I think they have shaved off a pound or two atleast towards me within the EU, but it is still too much for a 10-30 pound order which is not something far fetched at all. Cultpens response was that it is a lot for a odd pen or so but not for bigger orders, so I dont think they'll change that any time soon. But who knows! Glad that they thrive, fascinating that there areAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-2864765522095913532010-05-08T07:15:16.556+12:002010-05-08T07:15:16.556+12:00We all have our own ideas about the best lead size...We all have our own ideas about the best lead size and grade so interesting to see what really sells. I guess Cult Pens information is indicative of (Western) people who take their writing seriously, but maybe including the mass school and office market would alter things. I think 0.7mm might pick up share - there's a lot of BICs out there. Probably 0.3mm would increase over in Asia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-55894670825447200452010-05-08T00:44:26.922+12:002010-05-08T00:44:26.922+12:00I got my Lamy CP1 MP from Cult among other orders....I got my Lamy CP1 MP from Cult among other orders. Yes £10 is expensive for shipping and has more than once stopped me ordering from them.

Nice to know some more about them. They have the fastest shipping department ever!
