New courier shipping option to beat the postal strikes

Phil - Beaufort Ink - 5 Dec 2022 11:00:00 Other articles...

No matter where you live, you can now choose betwen delivery by Royal Mail or delivery by courier, irespective of how large or small your order.

Until now, courier shipping has been configured to only show up on our website as an option if orders that are too heavy for Royal Mail to handle. We've just changed all that, and from now on, courier shipiing is available as an option on all orders, to all countries, no matter how large or small the order - and we'll be keeping it in place going forward, so that our customers will always have the choice.

Yes, delivery by courier is going to cost a bit more than Royal Mail, but if you want your goods in a hurry, or you're worried that planned postal strikes will slow things down, then choose our new courier option in the shopping cart.

Courier deliveries within the UK are handled by DHL and are usually within 1 to 2 working days. Courier deliveries to other countries are handled by either DHL or FedEX and are usually within 4 to 6 days working days or so.

We've made the option available, but it goes without saying that it's entirely your choice which shipping method you select. Please bear in mind however, that postal strikes are planned for every single week between now and Christmas.

Courier shipping is now available as an option on every order

Our market leading Mistral pen kits are the only pen kits avialable worldwide with truly matching fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint and pencil. Each type of kit is available to buy individually, so that you can create a matched set of pens (or pen and pencil) in any combination you choose.

Why is that a thing? Well, if you offer a rollerball to someone who normally uses a fountain pen, they're likely to turn up their nose. Fountain pen people simply don't write with rollerballs, and rollerball people don't write with fountain pens. And yet, if you look around at pen kits, that's all you can usually get - a fountain pen matched with a rollerball. What pen owners want is a matching fountain pen and a pencil, or maybe a rollerball and a pencil, or perhaps a fountain pen and a ballpoint. You get the picture. They'll use them both, but they're extremely unlikely to use them both if the pens are a fountain pen and a rollerball.

Mistral pen kits were designed by us, from the bottom up, to offer matching pens and pencils in any combination. They're not just modified as an afterthought, they were designed right from the start to look the same.

You can mix and match with Mistral pen kits. They're high quality kits, not just cheap offerings with cheap plating and cheap mechanisms. And they do match. And that's the point.
