stonezebra Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks to the OP who let us know about this opportunity! My order of two inks arrived yesterday (about a week from ordering) in good shape. Haven't got an empty pen to ink yet but will try to post a picture as soon as I do.

ander75it Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yama - Dori is now out of stock @ Atsu and will likely be back at the end of May. Ander @= My FPs and Inks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomthinks Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I am starting to get worried. Mine shipped on 3/18, tracking showed it in Tokyo on 3/19, and nothing since then. I live in MI, and was hoping it'd be here by now. Atsu told me approximately 10 days, and it has been 12, but I was hoping to see something via the tracking. It isn't like I have nothing else to occupy my time, but I have been looking forward to this ever since I saw the photos of the old yama-dori.

Maybe you could try some other tracking services, like 17track or trackonline and see if there is anything more there. But I'd say it is nothing unusual so far. - Attila ...Instagram... | ...flickr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually postal services don't work on the weekends, so when he says 10 days, he means 10 *business* days. If it shipped March 18th, today is the 10th day. I wouldn't start worrying just yet! http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/261536-about-my-reviews/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeamigos Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 OK - mine arrived today in great shape. Took a bit of navigating through Michigan, but well worth the wait. I went with Yama-Dori, Shigure, and Miruai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you're there, you should check out the Athena Inks, which are made for Maruzen by Sailor. Eternal Blue is beautimous.

I picked that and one of the Greens up in the Maruzen in Tokyo, I already had a bottle of the Sepia. Next ink journey will be for Bung Box inks...and I am particularly interested in the Bird and Bug series just released...picture attached from a different thread but I can't link from my phone...

They only sell that online in a case of a dozen so it'll be worth trying to buy a bottle in the store. Those "bird & insect" ink swatches are the 5th Anniversary range I bought from Kingdom Note. They're really different to the usual Sailor bespoke colours. I like them. Verba volant, scripta manent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ander75it Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I got this from an Italian shop: Looks like they are going to be available in June here as well. Enjoy Ander @= My FPs and Inks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomthinks Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 10 days after first starting to worry, my suspicions are getting firmer. No package. The only info tracking has is that it left Japan on 3/19. Zilch since then. Atsu and I are trying to work both ends, but I have no confidence that it will turn up. Lost in the %^&*(%^&*!!! ether, apparently. This is the first time I have ever lost an international package, and it irritates. I was looking forward to this, probably disproportionally so.

migo984 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) TIPI've got a few of these inks and I noticed a date stamp on the boxes, which I suspected were Use By dates. Mine are 14-2-17 and 14-2-19, but one box had 14-2-13 on it. I was worried that this last bottle was one of the left over orignal production run and was therefore expired. I checked with Atsu and he reminded me that in Japan their date format is YY-MM-DD. And these are the production dates of the ink. Duh - silly me! PS I'm in love with Oku-yama Edited April 10, 2014 by migo984 Verba volant, scripta manent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomthinks Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well, I am pretty much giving up on my shipment of Yama Dori from Atsu. Atsu reports that the Japan Postal Service indicates the package has certainly left Japan. The US Postal Service indicates it has never entered the United States. I guess it is on that isalnd with Tom Hanks in Castaway. @^$% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeje3325 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sorry to hear that, I can feel your pain.I've been waiting for 5 weeks for a bottle of Yama-budo bought on Amazon.ca. I just sent an email to the seller, a little over 5 weeks is just too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
