Ordering this same order from the manufacturer's website directly costs 16.12 GBP, which is $23.23 USD. Where are the savings exactly???

andrewboktorDiamine is a UK company, so if you're located there you can get them cheaper directly or through a UK reseller. Here in the US they are more expensive.

andrewboktorEven after the £5 shipping, plus the wait, it comes out cheaper due to the current exchange rate. Plus the fact that from Diamine you get an additional 5 ml ink sample? No brainer, go direct to Diamine's website!

AjarslanShipping is £10. Total comes out to $30.49. Factor in that Paypal/Bank will charge you a foreign transaction fee and its almost the same. Not worth the hassle of setting up yet another shopping account. Also, I don't have to worry about overseas shipping troubles; I've had some unhappy experiences in the past.

TherocAdd 5 30ml bottles of ink to your shopping cart. Remove the free sample bottle from your cart, this will drop your shipping to 5 GBP. Now select "Rest of the world", which will remove another 2.** GBP in VAT. Total should be 16.12 GBP which is $23.23 USD. I have made this exact order a couple of months ago, got my ink pretty quickly with zero hassle.

andrewboktorLOL. Free ink sample comes out to almost the price of two bottles. You're absolutely right. And Paypal checkout mutes my argument about hassle too. I stand corrected.

andrewboktorThank you! I saw your note during the last few hours and took advantage of it. Saved $18.60 CAD by switching. I'm still waiting for my previous order of different inks -- hasn't even arrived at the warehouse after 5 wks.
