Have you ever wondered what happens to all those machines after the lease is over? How is that fair market value, listed on the leasing form, recovered by the leasing company?

All Leasing Services has the answers. The name itself, ‘All Leasing Services’, is a bit misleading to those who have never done business with ALS. “We do not lease anything,” states Vice President of Sales, Brad Stammer, “We are the middleman that helps leasing companies, dealers and exporters purchase, sell and consign used equipment.”

ALS is the premier independently owned worldwide broker of copiers, MFPs, printers and faxes. ALS provides the total solution to meet the needs of dealers, leasing companies and exporters who are selling, buying, and consigning used equipment. ALS also provides professional repossession services which can be arranged on a contractual or individual basis.

Most dealers recognize ‘All Leasing Services, 9701 Research Drive, Irvine CA 92618’, from seeing it as the equipment return location on their end of lease return documents.

ALS has contracts with most of the major leasing companies as their designated lease return location. A steady stream of equipment arrives at the ALS loading dock each day. “We never know what will show up,” states general manager Kevin Ebert. “Sometimes we get completely documented, well packaged, like-new equipment unloaded off freight forwarding semis. Other times, a local dealer’s van pulls up and rolls off a legacy machine with 10,000,000 copies and no paperwork. It keeps the staff well tuned to deal with every situation.”

The ALS staff is set up to receive, document, test, report and inventory each piece of equipment. Machines that are received without a lease number are immediately researched to discover ownership. ALS staff does a remarkable job of tracking down the missing information. Every piece of equipment that arrives and eventually leaves their warehouse is fully documented. Serial number, meter read, cosmetic condition, workability and availability are all tracked and available for real-time access on their Internet site www.alscopiers.com.

In addition to lease returns, ALS is always interested in having the opportunity to bid on any used machines that a dealer has in their inventory. Brad explains, “We buy from dealers all the time. Typically a dealer accumulates several random machines they take in on trade, they buy out the lease due to the high cost of return freight, they have more machines returned than is practical to try to resell or the used equipment is too large, too small or too old to profitably resell. ALS can put together a package deal to buy or consign all of them.”
