Akkerman Grand Masters... day 11 since ordering & still waiting.

 

My package cleared customs 2 days ago in Chicago.

[jmccarty3]

My Akkerman inks arrived yesterday. Haven't had time to play with them.

Two boxes each of Pilot Blue, Blue-Black, and Purple cartridges destined for my 12-year-old granddaughter to go with the Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen we were giving her (and which we did give her) for Christmas, inks which I originally ordered in mid-December, which Jet Pens shipped the next day, which USPS unquestionably delivered on the 16th …… to somebody else. Lost in the mail!

 

I filed a missing-mail claim with USPS. When I didn't hear back promptly, I called the phone number on the Contact USPS page. I was told the case would be assigned to someone and that someone would call me within the next 48 hours. It took 6 days, but I'm getting ahead of the story.

 

While awaiting the USPS call I emailed Jet Pens to let the folks there know that an order had been lost in the mail. I figured they'd want to know about these things. Antonia from Jet Pens then took the lead in the postal investigation. USPS—which I've always relied on, never had problems with—didn't do anything until after Antonia contacted its missing-mail crew. She emailed me to update me on the case. Exactly 10 minutes later, the 48-hours-later call from USPS, the one that took 6 days, finally came. Coincidence? Bookman doesn't believe in coincidences. The next and last time I heard from USPS (We give up; case closed), it happened shortly after Antonia emailed me about her contact with USPS.

 

So now Jet Pens is sending me a courtesy replacement order. Kudos Antonia and Jet Pens! (This time I'm signing for the package.)

Akkerman Grand Masters... day 11 since ordering & still waiting.

They are at the local post office. In 3 hrs they should be in my house. Lots faster than last order. Will have to remember not to order just bef the holidays.

Some 30ml samples, Diamine Sargasso Sea, Mystic Blue and Midnight, bought directly from Diamine in the UK: http://www.diamineinks.co.uk/listings.aspx?catid=67

 

I was wavering between Midnight and Oxford Blue and thought about getting both, but shipping to Europe jumps from 3GBP to 4GBP for 4 bottles.

Ordered a bottle of Diamine Oxblood yesterday. Now I need a new pen to put it in...

The replacement order arrived yesterday and my granddaughter was quite excited by the prospect of purple ink.
