SCHMIDT 4 Pack - Ball Point Refill - Black Ink Medium P900 Parker Style

Only just started using but appears to be fine.

UPDATE (September 12, 2024)It's been about 10 months since I received the refills and started using one. It finally got to the end of its ink after using it 5 days a week for those 10 months and filling a couple of notebooks. I replaced it with one of the others (I now have 2 remaining) and, like the first, it started writing immediately without any skipping at all. That's pretty good for a refill that's almost a year old without some kind of covering to prevent it drying out. During that year, I kept it in the small plastic bag that it arrived in, so maybe that was good enough. Raising rating to 5 stars.UPDATE (December 4,2023):Been a month with usage every day. Still writes properly with no skipping. Will update later, but for now, raising rating to 4 stars.ORIGINAL:These Schmidt P900 Medium refills with Black ink were ordered on October 10. The estimated delivery date was end of November to early December. They arrived November 2. Fairly surprised since they came from India (Sold By and Ships From chandnibazzar). Total cost was around $8.90 Canadian including shipping (about $2.22 each). They arrived in a package that said they were commercial samples with a total value of $2.00 USD.They arrived via air mail in an envelope containing a small plastic bag that looked nothing like the one shown on the Amazon description page (First picture is what I got, second is what is shown on Amazon). The first picture shows only three refills because the fourth is already in my pen.It fits the pen perfectly; loads and retracts properly. It started writing immediately without having to wait for it to warm up (it was sitting in the mail box with temperatures around freezing for a couple of days). It writes very smoothly with no skipping at all.I will update this review when it runs out; could take who knows how long since some of the 1-star reviews indicate they last anywhere between one day and three weeks, while other reviews do not indicate duration at all.

I was given a non working Defensive Tactical Pen with glass breaking ability.These did the trick and now I have an inexpensive, heavy, bulky pen that writes very well. ;-)

4 refills, in plastic open bag; Tips uncovered. Hope these are genuine Schmidt refills, they do seem to write well. Loose wrapping creates concern, so improve packaging.

great it works will

Lovely product
