Hi From Twsbi

[speedy]

Have you thought about how the nibs are to be tested before selling the pens? Just because I bought a new pen this weekend and it didn't write properly - this is really annoying if you're excited about getting a new pen to play with!

 

We use the nib/feeder system direct from Schmidt, from all the nibs we got so far (during testing pen....) we found they are very consistency in quality. We know the Schmidt very well and their German quality from well established company, that's why from the beginning of this project we insist to use Schmidt nib (well, actually you know when nib from...), even he is much more expensive than others.  Accordingly we believe the chance of getting defect nib is very low. We will do final eye checking on the nib to make sure two tips are in correct position...

about the 300 pilot run pen, let me get them done first.

[pwyll]

300 may not be enough to satisfy the demand just from this thread :roflmho:

Got some sweet sweet Iroshizuku ink waiting to fill up one or 2 of these pens.

I have no doubt that the first 300 will be gone fast.

 

I may have to wait a year or two... but I will get one of these pens!

[enricof]

If posting order on this thread constitute priority on buying, I should be in a good position...

 

Speedy, you're doing really a great job (no, two jobs, as I keeping a watch on the vacuum filler too).

 

Can't wait...

[pkoko]

I will definitely order one of the 2 pens.... So please notify us when they are available... even do pre-orders?

I am going to run a pre-order for the initial 300 pens. I am going to have the thread organizing the pre-sale up for the weekend in the US time zones.

 

Look for more information soon!

I will be happy to ship to europe as well. I think speedy has a friend in Europe doing distribution there (which would mean cheaper shipping for you guys), but if there is no problem with regional fiefdoms, I'll ship to Canada/Europe. I need to check, but I think shipping will be similar to the cost for US shipping.

[speedy]

mahkie is a nice young friend from America who now live in Taiwan, he is giving me suggestion on marketing and helping me organizing twitter...

such a nice your fellow long times ago already planning to do some international sales that are pen related from Taiwan. To appreciate his ambition so I let him has the first priority to sell the first 300 pilot run pens, even before I start to sell the Diamond. Hope you guys all support his work, thank.

 

My distribution in Europe has not been decided yet. If anyone is interested in organize/collect orders in your local area amount your friend, group... ; in this way at least the shipping cost can be minimized, then place order from me, pls let me by email at speedy@twsbi.com

There are some pre-production models floating around (I have one), but the Chicago pen show is pretty soon. I don't think it would be very likely.

I would follow you on twitter... but I don't tweet.

 

Yes, I got on the pre-sale list in the other thread. Looks fine. However, in all my excitement, I totally missed the part about the timeline. It was there, I just didn't see it at first.

 

Woo Hoo! We are one step closer!

Yes, the Chicago show is only a week away so I figured it wouldn't be possible.

 

Too bad. I was going to make a myself a badge that said "Have you seen my TWSBI?" to wear on Sunday (the public day).

Will we be in time to send Spitzner your Diamond pen by FedEx? pls try to arrange.

I'll pass you a new one when we meet next week.
