    I've been a customer for years & love Fahrney's, but today was the most frustrating experience I've ever had with the website. In my opinion, the new website is not ready for primetime--80% of items seemed to be out of stock, and far two many parts of the site were still under construction..

    My order arrived when they said it would. Everything was there and we are happy with our purchase. Something you may want to look into is we purchased two bottles of ink. The cap loosened a bit and we had a small leak from the ink. Not sure what could be done to prevent this. Luckily we caught it and was able to clean the bottles off and tighten the lid. The bonus gifts were a pleasant surprise and we loved them. Thank you.

    It seemed as if because of the brand I was ordering and some work on the website, it was unclear if I was ordering from Fahrney's or a third party. When I checked out it seemed as if it actually was Fahrney's.

    I needed a converter for an older (20+ years) Montblanc fountain pen and found most potential sources did not have one available. The one I ordered from Fahrney's was delivered in a timely fashion, and it fit perfectly. Cannot ask for more.

    I've been disappointed at the website being down and now that it's up, the lack of product. I'd expected a much better selection of fountain pens from past experience. I hope this is a part of the transition and that you'll be back to the selection I've appreciated in the past and expected.

    The website made it simple to find what I was looking for and to see the pen from various angles. The checkout was straightforward and painless. The price on the pen was very good. Fahrney's has a good reputation in the community and I was pleased to be able to finally purchase a pen from them.

    I must say price is king, the fact that the advertise price is the one you end up paying is the best thing ever. That is extremely unusual for US retailers. I was hesitant because the website is not as pretty as Goulet pens, but the company delivered and I will be happy to be a regular customer from now on.
