Have a question,
Anyone order from Diamine direct from North America? How was the experience?
Cheers

I have and the service was great. There is a standard shipping of 5 pounds to the U.S., so it pays to order several bottles. The monthly specials of four bottles are reasonably priced. Also the 30ml plastic bottles.

I'm from Aus, not the States, but I have bought directly from them and second the comments above.
Its certainly a lot cheaper to get stuff (pens, inks, etc) shipped to Aus from the UK than the US.

Same here. From Aus, got the 4pack of small bottles plus free cartridge samples.

Just pulled the trigger on a bottle of WES Imperial Blue from Diamine direct. I was looking at Peartree pens but the shipping to Canada more specifically from Ann Arbour to Toronto was plain uncompetitive compared with ordering from the UK. Figure that one out considering I am four hours east down highway 401 from Detroit.

I ordered some Diamine directly, the 30ml size, and received them in 8 days, from Britain, well wrapped and intact.
Phil also sent a note when he shipped.
I am in a very rural part of the States, and suspect that more urban areas might get a turn-around in 5 days.
Beautiful inks.

My order arrived in California in a week, well-packed and in perfect condition. Very highly recommended.

Thanks.

Here you go:

My Imperial Blue landed this morning, loaded up my Pelikan M600, writes nice with it. Bill is really happy.

Hi Bill, Did CCRA nick you for taxes and fees?
I'm thinking of ordering the current special on Diamine's website for 10 bottles of blue ink for £50.00 and was trying to sort out final costs to see how good a bargin it would be.
