Has anyone got a good supplier of these basic kits? I find them popular and I like the look of them, but my normal supplier has been out of stock for a month, and I can't see anyone online with them. (Pencraft usual supplier).

Does anyone know where they get supplied from in China etc, I can't see them on the likes of Alibaba either, but they must be greeting manufactured over there?

and yes, I know they are basic and cheap but they make decent pens that normal people buy!

Rizheng. PenkitsMall.com you will need to register, but it is done in a couple of days at the most.

Rizheng in China are the main supplier for almost all of the penkits-dot-whatever sellers, and almost all of the ebay sellers. They all buy the same kits as each other from the same place, then put their markup on it. There is nothing to stop anyone else buying them from Rizheng either. Just be aware that you will need to pay customs duty and VAT on the price of both goods and shipping when or shortly after they're delivered.

Thanks for advice, have registered and made an order, I think even with VAT and customs I will be cheaper than usual suppliers, maybe marginally, but I have gone xpress DHL so let's see if they live up to their 5 day promise! All good fun.

Glad you said "Almost"

I know a few that don't deal with them, However its getting harder to find one who isn't.

I have purchased from PKD recently, good response and good delivery. I may review the kit/supplier later on the forum..:thumbs:

I normally order from good UK suppliers or when requiring re-stock then its usually order from over the pond or direct from Dayacom.
