Is "japan Pen" Legit?

[TassoBarbasso]

Hi Guys,

 

anyone has experience buying from www.japanpen.com? Is it a legitimate dealer, or am I going to get some Chinese fakes?

 

Their prices seem too good to be true, especially for Pilot Blue-Black ink: USD 21 for a 350ml bottle? I've spent GBP17 for a 70ml one, last time I bought one. This is 5 times more and costs practically the same... mmmmmmh....

 

Cheers,

Fabio

Hello Fabio,

 

I've never dealt with them, but I think you'll find your answer reading this older thread... their rep seems sketchy at best:

Thanks! I tried doing a search by "japan pen" but FPN gave me gazillions of results, of course, all of which were not related. I didn't think of searching by "japanpen.com"
