I had the same amazing experience with my vintage Elite. Bought a “slightly” damaged pen on eBay. Slightly damaged meant a large chunk of the barrel was broken out but not shown in the photos. Sent to Piot seeking a new barrel that I expected to pay for. Took a long time, including a trip by the pen to Japan. Great results all free. Double thanks Pilot.
That is so nice to hear that they stand behind their pens because I bought the same ones you have on the two different main stores we lurk, one you mentioned, and I was not sure if Pilot would touch them. Thanks for this.
I do buy a lot of pens direct from Japan but I really don't know if they'd service one in the US. I may have just gotten lucky with the 95S being the domestic version. If you have an experience either way I'd love to hear about it.
Those packing labels are likely heat transfer labels. heat or quickly rubbing with a hard object will pull ink out of the label and black it out better. I can still read under the marker.
Love mine very smooth writer
You really can't go wrong with Pilot.

I'm so glad I watched your video, WOW!

@@skittish1 Right now my pens are great, I hope I never have to but this gave me a nice window, just in case.

That's a good catch, thanks! I was so excited to open the darn thing I wasn't thinking.
