What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[Eduardo]

Eduardo, you make me happy. 4 months! what patience, and I'm happy to say that my worst waiting time has been about two months (well maybe three, but that package got lost and was resent twice), there is curse on that route I think... I am actually waiting on some ink, but it's been so long I am about to give up. And this week some converters and three jinhaos should ship from two sources, and will hopefully be here before april... in about three weeks, if things go as expected. Plus, any day now, some TR pads from Paperforfountainpens should land in my mailbox!

 

Our delays, occurs over customs works... Customs here, works by sampling. The taxing rule is simple: When customs catch a package, they look for the price. Under US$ 50, free and the travel continues. Over 50, the package is sent to tax calculation... When this occurs, you must take ALL YOUR PATIENCE...

Yes, I know the drill. Here, it is the same, I think, or very similar. What I'm wondering is how sometimes it seems all of my stuff slips by (although it still takes at least three weeks to reach me!) and then there are a number that get held up. I guess it's statistics...

The other annoying thing is that it seems most of my packages are first sent to the Netherlands, while I am impatiently waiting here in the Caribbean... so the only things that reach me quickly are those ordered from the Netherlands!

I am waiting for the TWSBI mini. Alley have the 580 witch is an awesome pen. I just med something smaller to go with my new notebook.

I just ordered a custom Edison Pearl, olive swirl ebonite. Like this one, but extended 3/8" in length, and with an ink window. I'm excited.

 

Not in the mail yet, however. Four weeks to go.

i just bought my second Parker Sonnet. The first was an 18k nib in Laque Moonbeam. The one I'm currently waiting on is a Flighter GT with a gold plate nib.

[johntdavis]

M600.

 

 

I've got one of these getting here tomorrow. Been wanting this LE for years. It'll be my first Pelikan.

I have the M400 in tortoise white and you two (johntdavis and whitedot) are going to love yours. They're even more beautiful in real life and my m400 writes like a dream in an extra fine nib, so I'm guessing since xf tend to be the scratchiest nibs, whatever you've got should be GREAT

Platinum 3776 Century Bourgogne and Pilot Capless/Vanishing Point Raden from John Mottishaw.

Just a little Reform 1745. After reading so many reviews over the past few days, I'm crossing my fingers I get a good one, requiring minimal, if any, tweaking.

I bought only the body. I do not like the modern Pelikan stock nibs but enjoy my M600 Pendleton Point immensely.
