Hey all, I'm wondering about your experiences with this retailer

 

 

Thanks!

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart."

I've purchased from them in the past, and had good service each time.

Me too.

 

You should know that there is a sort of rule on this board against complaints about any specific commercial seller, i.e. naming and shaming (reasons lead to debates lead to heads banging, so just accept that it's there). Therefore you are unlikely to get any very specific negative reactions about this very well known U.S. retailer, and so the results of your inquiry are likely to be strongly skewed towards the positive. That said, I stand by my reaction, all interactions and transactions for me have been positive.

I've had several positive experiences with them, including a return.

 

 

As for negative views....as they old saying goes, "Praise in public, scold in private."

 

So, I've used private message if I want to share info that I don't think wise to put out to everyone.

 

Please note it's very easy to dump on someone online and tarnish their reputation. It's not easy to erase to undo it, once it's out there.

 

It's also easy to create an impression about someone based on very anecdotal info and very small data sets. Especially, if a few people pile on too, which I see happen too often. So, someone that may have a 99% positive record, get's tarnished over a few people with a negative experience. Not saying the 1% doesn't matter, just that it's a very skewed view of real situation.

 

Hence, my trying to adhere to old saying above......think it's all about how you handle the info......I share my experiences good and bad, if I think it's appropriate, just in different ways.

 

Anyway, just my 2¢.....

I ordered my Edison Menlo from them about 2 weeks ago. I didn't have any issues with them. They shipped promptly with tracking and everything was well packaged. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

 

The issues I has was with USPS and my pen getting hung up at one of their facilities for several days, but that's not Goldspot's fault and a topic for a different discussion.

Yes,, Goldspot is a good dealer. I have bought from them several times and their packing and shipping practices are done with care. I would definitely buy from them again. It pays to sign up for their newsletters, too. ^_^

      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
