Hi,

 

Do you guys offer shipping services now to absentee bidders?

 

Time ago I won some expensive pens in one of your auctions only to discover that you would not care packing and shipping. A nightmare! You should advise readers of this website. Since most of us is dispersed around the globe and unlikely to attend in person.

Hi katanankes,

 

I am really sorry to hear that the shipping proved to be a problem for you the last time you bought from us.

 

It is stated in the catalogue that we don't provide any shipping ourselves, but shipping is done through a third party shipper.

 

Many of our buyers do not attend our auctions in person, and bid live on one of the internet bidding platforms we provide with no additional fees for using these platforms. Most of our buyers are worldwide (we sell many of our pens and many other items, large and small, to buyers in East Asia, Continental Europe and the USA), and we will provide details of professional shippers, who will ship your purchases to you, properly packed and fully insured, and can arrange customs clearance for items shipped outside the European Union. The details of the shippers we recommend are sent out with the invoices to all buyers. The shippers we suggest using collect from us on a daily basis.

 

If you, or anyone who buys from us, has a problem finding out the details of shippers, please feel free to contact me via the http://www.dnfa.com website (you will find my e-mail address there), or contact the department on jsw@dnfa.com and we will do our best to help.

 

We are looking at creating an in-house shipping department for small items in the future, and hope to be able to offer this service to buyers for certain items in the future, but we are not quite ready with this project yet.

 

For UK buyers, again we don't provide an in-house mailing service for purchases, but we suggest using MailBoxes, who collect from us everyday, and ensure the items are professionally packed and are insured whilst in transit. We will provide you with details of our nearest Mailboxes office, and they will arrange the mailing of your purchases.

 

You can also use the department e-mail, jsw@dnfa.com to ask for condtion reports and additional images.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
