Thread: Help needed with Tombow rollerball refills

    Help needed with Tombow rollerball refills

    I have around 6or7 of these pens that I want to buy refills for but no way in hell am I paying £3.50 per refill when in mainland Europe they are only €2 each.

    Anyone know of a UK seller that is nearer to European price?

    Not exactly close to the euro price but ......£3.19 each free delivery if you’re over £10

    Thanks

    Just got an email from George my watch repairer in Berlin. Says the shop near him has them and can send some over when he sends my Seiko Giugiaro back. I may as well stock up.

    Can you not buy right from Tombow Europe?

    I wasn't familiar with that brand so I looked them up, $2.10 per refill here in the US.
    Either the .3, .5 or the .7
    Why so expensive in the UK?

    Yes, I could but this is why I don't

    "Deliveries to foreign countries:

    We charge a lump sum shipping cost for deliveries to foreign countries as follows:

    Frankreich (France): 15,00€
    Niederlande (Netherlands): 15,00€
    Luxemburg (Luxembourg): 15,00€
    Belgien (Belgium): 15,00€*"

    If its that much to them, imagine across the water to UK

    Ever heard of the term "Rip off Britain" ?

    eg
    I once wanted to buy a Mountney steering wheel for my VW Beetle. It's a UK brand BUT it was cheaper by £10 order it from USA , ship it AND pay the taxes than to buy it outright in the UK
