Conid Open Orders

I've signed up but I don't trust them. I would be that they will be open before they take the time create a newsletter than includes the announcement.

 

Maybe. But they have managed to announce all their other changes via the newsletter and, given their recent history with queue management, I can't see them randomly opening up for new orders. It makes a lot more sense to give subscribers a heads up.

 

But, they don't exactly get comms. :P

Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

Thank you Jonas, Johan, Lukasz, Koen, Werner and, of course @fountainbel :)

 

Special props to Jonas on laser engraving and communications and Johan for the quality nib assurance

 

Conid fulfilled; queue reduced :thumbup:

 

There's gotta be some saying like It's a Wonderful Life :

 

Every time a Conid gets delivered, the team gets another half-day off! :lol:

I had a question about disassembling my Conid Kingsize Bulkfiller and reached out to the company last night. I had thorough and helpful answer from Jonas this morning. He also responded quickly to a follow-up question I sent him this morning. Whatever other issues folks have had getting orders filled and responsive communications, my experience was excellent.

Hi Conid friends!
Good news :Conid twill restart accepting orders as from September 2020
The Covid 19 pandemic has been seriously in Belgium which delayed the elimination of their backlog
They have started production of the parts , assuring shorter delivery times in the future.
Best regards,
Francis

Here's hoping they are ready for pent-up demand.

Add lightness and simplicate.

I wonder if there is still anyone still waiting for their orders?

 

September looms!

I ordered a Conid Kingsize Monarch through Fontoplumo, probably one of the last orders that went to Conid. I still have no news, but I hope it will come soon.

I wonder if there are still anyone still waiting for their orders?

Never mind the newsletters. I hope that you got your pens!

I've signed up for newsletters more than once, have bought 4 Kingsize and never get the newsletter

I mysteriously found my newsletter in my spam box. The false negative ham/spam rate for is so low that it took me a long time to discover the newsletter. That would be the newsletter that was published since the COVID pandemic.

What's your point? October has 31 days but the last day falls on a weekend, so same productivity!

Moaners needn't start complaining Sept 2.

Oh, but they will. They most certainly will. I feel for the folks at Conid.

For a business, that's not something to feel for.... this is something we should be happy for them about. That they have customers impatiently waiting to order more pens! :thumbup:

      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
