    Default Akkerman 60 ml Bottles Now Available

    I received an Akkerman Nieuwsbrief this morning; the 150 ml bottles are officially out of stock and no longer available. The 60 ml bottles are now available, in all of the 31 colors. Cost and shipping, as always, depends on country and weight. Each 60 ml bottle costs € 15. And of course Vanness pens have indicated they will also be offering these new bottles.

    Verbatim from the email re shipping:
    Indicative: 5 new Akkerman bottles outside Europe, eg to USA Canada Australia Japan China etc. comes at € 20, - Shipping cost. 6-14 new Akkerman ink bottles costs € 30, - and 15 up to 30 bottles (max) is € 50, - shipping. 30 bottles is the maximum number of bottles that we will fit in 1 carton/box.

    Well 14 is the magic number for group buys then, thanks for sharing the update on the new ink and shipping rates.

    Shipping cost just to Germany for 1 bottle is still 12.50 euro. That is unfortunate as well.

    I'm in for a group buy if anyone else is...I have some Voorhout Violet, but there's a couple other of their inks that I wouldn't mind having.

    I'd be interested in a group buy too. Maybe.

    Either 14 or any number between 23 and 30. Shipping cost per bottle works out to:

    30 / 14 = 2.14
    50 / 23 = 2.17
    50 / 30 = 1.67

    I suspect there'll be a GTA group buy.

    Arrived in 8 days to my door.

    5 bottles - $115 = 300 ml = .38 cents per ml
