Like a dummy, I read the first page of this thread and ordered two journals. That was late last night.

Today I checked the tracking. The package is in the hands of USPS an on its way. So far, so good.

I'll let you know how things develop.

I love these journals, have ordered them, several at a time, for years without a single problem, and paid with paypal.

+1. And on at least one occasion Jay emailed me to ask if I were interested in a special offer...

So my experience has been entirely positive.

Glad to hear that whatever the problem was, it seems to be temporary. I really do love these journals.

Placed my order in the evening of the 23rd. They were in the mail on the 24th, and arrived here on the 26th.

They are really a joy to write in. So glad I ordered from Jay Potter at Paper for Fountain Pens.

Thank you for your post regarding a successful transaction; it is always good to hear when the expected, actually occurs. We all experience same, but seldom take the time to acknowledge & often only "sound the alert," when the unexpected happens. Enjoy your paper & I hope all customers will appreciate this report & realise same, with orders.

Jay came through. I received email last night from him that Post Office returned to sender. A digit was missing from address. He will resend.

Strange behavior with Paypal. When I check out, it defaults to my address for shipping, but I can hit "change" and it would let me choose from all the addresses I have sent things to in the past, or enter a new recipient. That's how I selected her as recipient, and it was listed as "verified address."

I tried another order, just to see if the address Paypal had was wrong, and I had not noted it. Or, was it an error in transcription?

However, Paypal no longer shows all my recipients' addresses to chose from, but now only gives me option to "edit" the "send to" address.

computers=weird

I will post here when I get feedback from DD about her notebooks.

Cheers,

Paypal informed me today. that she wil get it tomorrow, and offers text updates to her cell.

Cheers,

Jay increased the number of pages so people who were using them as journals could use them for a year and have "a page to a day".

Darling daughter picked up order. She says this is her favorite journal, likes it better than Seven Seas.

 

Does Jay do this a serious business venture, or asn avocation, a service to the FPN community?

I will surely order again from him soon.

 

Cheers...

Hmm, now I know why I had rhe impression that Jay was doing this as a labor of love.

 

from post#1 on this thread:

 

"This paper has inspired me to write more than I ever did before, and I've had to create the product line that I wanted for my own use. Now I'm sharing the results with you.

 

Happy writing!

 

—Jay "

Cheers,

He ships to Australia so Sweden should be a breeze. (Maybe check the website?)

I keep wanting to reorder, because I love these journals so much, and have to keep reminding myself that I took a book binding course specifically to be able to make my own journals when Jay was out of stock and I was in dire need. I now have a few lying around waiting for use, so seriously, I shouldn't buy any from Jay.

 

But man, I've been using his journals for years and LOVE them.

Ordered 2 imperfect cream B5 journals for my world travelling daughter, who loves these above all others including her Namiani with the custom leather cover.

Cheers,

The larger size appeals greatly. Could someone tell me how often they're restocked? Apparently I just missed the imperfect sale; perhaps this means more are coming, either perfect or otherwise?

 

Would be willing to trade. Have many uncommon inks, a few older Seven Seas, etc.

      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
