I found this site earlier today. It doesn't have a great selection, but what it does have is really inexpensive (the $5 jap dr grips and $2 airfits are what stood out to me). No free shipping, but its not too bad because it's really cheap (only $2, but an extra buck for every 50g over 50g).
This seems almost too good to be true to me
so i was wondering if anybody has already used it or something, and was it a good or bad experience?...

seems funny to me...
Especially since they stole the pictures from this Winning Pen eBay Store
Winning pen:
stationeryart:
And on their facebook they only have 6 friends... lol
Seems kinda sketch, although it looks like they support Paypal, so no risks.
I might order once i look through all the supplies.
EDIT:
They don't have a lot really, these "jap dr.grips" that you're talking about aren't the correct kind.
They only carry G-specs, and dr.grip ballpoints(which are next to useless)
As well, as I look through the pages, I see more and more stolen pictures from eBay, leading me to question the validity of the site. -

Haha stevie got pwnt
But thanks for trying
jk
Well, then I assume it's trustworthy?
Are the prices on his ebay store or website cheaper? I'm too lazy too look >.<
EDIT: Okay, I took a looksee and there are actually some pretty good deals on there.
For instance, the Dr Grip G-specs are a lot cheaper than I can find on ebay..and on ebay its usually like tax for each pen. Dang I wish I had discovered this before I bought my school Dr. Grips >.>
And those airfits..really a bargain.
They also have airfit gels. Anyone wanna check those out and weigh them so we can finally get a solid answer ploxz? -

O, haha touche. I didn't see that bit.
If their shipping is anything like their eBay store, it certainly over-rides for their low prices.
EDIT: yup, just did a test run, Shipping for a single $2,45 airfit: $2 minimum. -

well yea, if you only buy one thing its not gonnna be much of a bargain...
but for example you buy 2 airfits, thats 4.90 plus the 2 dollar shipping (it doesnt exceed 50g, so no extra) is only 6.90, which is less than 2 airfits from penwish, not even including shipping..(im not undermining penwish or anything, just an example) -

2 airfits is 60g...
pens weight a lot each... this pretty much makes the shipping at least, 1$ per item you buy... so the prices never really level out.
Especially if you are to buy more than 25$ of stuff, which qualifies for free shipping from penwish.
Another thing to think of is shipping time/border fees.
These items are all coming from China, minimum shipping from China is 9 days (for the cheaper price)
and with going over the border, thats at least a 2 week wait, nevermind if you it comes that you have to pay border fees.
Lesson: For fast, friendly service, make sure to visit Penwish.com! haha -

Well, you have a point with the shipping time and i dont really know anything about border fees...
but even though the pens are above 50g, its not extra since its not a whole 50g above 50g.
and i agree, penwish is the ideal place to order stuff
i was just asking about a potential site to order from, whether it would be good or not so much. and if the border fees or whatever are really that bad, i guess not so much.
