Thank you very much! Yes, I would encourage you to order from Amazon if you can find our product on it. 🙂 By doing so, you can get faster local shipping and maybe free shipping if you have Prime membership. 🙂 I hope you have received your brush by far and enjoy using it. It would be lovely if you could share your feedback with us so that we will know where to improve.
Thanks a lot for your message! Normally we have free shipping to North America for orders over $150. However, during the covid-19, we have increased the free shipping bar to $200. The brush has a free handling fee; so you will only pay base postage. You can always find me and let me know how to assist you personally via our contact page: https://www.inkston.com/inkston-oriental-arts-materials/contact-us/
I understood during these months, all seems confusing. The good news is we are resuming our logistic service quality since this middle of June. 🙂
a lovely speciality brush
This is a lovely stiff brush with long bristles. I liked it enough that I ordered another so that I would have one for ink and one for watercolor. Not the first choice for a beginner or for someone who is able to purchase only a few brushes but a lovely speciality brush.
