FP - return policy for online orders?
What seems to be a reasonable return policy if one orders a pen via catalog
or online, in so far as the customer want to see, feel and examine the pen. I have read the FAQ's about asking to ink a pen, in a retail store, but I wouldn't expect a mail order house to be that generous. For example, I would love to see a Pelikan M300. I know it is small, but I will never get a chance to actually see one before I buy it. I would like to see, feel and handle one. It seems that return policies vary from merchant to merchant. How many days to return unused is customary? I have very limited experience in online FP purchases. In fact the first fountain pen I bought I had for 10 days and it developed a leak. The online seller told to send it to the manufacturer. I would have thought the seller would have replaced it. Any advice would be appreciated. ----- Pahoo |

It seems to me that since you're already aware that return policies vary, you need to compare each seller's policy and decide for yourself which seem reasonable to you. If you don't like it, don't purchase from that/those seller(s), the same as you do or don't at any brick and mortar establishment. In all of life, there's always some risk. How much and of what type is a personal choice. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi but not in email. Please take out the trash before sending a direct reply. |

Fountain Pen Hospital has a 30-day no questions return policy[1] and they've honored it in my experience. Levenger just says "we'll make it right"[2] and doesn't give a return window, but I haven't had any troubles returning things to them. Levenger's customer service said "well, it'd be *best* if you can get it back within 90 days." And they offered to pay shipping on the exchanged pen as well as the returned pen. (i bought one pen, found it skipped and decided to try another rather than try to tweak the flow myself.) They were great to deal with but I was lazy and paid return postage anyway. They refunded the full cost of the pen - and the pen I bought was already pre-inked so... I think that's pretty darn good. I know they'd treat a new pen with the same quality service. I didn't wait any 90 days of course - too impatient for that. Most are pretty good about returns/refunds for full amount sans S&H. At least of the several on-line distributors I've used. |
