Zebra Pen 12225 Ball Point Pen, Blue, 24 Pack

Pen writes too much bold not easy to grip and plastic quality and refill quality not par of us standard

These don't seem to be genuine Zebra pens. They came in a clear cello taped plastic bag rather than in a branded Zebra bag as they are sold in in high street shops/supermarket. Some pens have bits of fibre sticking out from under the rubber grip and the black plastic bit at the top is faded and scratched inside the clear plastic casing as if it's been forced into it. All seems to indicate they've been put together in a diy kind of way. Each has a silver bar code sticker on which shop bought pens don't. Again, it looks like stickers have been stuck on by hand. The white brand writing is blurred and is thicker than on shop bought pens. See the photo (Amazon pen on the left, shop bought pen on the right). They appear to be fake and won't be buying them again. They do, however, seem to work and will do for my kids to use at school. Very disappointing though.

I ordered these as the one day all I could find in the house was one black ballpoint pen which ran out. Mum gave me another Christmas day. Then i came onto amazon to buy some and I saw these Zebra rubber gripped black ink retractable ball point pens, and £2.99 for 12 pens was an absolute bargain with Cree deliver6: Comfortable rubber grip stops pen slipping. Smooth flow of ink for neat handwritingvor note taking. And fully retractable to protect the ball point. I have them scattered about the house as I'm a keen on arrow words and cryptic crosswords. Would highly recommend you snatch a pack of these up for the price. Always handy to have in incase your like me and can never find a pen In the house!

I do a lot of crosswords to pass the time and keep my mind active and bought this box to ensure I had a ready supply of biros. These were the wrong ones to buy. Each pen lasts only 10-14 days and then needs renewing even though there looks to only have been maybe a quarter of an inch of ink gone from the tube!! DO NOT BUY

Ive been using these pens for a while now and the last 2 orders of a box of 12 has not been great? The ink is NOT black? It's more like its running out and it's more a faded grey? My current pen is half full I can see and writes in a faded light grey. Not ideal!! (I've added a photo to show the comparison using another brand pen in black).

Pens that actually write smoothly and don’t leak. Hand didn’t hurt after writing for hours.
