Hey guys,

 

Does anyone know where I can pick up a Lamy 2000 (for less than $200) in Canada? I live in the Greater Toronto Area and shipping/customs/exchange rate coming in from the US is expensive. I've seen some retailers charge $200+ for a Lamy 2000 and that is out of my price range right now but I am dying to get my hands on one.

Any suggestions?

I suggest buying from overseas and having it shipped via registered mail to avoid import duty surprises. If you look at some European websites and remove the VAT it can be had for around $150-no-tax. My fav Lamy places are Appelbloom and Fontoplumo though I don't remember which one I got my 2000 from. I would recommend US sites but the exchange rate kills the deal. All the best!

Great service from CultPens in Devon, UK, and £124 + VAT. (No affiliation, just a regular and happy customer of theirs.)

Ok, I did a little checking... Unfortunately the running low on a L2K is around US$125 and that's from Amazon and shipping and import gets messy. Do you travel to Buffalo / Niagara? For $2 you can have it shipped there and pick it up in your pocket

All great ideas everyone, thanks for pitching in and helping me out!

That's the downside of being in Canada where FP are not very prevalent.

www.Stylo.ca is an online vender that does carry Lamy 2k at $199.00 CDN so it just meets your request.

Have bought many a pens from them, good service.

Amazon.ca sometimes has them for just under $200 and free shipping if you have prime. They might even drop every once in awhile.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
