Goulet Pens...shocked Me.

When my time comes to be buried, I'm going to have the Goulet's wrap me. I should be nice and fresh for a few hundred years and safe from any earthquakes.

Also a very proud and repeat customer--pens, paper, ink. I read the reviews, watch the videos, and am amazed that a family business can compete with (and beat) the big competition.

I have spent many enjoyable hours viewing the videos and reading customer reviews at gouletpens.com and inknouveau.com. I'm glad I'm retired so I don't worry about missing sleep at night. I have learned a lot, spent a lot of money, and taken my love of fountain pens, inks, and accessories to an all time high by finding Goulet Pens. The videos are fantastic and there must be hundreds and hundreds of them from tips, how-tos, product reviews, and now a weekly Q&A video. Pens, paper, ink, nibs, sealing wax & seals, empty ink bottles, ink samples, nib comparisons, ink comparisons. Oh yes, their packing and customer service is the best (I should know I've probably averaged about an order a week for the last 6 months!). It doesn't get any better than Goulet Pens! Thanks Brian and Rachel and the whole Goulet Team!

I just got an order delivered. Great packing as usual, a free tootsie pop (yum) and this time they threw in a free bottle of Noodler's 54th Massachusetts. WoW! :D

TheGoulets should be a course in MBA School. I really admire them and take a lot of heart from them.

They are in a way. They are chapter One in a book called "So You Have A Website, Now What?"

Goulet Pens is awesome. And you get a sucker with your order!

I got my first fountain pen [and ink and paper] from them this week. They absolutely rock! And they're a small family business. Which rocks. Rock squared.

+1... Although I'm not ordering at the same level of frequency.

I agree with everything in the thread. I am a frequent Amazon shopper. Their shipping has never been perfect but in the past two years it's gotten actually bad. Goulet pen was the first time I've bought from an online retailer other than Amazon or Zappos in a couple years and the FIRST time I felt like the shipping charge was well deserved. I actually have no problem paying more cause the service is so perfect.

I finally got around to ordering from the Goulets a few weeks ago, the package arrived in record time and not only did I get to try my first-ever tootsie pop, it's also the first time I've recieved something wrapped in a sheet of bubble wrap the size of - well, me.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
