Hi I was doing some reading on Amazon dot jp (Japan) tonight because I wanted to see if they had any cool pens I can use in my planner. They make a lot of great pen products there i.e. Copics, Frixion, Kokuyo, Tsukineko, etc. I came across the pen set that I ordered from Amazon.ca and this is what I found
www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003R7ZVF2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
and this
www.amazon.co.jp/Pilot-FriXion-Erasable-Assorted-Colors/dp/B018TCJI4O/ref=sr_1_137?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1453610636&sr=1-137&keywords=frixion
These are the same sets. The Japanese Amazon site is selling my $30 pen set for $152 Canadian. My pen set shipped FROM Japan, too. I can't believe this. I mean I do believe it seeing how I lived there for so long, but this is highway robbery! I could see paying maybe $50 (or 5000 yen) but over $150? Really? That's a scam!
