That the pencils from Singapore come (ie not from Germany) are here and delivered without CE mark, was nowhere in the product description. They come from overseas, of course, explains why the pins of the notification that the goods were shipped, up to the arrival at my house, has three weeks needed. I'd prefer the article return back to Singapore, but that does not make sense, of course, at 5 euros. I hope that the pins fell at least the children who get them as Encaustic the child's birthday. Two stars because the pins look quite ok and glitter.
