Hi all. Im looking for a kind soul in the US to order me a relatively low value item and ship to me in the UK. It’s just pen refills. I’ll pay all costs upfront. Can anyone help?

Thank you all, in advance.

What pen refills? Have you trioed Cult Pens? They have a huge selection and will also check compatibility for your pen from their stock cartridges:

Thanks. Yes I’ve used that site before but the Itoya refills I’m looking for are discontinued. After hours of searching I managed to source them online from only one website but they only ship to the US.

No probs, I came across a similar issue a few years ago with my wife's long discontinued obscure Swiss pen, they were brilliant

If you were to be very specific about what you want, it is quite possible that it may also be available in countries other than just the USA.

Eg. Itoya refills are available on eBay for shipment to the UK, and are also available here in Canada. Dunno if there's only one kind of Itoya refill or not though.

Thank you. Unfortunately it’s one specific refill that’s discontinued. I can get other Itoya refills without issue but I need a GPR-7BP. Out of stock everywhere but one place!

So, this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/281361005261?_skw=Itoya+GPR-7BP
(has worldwide shipping options)

EDIT: Oh, despite my explicit search terms, it seems to be AQR rather than GPR.
But also claims to be compatible (?)

Ah.. different writing quality, I see. Not really a pen expert myself.

I cannot find anywhere on the planet, let alone just USA, that has those specific cartridges in stock. One online shop FCI-Tech claims to have them, but very likely doesn't based on other reviews of the company.

That’s the shop I found. I didn’t get as far as checking reviews, just excited it said in stock. I’ll have a further look into them before giving up.
