heavier than expected?
Then the pack simply empties sooner and the next order moves up — nothing is wasted. Cartridges are drawn one at a time, and any unit still sealed at quarter-end rolls into the next quarter's stock at the same $76.41 cost basis. There is no subscription and no use-it-or-lose-it: a quiet quarter leaves cartridges on the shelf, not money on the table.
Why not just buy a cartridge whenever one runs out?
You can, and for a single lightly used machine that is reasonable. The pack earns its place when several machines or a busy workgroup are involved: five emergency orders a year means five rounds of approval, five deliveries to receive, and five chances for a machine to sit idle waiting. One planned order at $382.03 replaces all of that, at a lower per-cartridge price.
Which machines does this budget line actually cover?
Every machine in the family that takes part number 331-9805: the Dell Laser B2360d, B2360dn, B3460dn and B3465dn. This listing is written under the B2360DN name, but the cartridges are the family's common unit, so the one budget line covers toner for all four models rather than a line per machine.
What cover does the purchase carry?
A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns on each of the five cartridges, separately — full details on our shipping and returns page. Stock leaves from our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California warehouses, and if finance has a question about the figures, our support team answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
