Mb Nib Exchange


lwc

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a 147 with medium nib. I would prefer a fine or extra-fine. Can anyone speak to the nib exchange service from MB? Do they still provide this service? Contact info? Thanks for any help you can give.

Yes they can still replace nibs. If it was purchased new from them or an authorized retailer, you can have the nib exchanged for free within six weeks of purchase. Outside of that, you would need to pay for level three service which is AROUND the $300+ (USD) range for a new nib. If you are in the U.S., the pen would go to the Texas service center and their contact info is on the Montblanc website.

I keep thinking about selling some of my pens but all that happens is I keep acquiring more!

I've recently used the replacement service in New Zealand and the cost was $300 each pen in new Zealand dollars so about $150 US each....very good service and excellent experience. I went from a M to EF on two 146 's such a difference and we'll worth the change!

I inquired about prices and availability of nib exchanges via the contact us link on the MB website.

 

If you live close to a shop though, I'd recommend popping in and having a chat with them.

I remember asking you about this before. Which converter did you use? Whatever showed up on Google was converting it to about $250 USD but I don't know if I missed something :/

I would go back to the place where you bought it and say that you would prefer a different nib. You should be OK as long as you're within the first 6 weeks since purchase.

 

You can go online to Montblanc.com and ask the same question if you prefer.

An update... As of 8/9/14, I am awaiting return from Montblanc in Texas. I was charged a Level 1 service fee of $66 USD.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
