As with all Diamine drops, pretty terrible deal for EU folks.
It's literally cheaper for me to buy 2 of these inks from the local arts and craft supplies store whenever I'd like than to join this drop and wait at least a whole month to get them. And that's without even considering the shipping cost for this drop .....
Oh, and it's even cheaper for me to order online than to buy it from said local store soooooo ... Yeah I could probably get almost 3 of these inks from an online retailer for the price of this drop for a 2-pack.

TimmyfoxIt’s a pity the drop isn’t good for everyone. The Anniversary inks seem to be priced at $15.50 or thereabouts in the US. That’s why this drop seemed good to me.
I think it’s good the community lets people know when a deal can be bettered.

Misfit1876It makes sense that the deal is great for people in the Americas and terrible for people in Europe/Asia. Diamine is based in Liverpool, England, so Massdrop would be purchasing the inks in bulk and shipping them to the USA. Normally, Diamine inks are much more expensive when purchased individually from American companies because of the additional cross-pond shipment cost that people in Europe don't have to pay. If Massdrop can buy the lot for the European wholesale price and then bulk ship them all here at once, it can bring the price down significantly lower tham we Americans are used to paying.
Europeans, however, can skip down to the local office supply store and buy a couple of bottles without any group buy discounts for less cash than we could ever hope to pay... unless we happen to grab a couple bottles during a European vacation.

TipsyMacScotchslurpenThat makes sense. We pay more for Pelikan pens here, and probably more than I’m aware of. The inks I picked are very nice. I like both colors.
