The lack of updates here is absolutely shameful. I'll wait for this pen, but I'm pretty sure I won't be making any other purchases on Massdrop in the future. It'll be three months, at least, since I paid for an item before I actually get it.

reubencoIt's a custom fountain pen made just for the Massdrop community. It's not like they have a vending machine full of these things. Might try Amazon in the future...I hear you can get some good quality Uni-balls there.

GoCreateNo. Why are you defending them? I had to pay for an item before it was shipped - okay, fine, it's custom-made, I understand. But this site set a date, which assured me in regard to paying for something I did not have in hand, and then they did not even come close to following through. That is not how you run a good business. There are plenty of places to buy fine pens that are not completely in over their heads.

reubencoI don't quite think you understand how the logistics for something custom made/made to order works. Especially since these items didn't even exist outside of concepts before this drop ended. Sure, they had a date set, but due to things outside of their own control it kept getting pushed back. They even offered to cancel and refund your order if you were unsatisfied with how the pace of the project was going. Even @JonasHeineman took responsibility for the early estimated date for this drop.
Sure, there are other places to buy fine pens such as Goulet Pens, Anderson Pens, Pen Chalet among others, but those places do not have a Custom Retro 51 fountain pen that their own community voted for.
