Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate FlexGrip Ultra Retractable Ballpoint Pens. We&rsquo;re sorry to hear that the pens are not writing, especially across multiple boxes. We understand how frustrating that is, particularly when you were expecting them to work right away for use at work. To help improve performance, please try clicking each pen a few times to ensure the tip is fully extended, then scribble on scrap paper with firm, steady pressure to help restart ink flow. If these steps do not help, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! PaperMate&reg; Consumer Care

Hello, the Paper Mate Flexgrip Ultra 1.0 M is my favorite pen. Because of the great waste in the world I would like to have refill's for this pen. It's a shame to throw away the entire pen if only the inkcartidge is empty. Are refills available?

Because there are no refills and Paper Mate is not listening to our request, I stopped buying Paper Mates.

You used to make this pen in purple. It was my absolute favourite pen and I bought multiple boxes. I tried your other brands of purple pens but it's not the same. Why did you stop making it in purple and will you ever consider making it again?
