Over at Amazon.ca just now, there’s a pretty fab deal on this pack of 12 fine uni-ball roller pens, in the colour blue. Originally priced at $27.12, they’re only $6.16 with free shipping just now! That actually works out to cost $0.51 per pen, for this good quality set of writing implements.
(NOTE: when you click through above, you may see a higher price. Click on the "7 new from $6.16" link on Amazon's page, and you will see the $6.16 price. I cannot seem to get this post to direct link to that listing!)
The reason these pens come with free shipping even though they’re under the normal $25 threshold from Amazon.ca, is that they are being sold by a marketplace seller. Now, we don’t usually write about marketplace offers here on the Bargainmoose blog, only if there happens to be a particularly good deal. Caveat Emptor though – the seller only has ONE single rating on Amazon, so I really cannot say how fast or good the customer service is going to be. They do seem to ship from New York, so shipping won't be super-fast.
But, if you’re not happy with your purchase or you have any issues… you’re still buying through Amazon whose customer services are excellent. If anything happens, you just drop them a line and they will sort it out. I’ve always found Amazon’s customer services to be excellent, as have many other people all over the world, including this dude on Imgur who pretended to be Thor. For the sake of $6, I think it’s worth taking a chance on these pens.
I’m not really going to do a comprehensive price comparison as this is such a low value item, but you can see that the likes of this similar set of 12 pens on Staples is coming in at $7.29, but you’d have shipping on top of that, there’s no free shipping on it.
Want to hear something weird? My partner cannot use blue pens. When he does, he claims they make him feel nauseous. What a weirdo, eh?
