Review on STAEDTLER Pigment Liner Bonus Sketch Set: Get 6 Liners for the Price of 4 (2 free)! 308 SB6P by Nicole Mcleod

I was very pleased to find these pens for sale at Revain. They are listed and seem to be sold by the manufacturer Staedtler. I wasn't expecting to have to wait six weeks for a pen and then get a small box from Thailand that appears to have been hand wrapped and labeled (a bit dingy and the boxes with the handles inside are a little wrinkled but they look different (Good .) Outside the postal package wrapped in brown paper there was green tape around it which was nice.) I was disappointed when I opened the package and found that instead of a box with 0.05mm and 0.2mm handles, which I ordered, two boxes (obviously not labeled for sale in the US) grips 0.05mm. I sent a return/replacement request to the actual sender, a company called .Blue, although the name on the return label is a personal name and appears to be a home address in Thailand. It all came together and I was getting a little apprehensive so I opened the boxes to see/check if the pens were genuine. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that one of the 0.05mm boxes was filled with 0.2mm buttons (the other was 0.05mm as the label said); and that the pens (I only tested one) look and feel really authentic, made in Germany, brand new high quality Staedtler pigment inlays. Not sure what's going on here (or why anyone in Thailand refills Staedtler boxes), but relieved I got what I needed to complete my project! I'm not giving the five stars I normally give these pens because I'm uncomfortable with the odd circumstances (and it was a long wait - it could have been explained in the description but I didn't notice and wasn't prepared for when I ordered), but I actually got what I ordered, and the Staedtler pigment liners are great pens - and those specific sized boxes are hard to come by, at least here in California.
