Fpn Pens About To Be Shipped!


Admin

Recommended Posts

OK, so if it's 10 am in the midwestern US, that means, at a guess, it's about 3 pm in the Netherlands (and it is a guess, because this is the internet and no one fact checks anything. Besides, I'm a lazy sod who isn't going to check the ACTUAL time difference) so....

 

What news Wim? What news of Modello T's making it to the US?

"If you show us a drunk blonde chick in her underwear, she has to die. That's just how we roll." - I wish I knew who to attribute that to. T'weren't me.

Ain't great, but it's the best I've got. So far.

No news yet, it is only 5:25 pm here... :D

My situation is getting downright silly, despite Wim's kind intervention. I stayed home all day, within sight and sound of the front door. Here's the latest from the website:

 

19 Delivered - Signed for by : LD 355 MORRISVILLE, NC - USA 15:40 18 With delivery courier MORRISVILLE, NC - USA 08:49

 

I have no idea who LD 355 is or why my pen is still on Morrisville. It seems I'm going to have to get on the phone.

 

Edited to note that I can't get on the phone because their phone lines conveniently close at 4:00 p.m. I've fired off an email, but I doubt I'll get any more reply than I did to the one Wim generated yesterday.

 

Is anyone else having trouble with DHL or am I just special?

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

You're very special, Wendy.

 

Just that DHL seem to be treating this the wrong kind of special in your special case...

 

I will try some more stuff from here as well, but don't know whether this will be effective. It is probably best to give them a call, indeed.

 

Warmest regards, WIm

Thanks, Wim. I sent a follow-up email, although I haven't had any actual response to the one your sent on my behalf yesterday.

 

I don't mind that the pen is delayed. It's nearby and will get here eventually. What I don't like is being lied to about it by the courier. Heck, I'd go pick it up, but apparently they're taking it out for rides every day. :doh:

Hate to be pessimistic but in my neck of the woods DHL is not known for stellar performance. I know of a few cats and quite possibly a goldfish who signed for parcels. The courier probably left it on a doorstep and signed the doomaflajy him or herself.

Outstanding Wim, thanks for keeping up on all of this for all of us. Good on you sir, good on you!

My pen appears to be making its way here - slowly (and convolutedly) but surely. It landed in Calgary yesterday, then Saskatoon this morning, now it seems to be back in Calgary...

So is the Model T sent out? I'm getting anxious as I'm leaving the States at the end of the month and I'm hoping to receive my pens before then. Haven't received any tracking info or any "shipped out" confirmation.

Please check out my blogshop for fountain pens and inks at http://inkoholicanonymous.blogspot.com/ Reviews of my pens can be found there too!

The Modello-Ts started shipping this morning, but we will only know which ones by tomorrow night, as we get updates every few days, with tracking numbers. Those are passed on as quickly as we can, straight after receiving the tracking numbers.

 

There is no need to get anxious, just let me know when you wil be away for, and we will ask to hold off on shipping if need be. Havng said this, we expect all shipments to have reached people before Christmas still.

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

What am I looking for in the way of an email notification of shipping? Will it come from FPN or Stipula? I don't want to delete it along with the TONS of junk emails I get in spite of my spam filter. Thanks.

Phone calls last just minutes, emails get deleted, but letters live forever.

I got my info straight from FPN and signed by Wim. :clap1:

      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
