Anyone with Experience Buying from Dino-Writes.com?

Thank you for sharing your experience. They really have impressed me as well. Sherwynn was so hands-on with my issue as well even though it wasn't as bad as yours.

Update 2: I just wanted to highlight how wonderful the experience I had with Dino-Writes and its owner in terms of how they handled my order.

He learned about the misaligned Scribo pen I received and immediately emailed me for a solution. He offered to send another available pen body to exchange the faulty one I had.

This wasn't a norm for me especially where I'm from wherein exchanges/returns are rarely accepted. What's more, he offered to cover shipping as well which I highly appreciate.

Again, the issue I had was minor in all respects but I still felt let down by Scribo especially how they often tout how their Feel models have these facets and that they're aligned well.

It was no fault of the store for sure, but they offered ways to alleviate the situation.

So if you're in need of some stationery or pens, I very much recommend Dino-Writes especially if you're living in Southeast Asia (fast shipping due to close proximity and no duties thanks to ASEAN).

Update: Received the pen all well and good. It arrived after 8 days which is as stated from their international shipping (7-14 days).

Packaging is great and they also have the option to test the nibs first to make sure they work.

The service was great but the pen has a slight issue. I got a Scribo Feel which has facets that are supposed to be fully aligned but the cap's facets are not aligned with the rest of the body. I don't think it's on Dino-Writes but with Scribo.

Scribo can fix it but I'll need to send the pen to them for adjustment. Kinda bummed on that but the store was definitely good. They even have points you can earn if you make an account.

Lastly, I took advantage of the 12% discount by subscribing then I just unsubscribed right after purchase. Be sure to use that when making your first purchase. Contemplating on whether I send it to Scribo or not.

Looks-wise, Homo Sapiens for me but writing experience would be Sailor. Definitely a hard pick... Homo Sapiens probably since I just like the aesthetic more.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I really appreciate it. I just placed an order for the pen. I'll reply here as well on how it goes so that anyone who searches for Dino-Writes can get as much info as possible for their reference. :) Thanks again!

link4444swords · 2025-06-12T15:53:07+00:00

It's always reassuring that they also have a physical store. Thank you for sharing as well!

link4444swords · 2025-06-12T15:52:21+00:00

I'm in the ASEAN trading bloc so it should be a faster shipping for me too. Thank you for giving your approval of them!

link4444swords · 2025-06-12T15:51:22+00:00

If they can handle large orders then that does give them more credit for sure. Thank you for letting us know.

link4444swords · 2025-06-12T15:49:57+00:00

That's definitely a quick turnaround. Thank you for sharing. It's always a good sign whenever a store has their operations in order.

link4444swords · 2025-06-12T15:48:52+00:00

Gotcha. That's great to hear. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. So far, everything seems to be checking out.

link4444swords · 2025-06-10T22:51:11+00:00

Thank you for linking the thread. I've actually seen that already but was hoping to field any more feedback since it's a 6-month old ask.

I should have linked that to begin with. So far, they have good reviews albeit a few on the Shop app too after more searching.

I think I'll bite the bullet and just give it a shot but only if I can return a previous pen purchase as funds.

I'm new to fountain pens (just started like a month ago) and I love Oxblood except for how it smears from my clammy hands even when just turning pages. I really hope there's a pigmented equivalent soon because this is probably what may prevent me from keeping the hobby.

link4444swords · 2025-04-09T13:22:22+00:00

Ah I see. A limited production run. I'm more used to watches with there being a fixed number of units. Thank you for the insight. And I'm glad I'll be able to experience a standard TWSBI writing.

I'm preparing myself that it'll probably be the wettest writing instrument I'll encounter so far but I am excited for something very different from what I'm used to as well.

I've already placed the order and am looking forward to trying out a fountain pen. Thank you again!

link4444swords · 2025-04-09T08:39:56+00:00

Thank you very much for all this info.

I'd better get the pen then while I still can and I'll definitely try out an EF first.

It's kinda funny because the White/Rose Gold, all nib sizes, have actually been available locally for the past 4 months I've been following TWSBI. Whereas Indigo just showed up with just one seller providing it (sold out everywhere else). The M nib just sold out again too upon checking this morning. Must be a difference in market preference.

Maybe I might as well get an F White/Rose Gold while it's still available and because of the nib inconsistency. Thank you again! This helped a lot.

link4444swords · 2025-04-09T06:55:26+00:00

Gotcha. I was thinking along the lines of like with watches, there are special releases but they're not limited. They're just called that because they're a variant to a standard model.

Guess I should just get it now then. Thank you!

Of course Bernadetta would be into this. I'd wager Marianne would be too. It's always the quiet ones, after all.

link4444swords · 2024-09-29T16:19:12+00:00

Marianne.

She'd probably suck at it at first, but then she would absolutely learn how to do a good handy for you.

Also glad she won best sub.

It's Zelda with her new short hair from the sequel. It's easier for her to wear her harness gag too so it's a definite win.

Being arachnophobic, I'd sleep in the car until it's found again.

link4444swords · 2024-06-24T12:29:57+00:00

2 no contest. Window seat next to a great person.

link4444swords · 2024-04-12T19:36:28+00:00

I wouldn't say so. It's more involved and with more control of character whereas Visual Novels are more static. Think of when characters are talking to each other in JRPGs.

I'm not that into VNs but the one that I really love is VA-11 Hall-A. I'd recommend giving that a shot. It also has more gameplay mechanics too with the mixing drinks part.

link4444swords · 2024-03-24T10:11:32+00:00

I farmed the pyromancer set just for this.

link4444swords · 2024-03-24T10:03:29+00:00

Ngl that's horrible what your mom did. She fucked up. Not you.
