Parker S0881470 Quink Rollerball Pen Refills, Medium Point - Pack of 2, Black Ink

Received two single packs instead of a dual pack, and there in big letters on the bottom - only to be sold in Nepal, India. Missing the royal crest mark that from researching denotes that they are genuine. Epic fail Amazon, you should not be selling this if it is not for the UK market but more importantly don't appear to be the genuine product or the same as the photo portrayed on the website. I have returned them.

Sadly these are the almost-fake India made sub-standard versions of the product others have warned about elsewhere. There is a clumsy (and likely illegal) attempt to obliterate the warning that these are not supposed to be sold abroad. What I received was not the dual pack pictured, but two singles amateurishly sello-taped together back to back. Their performance is poor: a scratchy and interrupted flow: nothing like the classic Parker feeling. Simply awful: quite why they are an Amazon Prime product (which implies an endorsement) is a mystery.

Don't fit my parker pen, never had this problem in the past - shouldn't be happening with a genuine parker product, not even sure this is one. First refill was okay, but kept coming back out of the pen case mid sentence which is frustrating. I stuck with it, just replaced it with the second in the pack which is even worse. Now the end of the refill has come off and is stuck in the body of the pen, making the pen itself useless. Wouldn't care but I've had this pen for over a decade and have to throw it in the bin now.Don't bother buying these.

Someone has taken the time and effort to redact the above phase with marker pen. They've done quite a good job of it as well.As for the product - it seems alright. The ink is a bit heavier than the refill I was using before and as a result bleeds through even thick good quality paper.I hope the seller has paid import duties / vat required.

I have always loved using my Parker rollerball pen. The ink used to flow freely with the refills lasting a long time.The last 2 refills I have used including this one are manufactured in France and the quality has really deteriorated. When writing the free-flowing action of the refill is now scratchy with the ink flow intermittently stopping as if the refill is virtually empty.
