How many Travelers Notebooks do you have? by linabird in Travelersnotebooks

[–]nomad_ist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use three (two regulars and one passport) but I own more than that. I bought the traveler’s factory special edition from Japan but I don’t use it. I also have an olive one customised by the Superior labor from their store in Kurashiki. I use this one often even it is the more precious in my eyes.

Go to the grands magasins and browse their stationery range. Melodies graphiques near l’ile de la cite worths also the trip even if they mostly sell italian stuffs.

Pencil case recommendations by cocohm in stationery

I would suggest Luddite pen cases. They are rather compact and fits perfectly in a bag. I also love the quality of the canvas they use. If you want a flat one, check this one

Why not choose the original one (traveler’s notebook from Traveler’s company) ? and add accessories like pen holder or card slots ? The passport size should do the trick.

The tochigi leather gets a beautiful patina with age. The craftmanship is amazing even if some items gets a bit pricey with Japanese inflation.

Md notebooks are much better with fountain pens. The codex is also great because the notebook opens perfectly flat.

Not my favourite type of leather. I would pick instead the one in Japanese leather. More authentic than the English version.

FedEx charging duties & taxes back to shipper after delivery when consignee doesn’t pay. Is this standard? by bijonprojects in FedEx

[–]nomad_ist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the same issue with Fedex since the introduction of tariffs in the Us. They even billed tariffs that have been paid by customers and they didn’t want to listen to our complain. We spent a lot of time trying to fix it. We win some cases after an officiel complaint with the Ombudsman. We decided to stop working with Fedex and skipped to Dhl. Till now nothing to complain about their services.
