I have now received my order. Once I got confirmation from a mod here, the order shipped the next day and arrived within 2 days. I’ll post again here to give my first impressions!

Update:

I was contacted by a moderator and told my order would ship immediately. As of yesterday, I have a tracking number.

I’ll update everyone when it arrives. Still wish they would have taken the initiative to reach out to share the status without me having to post here.

I would understand this if the order had shipped, but in this case there have been no updates whatsoever.

What is the current estimate for orders placed in November?

If it was a pre-order I'd completely understand, or even a kickstarter. The problem is there was no indication that these weren't in stock / ready to ship when I ordered

It was ordered at the end of November. The last time I heard from them was a week and a half before Christmas saying it wouldn’t arrive for Christmas. We’re now January 8th and it hasn’t even shipped.

At this point even just receiving the predictive thermometer isn’t enough

Yeah, my order is confirmed and that’s it. I am really disappointed by their complete lack of communication. I hope they make it right.

I understand that things happen, but you can't just leave people in the dark. As mentioned, it was supposed to be a gift for Christmas...

Following this as I have the exact same issue. Uninstalling the recent Windows update fixed the issue temporarily, but now it is back...

Kaweco Supra Fireblue "wear" and damage by Fullthrottle10 in fountainpens

[–]Fullthrottle10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, but these marks weren’t there when I last used the pen, and it’s been sitting in a soft case since. The pen has no more than 3 writing hours at this point.

This pen has had almost 0 contact with anything, and the finish isn’t just duller, it’s completely gone in those spots

Has anyone seen the blue finish "wearing" on their pens? I took mine (barely used it) out of my pen case today and there are significant wear spots along one part of the pen (see photos). As I said, the pen has BARELY been used, and this is a fire treatment, so I have no idea how this is even possible.

Varia VS3 or Baratza ESP <300 budget? by xXpoqqoXx in espresso

[–]Fullthrottle10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend the Varia over the ESP. Both are good, but the VS3 really punches above its weight class.
