1josh Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) The seller is buy.com through amazon. The price is $5.99 w/ free shipping. I just checked and other office supply stores have a set of 3 for $4.99 (on sale/ $9.99 original price). Amazon now has it for $6.09 FS w/ Prime. http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Retractable-Point-Black-1753178/dp/B002M1HNQ4/ref=sr_1_49?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1276960003&sr=1-49 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41M3sqZuknL._SS400_.jpghttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21exM0lbU-L._SS400_.jpg Edited June 19, 2010 by 1josh

biomajor Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Thanks a lot. I need lots of pens for school and ordered 2 boxes. Now, do I need red too? Better now, I use purple or Yellow to grade With my class, red would be tragic
debbieshops2003 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Thanks! I ordered black. Now trying to decide if I need red too. decisions, decisions.
biomajor Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I received mine today and only received 2 pens!! GRRRRRRR
1josh Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 Haha.. you were lucky!!! I only received one. I have sent an email to them. I will let you know what they say.
biomajor Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Haha.. you were lucky!!! I only received one. I have sent an email to them. I will let you know what they say. LOL I ordered 2 boxes I emailed them too, and I called them, but their phone reps are not helpful.
Deekayjo Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I only got one pen too! I emailed, lets see what happenes. Usually Buy.com is alright.
lis415529 Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I received mine today and only received 2 pens!! GRRRRRRR me too I emailed them so hopefully they can straighten this out
1josh Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 Ok... here it is... The customer service and response was better than expected. Looking at this item, unfortunately the UPC number we provided Amazon did not match what they had listed. Our UPC was for item PEN,SHARPIE, RECT,BK, but Amazon's listing linked to item Sharpie Pen Retractable Fine Point Pen, 12 Black Ink Pens. You may verify this discrepancy by reviewing your Buy.com invoice. This is definitely not the way we want to run our Marketplace store. We have requested our merchandising department to update the description for this item as soon as possible. In the meantime we will be removing this item from our Amazon listing. You do not need to return the product to us, or take any further action. Buy.com has issued a full refund of $5.99 to your original payment method. Your payment method and/or financial institution may need 1-2 business days to process payment. Unfortunately we will not be able to offer you the Sharpie Pen Retractable Fine Point Pen, 12 Black Ink Pens at this time. Your business is very important to us and again, we truly apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
debbha Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I think I'll save myself the headache...I had a feeling it was too good to be true....
1josh Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 I think the one offered by amazon for $6.09 is real. I think they dropped the price that day to be competitive and when I checked last they still had it.

debbieshops2003 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) I received ONE pen too....who do I email? That will take care of this? Amazon? Buy.com? Does anybody have an address? This is SO frustrating!!!! Thanks!!!! edit.... I ended up emailing them through "contact seller" on Amazon. Edited June 23, 2010 by debbieshops2003
vicloo Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Has anyone had any luck ordering from Amazon for the 6.09 price?
1josh Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 I took the chance and ordered it. Amazon would not have the same argument as Buy.com. I will let you know when I receive the box... or just the pen
biomajor Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I took the chance and ordered it. Amazon would not have the same argument as Buy.com. I will let you know when I receive the box... or just the pen LOL good luck!
AML Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Buy.Com shipping rocks! I ordered the set of 12 Sharpies yesterday afternoon and it arrived this morning. Notice I said "it", yep, I only got 1 pen. I emailed Buy.Com through Amazon, hoping they will send me the other 11 pens, but I have a feeling I will get a $5.99 refund. Hopefully, Buy.Com will resolve this problem without losing their customer's trust.
1josh Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 I went to check if Amazon had shipped my order I placed at the $6.09 price and when I checked if they still had this price I realized that they put this back up to $39.99. Yep... I hope they dont cancel my order. I am expecting a WHOLE BOX this time. BTW, estimated delivery is July 20th.
debbieshops2003 Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Yea....I noticed it went up. Should have jumped on the $6.09....but didn't. Oh well....Buy.com did send me an email that they will issue a credit for $6.51 (5.99 + tax) and I can keep the pen. Not a bad deal. I hope you get the box....let us know if you do.
1josh Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 ok... I have received a total of 12 pens in their box. I tried the one that was sent to me originally by buy.com and I do like the pen very much. I hope other people were able to take advantage of the $6.09 price. I think they are worth it.
ceeyahd1 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I just received 2 full boxes from Amazon. ok... I have received a total of 12 pens in their box. I tried the one that was sent to me originally by buy.com and I do like the pen very much. I hope other people were able to take advantage of the $6.09 price. I think they are worth it.
