january 7, 2004Well, it took a little longer than I expected, but my order from TheWritersEdge.com finally showed up today. I put in the order on December 26, 2003 and the order shipped January 3, 2004. It arrived today. Apparently there was a shortage of something that caused the delay in shipping. I had ordered seperately two refills for my Space Pen from SpacePen.com on the same day I ordered from TheWritersEdge.com and SpacePen.com shipped pretty quickly and arrived rather fast -- though they have a larger shipping cost. From TheWritersEdge.com I ordered a Space Pen fine black ink refill and a leather pouch thing for my Space Pen.

The leather pouch is pretty good, I like it a lot. The one thing I'd change about it is to put a piece of leather over the bottom of the button that touches the pen. Right now it scrapes against the pen whenever I put or pull the pen out from the pouch.

The weird thing is the pen refill, it came in an evelope that had a sticker on the outside saying that the refills were authentic and that the retail packaging for the most popular Fisher refills has been "eliminated" to reduce wasted paper. Which I would understand except for the refill does not have the print on it that the cartridge in my pen has (and on the refills I got from SpacePen.com have). Am I a tiny bit suspicious, kind of. I am sure it will write fine though, just wish it had the print on it.
