Not a pen geek but I did buy some Jetstream Uni 0.5 pens (one of the pens in the lead photo on the article) on Amazon for me and my other half to use in our home office and they are very nice. Price wise it was less than £10 for 3 shipped from Japan - can't argue with that really.

This is a shame. I got through to payment and I am presented with ‘Due to recent changes in United Kingdom's tax laws, we can only accept orders over $200 USD to the United Kingdom at this time.’

Wonder what recent tax law changes they’re referring to?

It's to do with the recent changes to VAT e-commerce rules: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/ioss_en
Thanks!
