I am planning to order some but does anyone know their delivery times (shipped to Kolkata)? I will only be in the city for three weeks. Any retailers in either Delhi or Kolkata that might carry these inks, and Gama pens?

I received mine in 5 days in Pune

One week via Indian post parcel to kolkata.. I took deliveries in Kolkata. No problem just track down the shipment and then go in person when it reaches nearest post office in that way you can get it early .. No retailor for KRISHNA inks in Kolkata

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR INDIAN PENS .. IF YOU HAVE ANY KINDLY PM ME..

Dunno about anyone else, but

 

When they become more widely available, it would be exciting to have an ensemble set with all 28 colours. I like getting smaller bottles with more shades to play with :) Kinda like the kid who had the big box of crayons in school, I've never grown up!

 

Seriously, I see a marketing opportunity here. There will be a tipping point/sweet spot for shipping costs that will allow multiple bottles in one shipment. If those containers are modest sized, like the J Herbin ones, it would just be a matter of determining efficient quantity rates.

The Krishna Fountain Pen Inks now ship internationally :D http://bit.ly/KrishnaInks

Placed my order. THanks for providing this link!

However I fear this may be a one-off - Shipping was 150% of the cost of inks! Crazy and I don't think I'll repeat it, however nice the inks turn out to be.

So

 

24€ for shipping.... ouch. But will order anyway :D

Some higher power doesn't want me to have Krishna inks... the personnel was very kind and helpful, yet my first shipment leaked for mishandling ending up their carrier to refuse sjipping any more international parcels (of liquids) and India doesn't post liquids by default so I'm afraid this is the end of their international shipping... :(
Had to heal my bleeding heart with a bag of Diamine inks but I'm still mourning for my Krishna inks :(

Will it help to tell you I'm in the exact same boat? Someone at the shipper caused my package to leak and now they can't ship any liquids internationally anymore... and regular mail doesn't, either. And I was so fired up about finally getting these Krishna inks! Augh! :yikes:

Except to the US of A, it seems. That is the one option they say is still open.

I hope I am not being premature in optimism BUT tonite I tried numerous times to order this ink from the link provided in a previous post & was never able to select any country except India for shipment. Yet I received an email acknowledging my "successful registration @ the site," & replied I had registered in hopes of ordering but had been unsuccessful.

 

Moments later I received a reply that encouraged me to "try again," which I did & was able to order the ink. I have since received a confirmation e-mail which was very thorough to confirm my color choices & assure the shipment would be assembled shortly.

 

I am VERY impressed by the service of this site & although the shipping is expensive, the ink is so very reasonable that it is not a problem. It is not often that inquiries are handled in such a professional manner & it is so encouraging when they are. Imagine getting to actually try these inks we have been drooling over!

 

(My response also said they were currently shipping to both the US & UK.)

On the contrary: I hope I am not being premature in pessimism when I say it's a matter of time when they stop shipping anywhere outside India unless they find out a bomb-proof packaging to avoid damage and leakage.

Obviously, the weak link is their packaging as we see it has failed twice already (that I know of).

However, I must confirm their super-extra kind and helpful attitude again!

Their ink is reasonably priced and customer service is superb...

I think their new packaging is almost leak proof

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
