Iroshizuku Inks in the UK

February 9, 2014

It's going crazy cheap on Amazon uk at the moment, £13 - 18 a bottle. I have picked up 5 or more bottles one at a time as they drop below £15 to make sure I don't get hit with import charges. All from Santa-Trading in Japan, no problems with any of them.

I paid £15 through Amazon for my Ina-Ho (see elsewhere - anyone in the UK fancy a trade?). I have to say though it was poorly packaged. Just shoved in a padded envelope, so the box got a bit of a battering. They need to take some packaging lessons from TWD......

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I wanted to ask something in relation to this thread specifically. If (from the UK or Ireland) you ordered some inks from Santa Trading Japan through Amazon in either late January or early February of this year, have you received your ink? I placed an order with them over two months ago. The first order didn't arrive, so they kindly agreed to send another by a faster method.....that will be one month ago by the end of this week. I'm beginning to suspect that they have run out of it and haven't sent it to begin with. One missing package I can understand; but two? Has anyone had any problems like this with STJ?

I have ordered about 8 over the last 4 months, all arried within 2 weeks. Sorry to hear about your problems, let us know how it turns out.

They finally arrived! Seems there was a question over what it was in customs, they opened it and thought about it for a month and a half before sending it on to me.
