Michaels has a decent variety and you can use a coupon. Look for "pick up in store" specials on their website too. They will sometimes have up to 40% off your entire order.
you might also try Jerry's Art O Rama in southern California; I get emails from them all of the time with sales and discounts. you might try Dick Blick too for special pricing. you also might consider using coupons each week from Michaels and buy a small set with their 40%/30%/whatever discount they have that week.

I bought the only copic at Michael's yesterday that was on my list with a 50% coupon.
Rest of the copics I want are not available for instore pick up,online purchase only.

there's a new online store in Dallas called Violeta Ink. I haven't purchased yet but the owner is a Copic coloring expert. I'm going to place an order soon!
Most of the sites listed sell Copic sketch for $5.85 a marker. Simon Says.. does not but if their special is good, they have some good stuff there. I usually order from Blick because I can get watercolor blocks and Xyron refills at the same time. The shipping is free over $45.

I've ordered from Merriartist.com, and they are wonderful! Same price - $5.85, but if you spend $50 on Copic markers, you get 5% off. If you spend $100 on Copic markers, you get 10% off. Free shipping. The best deal and wonderful costumer service from a family-owned business.
I used to buy from oozak but a couple of years ago his free shipping level went to $69 and it took longer to receive my orders. Now I buy from Dick Blick and have been satisfied with the pricing, the free shipping starts at $35 and the delivery time is the same as oozak.
I have purchased most of my Copics and refills from ScrabookPal, they offer the best prices. They changed shipping method and now they are much slower than they used to be (even before COVID) and their minimum free shipping has doubled from $25.00 to $50.00 so I am not happy about that (most other sites have either dropped their minimum or stayed the same because of COVID).
I've bought a lot of mine from Oozak.com and they have wonderful customer service!
I wish I could agree. I bought most of my Copic markers from Oozak.com in the past. But I will be hesitant to order from them going forward. I ordered something from them in May and it was missing a piece. I sent an email to their customer service and never received a reply. Very disappointing.
I have ordered a lot of Copies from carpediemmarkers.com. Fast shipping and good prices. They put them on sale often. Sign up for their emails and you will hear about the sales.
I have ordered from this site for quite some time and ordered my last almost 50 or more Copic’s from them. They have been amazing! Best price as well. If she thought I ordered something incorrectly, I was always contacted. Fantastic service.
I bought mine years ago from various sources so I mostly buy refill ink now. Jerry's Artarama has the best price on the refill inks. Their marker prices are usually the same as the lowest prices from other sources so they are very competitive. But, if you hit a sale somewhere, you can occasionally find cheaper then them. Art Warehouse Supply has a big sale once a year -- I think it's in October. Here's their link:
I have purchased my first ones in sets from Michaels using either a 50 or 60 percent off coupon. Then I have bought individual ones from Jerrys Artaram online. Also, Only One Life Creations sells them Buy 3 get 1 free right now for a limited time. Please note they are running out of colors but is the best buy right now. There is free shipping over $125 on that site.

Cheryl, you are right, they are a little gem of an art store in small McMinneville, Oregon and one of my favorite places to shop in person when I lived there and now shop them online since I moved. I was surprised and happy to see you mention them!

I assume you live in the U.S where you can get better deals. Here in Canada, there's no such thing. I hear that Hobby Lobby is opening a store in Watertown New York where lots of Canadians go to border shop. Yahoooo! Between HL and Joann's, maybe we can finally get a decent deal! Of course, if you know anyone travelling to Japan.......

Dick Blick is another on line seller with excellent prices for Copics and they do ship internationally. However, the cost of shipping may offset your savings. At the bottom of their web site is shipping info and within that international is discussed, plus they also have an email where you can send specific questions. Might be worth checking out.

I have been buying Copics from Michael's when I get a 40% total online purchase coupon and I save up to buy enough to get free shipping. Has worked great so far!

I had a die missing from one of my orders from them, I sent an email, never got a reply but they did ship out the die quickly, maybe try another email?

Rusty Gorder, the owner of Oozak.com often states that the best way to reach him is to call. He says that many emails go to trash or spam and he doesn't see them. He's a good owner and is usually responsive.
I usually order from Dick Blick too. I bought a number of refills when the notification of the new ones were going to be made-I hope to be set for awhile. Fast shipping and great prices at Blick's!
Scrapbook Pal is having a sale today July 4th. 10% off of order with the code: JULY. Brings the price of Copic Sketch markers down to $5.27 each
Thank You! I kept getting reminders that I let items in my cart but did not receive this sale code.
Cart Complete!
I'm getting more copics
I'm taking Kit and Clowder coloring classes.
I promised myself I would not buy any more copics but I didn't have half the colors for the last 3 classes.
Now remind me next time I said no more copics!!!!
And yep still organizing my craft room!!

I've bought all of my Copics either from ScrapbookPal or Dick Blick. Both places sell individual markers.
If I were placing an order today, I'd go to Blick because ScrabookPal went up on their free ship minimum from $25 to $50. Blick usually has free shipping deals at the top of their home page like free ship over $35, something like that.
I have shopped with SBPal for over 10 years and NEVER had a wrong order or problem. OTOH, when I've ordered pens, markers, etc., Blick has occasionally sent me wrong thing but called them and they sent me out the correct items free of charge next day. Very nice customer service. Don't know about SBPal's because I've literally never had to contact them, lol.

Originally when I started looking into recommendations from this thread Dick Blick did not have all the colors I needed.
Scrapbook pal did, plus with the info received yesterday about scrapbook pal having a 10% off put all my markers less expensive, they had all my colors I wanted. And since these are for Kit and Clowder class I figured when the color I wanted was in the smaller size I think ciao they are called, I bought those to save additional money. So ya I went over the $50 mark to buy more copics.
And Stacy if you are reading this, just stop laughing at me!LOL
And I have all my extra craft money that is building up since "lock down", have to wear masks so not spending money on makeup, and malls are closed so I didn't buy any new summer clothes. I decided what the heck, buy more copic markers and join these coloring classes from Kit and Clowder. My big spend this summer besides Audio books.
