I am just getting interested in fountain pens (watches are my usual vice) and would, as the topic title suggests like a VP, can anyone provide me with details of a reputable seller from whom I can get one and have it delivered to the UK, I think they are somewhat overpriced in the shops here (like everything else).

Many thanks in advance

If you use Paypal, I'd get it from Ujuku . It's the Capless - 94 USD for the bread and butter version, plus about $15 for airmail postage. Just search on Ujuku for some testimonials on these forums. Just place the order on the website, they will send a Paypal invoice to the email address used. Can take between 5 -10 days to arrive in the UK. I've used them twice and never paid any import duty (even on a Bamboo costing $184).

Or try Cult Pens at www.cultpens.com

OK they are UK based but their service is excellent and £75 (with free postage) is a good price if you don't want the risk of having to pay up VAT, import duty and Royal Mail's handling charges.
