THE BIG French Clairefontaine Order

April 3, 2010

Foolish question?
If this works out well for Goulet Pens and FPN members, will it be repeated regularly? Such as quarterly or half-yearly or some such?

I think what I'm going to do is have it more on a continuous basis. The most complicated thing I did was to try to coordinate one 'big' order, when really I could have just placed an order anytime. If you're interested in getting stuff from France, just let me know, I'll get you a price, and I'll put it in on the next shipment that's coming over....you won't have to wait as long and there won't be as many complicated logistics as there were for this order. How's that sound?

It should be on its way to me! It arrived last week at Exaclair and they were to ship it to me late last week or early this week. I'll let everybody know when it arrives at my house. Very soon!

It's here!!! I'll be going through everything in the next few days, getting shipping rates and all that good stuff. If you ordered from me, expect to get an email from me very soon with more details.

You could be exactly the person I'm looking for!

A few of us have been talking in this chain: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/153914-smaller-than-85x11-30-colors-smooth-or-linen-like-textured-paper/

and someone mentioned the Pollen line of Clairefontaine paper - and I am extremely interested in giving it a go. I'm looking fo the 6x9 (roughly that) but will go for 8.5x11 and cut it myself if needed. I'd like to test a few of the colors but don't know if they sell samples or you have to buy a 50pg packet. Whatever it is I'm willing to pay for it - but I can't find anywhere to order it (in English). My French is nowhere near good enough and that's better than my German and Dutch lol. Can you help?

thanks!

That does sound like what you're after, and I certainly can order it for you directly from France. However, to do so you'd have to purchase the minimum quantities, which for the Pollen A4 you're after is 10 packs of 50 sheets, and at around $15 a pack, that's $150 plus shipping. Not exactly cheap to try! But you're more than welcome to try to split up the order with some other folks. The French catalog is online here: http://clairefontaine-rhodia-2010.e-catalogues.info/index.asp - just let me know what you're interested in and I can give you the price and minimum quantity.
