It is a grab bag sort of service catering to world wide stationery products that normally would not be available to people in the US or other countries depending on where the R&H people are traveling to hunt for stationery. It is something like Lost Crates but you know what you are getting. That is, if you don't go for the "Rad Bag". Then you try your luck. It costs less than half of what Lost Crates does and you do not have to subscribe. I tried it but with the "Rad Bag" which is $12 USD plus shipping. It took a while to arrive. Ordered on February 23rd and it arrived on the 9th of March. No real fountain pen related stuff included. Here is what I received:

For $12 it is not too bad. Out of everything, I like the sketch book, pencil holder, and devider tabs the best. I will probably give the rest to my daughter. It may be a little steep for the what you are getting but you are also funding the sourcing trip. If anything, it may be a good way to try notebooks I might not otherwise get to try. I am eying the Spain kit for the notebook included.
