Cross8511-2 Refills for Ballpoint Pens, Medium, Blue Ink, 2/Pack (85112)

The first time I have had to buy refills for my favorite pen …. I had run out and now I am happy again!

The product is very straightforward. I needed to replace the ink in my pen and this worked well. It fits a variety of pen brands such as Cross or Tiffany. The ink was fresh and not dried out, the tube itself is sturdy and doesn’t bend, the design is simple and I’d use this again when I need a new refills for my pens. I have 2 pens, so the 2 refills were just what I needed. I bought black but there are a small variety of colors. I’d recommend this product especially if you can’t use gel pens because I can’t, as I press down very hard when I write. Smooth refills.

Great price,no leaks etc fits more than cross pens

Smooth writing.

Nice quality refill

Nice refills

Item is exactly as described, and meets expectations.

If you are looking for convenience and name brand 'reliability' then do not order these refills from Cross!I ordered them on a Thursday afternoon with next day prime delivery. The next day, late morning, the tracking said the refills had been shipped (!) which was followed by an update early afternoon saying 'received by carrier'. Later came a notice saying there was a delay at the shipper, and it would now arrive Saturday morning.Saturday morning I wake up to an email on my phone saying that my refund request on the Cross refill pack had been accepted. (I never applied for a refund!)The Amazon web site confirmed the refund 'request' had been accepted. Further digging said it was refunded because the carrier couldn't find my address, or I had refused shipment, or "other reasons - click on link". Following the link revealed other reasons as: lost or damaged in transit.This negative review isn't because this was inconvenient to my needs. The poor review is because I wanted to support the manufacturer, despite the imported refills having the same number of stars review, and supplying 5x the refills for a lower price, but with same day service. Cross may not have damaged or lost the refills, but they did select which carrier to use. For a premium price compared to their competition, one would expect them to select a reliable carrier - if in fact that is where the 'damage' occurred.
