Open Letter To Levenger


Uncle Red

Recommended Posts

Dear Levenger

The new True Writer Select looks nice and there are good color options. However, I'm not going to buy it until I can order it with the nib width of my choice. I am not going to buy the pen and then a separate nib! Give us the option to order the pen with and nib you offer (including the stub) or I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Helps more to complain to them, than here.

Yeah, one letter to them or send them a link to this thread with a lot of "I want it with a ..." messages?

The catalog I received in the mail this week lists this pen with the option of fine, medium, and bold nibs. I suspect it is an oversight that this option is not apparent on the web listing.

Original poster, have you called Levenger's customer service? Perhaps they will switch out the nib for you. I have found Levenger to be very accommodating.

I agree. I've never been very enthused about seeing complaints on forums that have never been addressed with the company.

 

I would find it more helpful to know how Levenger responded when you raised the matter with them.

Nothing burns me more about working in a service industry than when people have a problem with my shop and they walk away without giving me a chance to make it right. Even if they feel the need to walk out the door forever I would appreciate the courtesy of having the chance to rectify the problem before it effects someone else.

I agree! I love stub nibs. Some of the older True Writers have sections that match the body color. Worse yet, now it seems the stub nib Levenger sells is only for True Writer Select fountain pens, none of which I have.

After you select a color an option box opens up to allow you to choose the nib ( f,m,b ).

Yes, I just tried and it worked, but still no stub nibs are available.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Levenger! You are a great shopping place. Please let us have a stub nib option!

 

I know we should all use Levenger's contact form to say this. I'll try to do that next time I check their website.

      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
