Took 2 weeks in processing time as they did not have stock on hand and had to get it from a supplier. I was a little disappointed that this was not transparent on their website. However the quick shipping made up for it! The pen did not come in the packing you would expect when buying directly from sailor, no plastic sleeve, no tag on the clip and no converter (as it’s a special addition it should have come with one). That being said it’s still genuine and subpar packaging is expected in the pen grey market. For the price I payed to was good value but I did notice they raised the price after my purchase.
