In my experience Mass Drop is usually very good with updates and communication. BUT, the silence in this case is a little concerning. I am concerned that there is a problem with the Stipula Fountain pens...several comments already from those who received from the first shipment...Perhaps Mass Drop started checking the 2nd shipment before they shipped to us customers....and they found issues and they are waiting for a solution from Stipula..? (this is strictly speculation on my part)..seems to me something out of the ordinary is going on though...delay /lost shipment? Issues? It would be nice to hear from Mass Drop what is going on.
