Pilot Iroshizuku Ink At Discount Prices

Recommended Posts

Heads up to fellow FPN members...Pilot Iroshizuku ink in 50ml bottles is selling for $15-18. USD in US Amazon store with free 2 day shipping for Prime Members. Contrast this with the usual circa $28. USD at most other online and brick & mortar stores in US. The ink is being directly shipped from Amazon US warehouses. No word of how long these discounted prices will be in effect.

Indeed. I get mine from Japan and prices are always between $11 and $14. Of course I have to factor in some shipping fees, but it still comes to considerably less than $28 per bottle.

Thats why you try to find some shops with free shipping. Often it's like buy 10000JPY of stuff. But a few extra bottles aren't that bad.

Just type Iroshizuku in "search" and the entire series comes up as a Prime item.

Good for you, EOC!

 

On the other hand, US members might be interested in Amazon US competitive pricing.

I often see these prices on ebay, but then shipping is ~$10 US which negates savings. Or to make it worthwhile, I'd have to buy lots of ink at once. Finally, I've heard that importing into the US, ink sometimes causes customs delays (though truth be told I've ordered some ink from Japan with no noticeable customs delay).

I was just able to purchase a bottle of Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu at Amazon using the Wikibuy add on for $12.99 with free shipping. :yikes:

So space and time are linked together. As we are looking across space, we are looking back in time. The further and further away those stars are the further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a star that is say six thousand years ago. Imagine somebody at that star looking at us They would be seeing us as we were six thousand years ago.

Fantastic! Thanks for the heads up!

Absolutely! If (when) I buy such inks I would go for 3 or 4 bottles at a time. The shipping goes up a bit but defrayed against the number of bottles it generally means I get each bottle for around $15 inclusive. Then again I'm not in the US so I cannot take advantage of the free Amazon shipping. On the other hand I've also had no delays or problems with customs on ink coming from Japan.

And I've recently discovered the smile.amazon.com option whereby Amazon donates a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charity. Prices are the same as amazon.com so if you're shopping there anyway you might as well benefit your favorite charity.

But their colors don't grab me, except for yamabudo,which I already own.

I meant JP as in Japan.

 

Also I always shop in Rakuten. Which is about 9 to 15 USD a bottle. And finding the sellers who has free shipping.

 

Also watch out if ordering from Amazon. They do not know how to package ink bottles. I remembered my last 3 bottles of Konpeki (sorry I have an addiction) all leaked one even shattered.

I agree that Amazon shipping, on occasion, leaves a lot to be desired. I've not had any problems but I just may be lucky. If any problems do occur, Amazon is very good about replacing or refunding.

Thanks, FrozenPen. Nice option.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
