Wow! That is amazing! I love all these FPNers grabbing bottles for each other. Talk about a helpful bunch. :D

You are all lucky that you can ask other members to pick things up for you and reliably send them to you. :)

The last one I asked destroyed my PayPal account.

I know! Ain't it cool? Hee hee

 

Thinking about it, I guess you could call me your Personal International Ink Courier - if I can bring myself to hand over your two bottles when I get back to Blighty ;-)

That was a dang fast trip.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I am not affiliated with this listing, but it caught my eye. I already have one on its way from DCSS, but I'm sure someone else will pounce:https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/classifieds/item/35360-sailor-omaezaki-sea/

I could be wrong (as it's middle,of the night here and I'm half asleep), but isn't that bottle Omaezaki Sky?

Oh, perhaps it is! Now it does say "Sky" in the title but the URL still shows "Sea," so perhaps it was edited after I first saw it.

Yeah, I actually jumped on it thinking it was sea. I then messaged him saying that its actually sky.

Those who hurt me were not only someone else,

but also those who pretended not to notice. It was my friend.

Sorry for the false alarm, everyone.

Two things.

 

First, have you seen that noodler's has also had bottle issues?

 

Bung Box now has several, 8 I think, colors in the standard Sailor ink bottles on their website but they cost a whopping 50% more than their previous bottles of ink.

Bungbox does offer worldwide shipping which is supposed to resume in October, but I won't be ordering before December.

 

Does pen and message also offer worldwide shipping? Took a quick look and didn't see anything on it.

 

Nagasawa Kobe can be obtained through Rakuten.

 

So my problems of getting a complete sailor collection should end as soon as I get more info about pen & message shipping.

Last I knew, Pen and Messenge only ships within Japan.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Alright, now I need to find someone who can buy it for me and then forward them to me.

 

Edit: thank you for the info.

I don't understand something, what's the point in having a store exclusive ink when an ink exclusive to a Japanese store is kept by a store in US? Am I missing something?

Vanness stocks inks that will ship internationally - most of the exclusive inks are from shops in Japan that do not. So Vanness is merely retailing what any of us could go on line and purchase, and saving us a few bucks in shipping costs. Most of these small shops in Japan do not even have web sites - you can only get it through the courier services or be lucky enough to know someone who lives there and can / will obtain and ship it for you.

 

I talked with Vanness today and apparently there will be no Sweet Potato Purple this fall because of the bottle issue. That, if true, is a sad thing indeed!

FYI: Vannness added (today?) to their BungBox inventory the following inks:

 

88 New Tea Green

Armour Black

Omaezaki Lapis Lazuli Sky

 

How curious! Will more follow? :huh:

 

 

I wonder if they somehow took the stuff Bungbox couldn't sell at DCSS.

 

And what a bummer about Sweet Potato Purple! I'm very glad I managed to get mine last year.
