Copics - Where to Buy in 2019

[binx]

So I've been practicing with my sadly neglected Copics. In the years of "I'll get to them later," many have dried out. I need a plethora of refills.

Yes, I know there's a Copic thread; looked at it - most info is years old. And most of the places I used to purchase (stamp stores, mostly) have quit/are quitting carrying them; it's hit-and-miss with their stock. We're on the backside of this craze, it seems.

So, here it is 2019, and with so many of the regular online stamp stores discontinuing (-ed) Copics, what reliable source would you go to buy refills? I'm guessing an online art store, do you have one you prefer? Decent prices?


TIA

I know a lot of my crafty friends buy them at Michael's with the 50% off coupons. Amazon also sells them, that's where I got the one pack I own lol.
I also see them at Expo or other stamping shows.

I get mine at Oozak.com and he has the refills too. Super fast shipping.

Thanks, both of you. Appreciate it.

I started w/Oozak. Great prices, but out of stock on a lot of what I need. That's what sent me to my other go-to all-purpose stamping supply stores which led to my conclusion that a lot of them are quitting carrying Copics (hit-and-miss on what they have in stock).

If I piece the different stores together, I can order most of what I need, but I was hoping for one source instead of multiple orders.

I was wondering of HL or Michael's carries refills, but I don't think so b/c I can't find them on their sites.

Recently, I ordered some Copics and refills from Markerpop and from ScrapbookPal. Both had great prices and quick shipping.

I've had good luck with refills through Ellen Hutson and Simon Says Stamp...and both offer discounts sometimes.

I have several art supply stores that I like. But I really like the little local stores the best. That said, I would recommend:

https://merriartist.com/

She has Copics of all types as well as refills. They run the same as Oozak...$5.85 each. I have bought many other supplies from her in the past, with great service.

Carpe Diem has a sale through Monday, $4.25 Sketch, $2.95 Ciao. Free USA shipping for orders over $35.

Dick Blick’s is great—especially if you want to order a whole bunch of a la carts colors at once. I’ve also gotten some great prices on EBay recently, choosing 10 colors out of various lots.

If you are not lucky enough to live in the US the cost can be crazy! I get my copics at my local art store.

Thanks for the heads up...is it difficult ordering from them? I’ve been stuck on the checkout page for 10 minutes now, just spinning and saying 'do not leave this page'. Is that typical?
Update...the page finally loaded, no other issues. Can’t wait to get my order!

I’ve never had any problems. Check your email and see if you have purchase verification there. Could be a java script that’s stuck.
