KrystynI kind of hate how you have to click the "join drop" button to see the shipping rates, and what I would pay for shipping here in the US might well not even cover custom duties in Poland.
My trick for worry-free clicking is to simply never leave a credit card number on any profile. Sometimes, if I have become very comfortable with a merchant and their site, I might do it, but by "comfortable" I mean if I had a problem, I would get in my car, drive to the shop, and ask for the mgr/owner by name, and have him or her help me. For larger, entirely online retailers like MD or, say, Amazon, I never save my card number to my profile. Yes, that means entering it each time, but I have it memorized now, so that's hardly a bother. And even before that, it was worth it to be sure I wasnt going to be charged no matter what I clicked. No card # (or linked PayPal account) = no charge.
I have two Dude fountaina pens from a previous drop. They look great and have a good weight. The nibs are quite dry and a bit scratchy. If I knew anything about adjusting nibs I would, but they’ve been sitting in a drawer for at least at year or two.

choiceweb0pen0There are a couple of neat videos on Youtube on how to adjust the nibs for better ink flow. Check on the ones by Goulet Pens
I had a lot of issues with mine right out of the package. The ink flow was so poor on my Giza and Jazz that they were unwritable. I had to spend hours adjusting them and the flow is still very inconsistent. I have bought low quality/cheap pens before, but nothing like this. My Tache writes fine with minor adjustments though.
