Frequently Asked Questions

What supplies do I need to return?

Any unused supplies that were provided by Xerox as part of your contract and are in the original Xerox carton should be returned using this process.

Should I ship each consumable individually?

Please return all unused supplies using an over box. Placing a shipping label on — or otherwise marking — supplies compromises the packaging. Instead, place all supplies in a shipping box or on a pallet. There is no minimum number of items for a shipping box.

What should I do if I only have one item to return?

Please place the item in an over box. Placing a shipping label on — or otherwise marking — supplies compromises the packaging. Instead, place all supplies in a shipping box or on a pallet. There is no minimum number of items for a shipping box.

Do I need to provide a detailed list of the items I’m returning?

It is not necessary to provide a detailed list of items.

Should I return all my unused inventory?

During the term of the contract, please retain one item of each part number. All unused items are required to be returned at the end of the contract period.

Is there a limit to the number of supplies I can return?

There is no limit to the number of supplies you can return.

Can I ship supplies from multiple contracts in the same shipping box?

The Contract Printer Supplies Returns process is for returning supplies for devices on a Xerox contract. Please contact your call center/help desk to return supplies that were purchased from Xerox.

Can I request a return shipping label without my customer number, contract number or budget center number?
