[SIZE=7] i have bought some pens off the marketplace and elsewhere. the pens are all wonderful ....BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WRAP THE PENS AND THE EXTERIOR PACKAGE WITH SO MUCH PACKING TAPE. it took me more than 45 minutes to open and extract the waterman hard rubber pen with the flexible nib out of its prison my fingers hurt. now i will wait before inking and trying this pen so my fingers can recover. if you use gopens' pen shipping receptacles. scotch tape to make sure the two parts do not come apart. packing tape is overkill.

another pet peeve. post office boxes have a tab that the receipient can pull to easily open the box. please don't cover the tabs with tape. pretty please-- my fingers will thank you

I don't have arthritis, but I certainly can identify with the problem. I do appreciate the effort of trying to ensure that nothing is damaged or lost in transit, but it would be most convenient if the "pull to open" area were left intact and that minimal tape be used to keep the bubble wrap from unrolling.

Thanks for the recognition and bringing forth a problem that is inconvenient for many and a real burden for others.
