      WOW. Still no pens received and its been a year since this project. Rather disappointed and can't really understand what the hold up is?

      Looks like some of us are STILL waiting.

      I still haven't received my pens and I've PMed you guys twice with no response (although, the second message was yesterday). In any case, I'd love to find out what happened to my pens... please?

      Hey, guys, am pleased to report the speedy response to the request I made last week! The pens are tre' cool! And the journal exotically beauteous! Considering all the challenges you've met, I imagine this journey has given experiences that will serve you well in negotiating your next steps. Enjoyed being part of one of your earliest forays into this phase of your life. If whatever one gives ones attention to Gris, my appreciation for being a co-worker in something much greater than myself alone, lets me share in the joy of all.

      Cheers!

      Hi Kerry and Kevin,
      Hope you are both handling the success well. I haven't received the pens yet, and need to update the address to send them to. Can you please let me know the best way to do that.
      Thanks, Craig

      Hi Kerry and Kevin,

      I have been messaging you direct in regards to the remainder of my order and you said you were going to get back to me in January. Could you please check you messages, find out what is going on and let me know. I still have to know for sure before sending this off as a gift.

      Creator Kerry & Kevin Davis on February 26

      Hey everyone. Thank you so much for your patience with this project. All of the pens were shipped and everyone should have received them by now. We've gotten a few packages back from USPS, and have been contacted by some of you regarding USPS address issues. If you have not received anything yet, please send us a message directly and we will look into what's going on.

      I did not get my pens either. Still hopeful they will arrive. I have had one other totally splendid experience with Kickstarter.

      I have already received mine in South Africa earlier this month. I got an extra 5 pens, as well as an extra journal. Well worth the wait. Thank you Kerry and Kevin! =)

      Thank you gentlemen, I received my package today!

      i didn't get mine neither...
      any updates?

      Did these things ever ship? I didn't get anything.

      I have not received anything yet myself.

    23. Missing_small

      Creator Zach Randolph on February 6

      I received mine, finally. It seems like many people were forgotten in shipping (such as myself until mine was sent after complaint) and need to have their items sent to them.

    24. Missing_small

      Creator Jon on February 4

      Got my pens and journals today when I went home for lunch! I do wish the printing on the pen would have been the "I Launched Ink'd" but that aside, this was worth the wait. I am hoping that I will see these in stores in the near future!

    25. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Aapo Saaristo on January 31

      Haven't received anything either, and quite frankly seeing as the last backer update about "fully expecting everyone to have pens in time for the Holidays" was posted more than two months ago, I'm not exactly holding my breath in anticipation.

      Easily the most dissapointing Kickstarter I've taken part in.

    26. 037.small

      Creator Florian Maerzendorfer on January 29

      still have not received anything...

    27. Missing_small

      Creator Amanda on January 23

      Received the custom order pens, the printing was average and the whole batch of pens came in green or yellow, not an assortment of ours like the quint packs. Highly disappointed with overll lack of communication, problems with hip meant if pens, and the fact that I ended up with 250 green and yellow pens.

    28. Missing_small

      Creator Danielle McGurk on January 22

      Also checking in, as I never received any pens and have not seen an update in quite some time.

      Checking in: Still waiting, hoping they get here soon.

      Still haven't gotten my pens. Is there a way to track my package?

      Creator Kyle Reutenauer on January 14

      got my pens on friday. LOVE the packaging of them, was almost too afraid to take a pen out because i didnt want to ruin it. the pens write amazingly and I cannot wait to use them on a daily basis. thanks guys!

    32. Kickstarter%20portrait.small

      Creator Kerry & Kevin Davis on January 9

      Jim, thanks so much for the feedback and your advice is well received. We have not been as responsive as we should be although we have tried to be better in recent weeks. Zach, backers who ordered a special edition bundle were shipped extra pens. If yours haven't reached you yet, they should be there very soon.

      If anyone wants to check on the status of their shipment, please send us a message directly and we'll look into it for you. Thanks so much.

    33. Missing_small

      Creator Zach Randolph on January 8

      I mean, I paid $35, not getting what I paid for either means I get a partial refund, or I get an extra pack of pens.

    34. Missing_small

      Creator Zach Randolph on January 8

      So, not getting what we paid for (I launched Ink'd), would entitle us to more pens, correct? If I only receive five, non-special, pens, I will be a bit frustrated.

    35. Missing_small

      Creator Jim on January 8

      Nice pens and tablets. I've been using them for a few days. I like this eco concept and I hope you guys can be successful and get these into stores. Hopefully, you've learned a lot from this project and my only constructive advice is to be more communicative with customers. No customers = no money. Value them.

      I still have not received anything yet. Where is it??

      Creator Marc Went on January 4

      Some people are not upset, but I am. I have been tolerating this but it has been way way way to long. I'd like some kind of refund or something, the creator has not responded to my messages either...

      still waiting on mine in connecticut. dont worry guys, im not upset :)

      Creator Amanda on December 29

      Have custom print orders been sent out at all?

    41. Blankwhite100x100.small

      Creator Steve Davies on December 28

      My pens and journals arrived last night. I'm glad to have gotten them since I'd mentally written this off as a total loss.

      Not having the "I Launched Ink'd" on the journal and pens is a major disappointment, since that was what decided me to participate (it was a gift for my environmentally conscious daughter). But kudos to have gotten this out. Sending me a couple of extra journals was a nice touch.

      Hopefully others doing similar projects will learn from your write-up.

      Creator Bruce Winther on December 27

      Got mine at last in Australia ... Happy with quality of pens and notebook.... Pity it took so long !

    44. Kickstarter%20portrait.small

      Creator Kerry & Kevin Davis on December 26

      Hey guys,

      The latest is that we have about 80% of all the pens shipped (on their way or received) and ALL of them will be out this week.

      The downside is we had some issues with the custom "I launched ink'd" print on the pens and journals. This experience as a whole has been a very tough one and we'll be writing a detailed update on the challenges and problems we faced getting this project done as well as reasons for the delays at the conclusion of shipping, which is our central focus right now.

      In the meantime, we are being as generous as we can with pens and journals. These came out fantastic by the way - we are really happy with them - and we hope you all are too. If anyone wants to inquire about their specific order, please message us directly - we'll try our best to give you an update.

      Thanks so much.

      Creator Julie Bynum on December 26

      Any update? I still have not received my pens.

    46. Blankwhite100x100.small

      Creator Steve Davies on December 19, 2012

      I just got a private email that my pens are being shipped tomorrow. Apparently there was a problem with the custom printing (I didn't have custom-to-me printing, only the "I Laucned Ink'd" on the pen & journal), but they are 'going to make it up to [me].'

      I'm not sure what to think about all that, but I will be happy to finally find my pens in the mail. If they come before Christmas, I will consider that a little miracle.

    47. Kickstarter%20portrait.small

      Creator Kerry & Kevin Davis on December 11, 2012

      An update was posted in the comment section of the latest update yesterday. Final batch of products are arriving this week. 90% of orders will be out by weeks end. Some of you have received your orders and left very positive feedback. Thank you very much - it is greatly appreciated.

      This non-communication is cause for many backers to stop funding projects.
      Please be professional and let the backers know the status of there orders.
