I am just curious if any of you who have purchased pens off of ebay or amazon coming from china have had to sign for them ? this happened yesterday and this is the first time I have ever had to do that and was wondering if this is common practice or is this big brother government trying to keep track and am I going to get an nsa agent knocking at my door ?

I've had to do it a few times now, but here in Australia. One seller (that I buy from) in particular has packages that must be signed for. Not sure why he does it that way!

Never had to sign for a Chinese pen but had delivery problem one time: bought a x450 and a x750 from ebay.

Got nothing after 3 month. Opened a paypal claim but closed it without getting reimbursed since I felt the seller was genuine and wasn't at fault.

Ended up receiving 4 times my order within the next 9 month. First package came 6 month after being sent... Felt bad for the seller afterward.

Different sellers have different practices. I have had to sign for Pilot 78gs from China, yet other sellers are content to have it just stuffed into the mailbox.

The seller of the 78G pens uses an envelope that "seals with a button and string. No glue used at all to seal the package. I have yet to lose a pen from that seller.

From China, no. I've ordered a handful of Jinhao pens from a couple different sellers.

 

I have had to sign for all three packages I've gotten from Japan in the last few months though.

So many inks, so little time...

Yes I've had to sign for a Pilot pen I bought from China, but it was a much quicker delivery than the more common type that takes about 3 weeks

      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
