I have a Gravitas pen, and the quality is top notch, right up with Pilot or Platinum. Thank you gentlemen, I am eager to see the fruits of your labor and to add more Gravitas pens to my home.

Thank you so so much - we clicked together being so different in what each shine at, we both have very enthusiastic personalities when it comes to writing instruments and I think this will be a major step into the right direction for Gravitas. We are 4-5 weeks away from being ready - final stretch now, we are testing the platform, shipping services, accounting and books - inventory managing system and implementations. There will be a lot of motion this autumn from Gravitas

@@pen.venture May I ask you for some support. I bought a Twist rollerball from Ben in silver. Unfortunately the backend fell apart and Ben advised me to glue it in again. I made this but the pen wasn‘t working anymore. Ben was generous enough to send me a new pen which is highly appreciated but the replacement pen was black instead of silver. I asked him a couple of times for the possibility to buy a replacement part of that turning part at the backend, but never got an answer. You mentioned yesterday that you are planning repairs as well. Is there a chance to buy such a replacement from you? Kind regards Dirk

Love your pens, Ben. Got 6 of them, but getting the last one, a Gravitas Kyuseido Kakari, was torture for me. Over 3 months with no communication and no delivery estimate. Now I understand why that happened. Glad you’re now teaming up with Emi. Your design and engineering talent combined with Pen Venture’s distribution and communication skillsets sounds like a match made in heaven. Best of luck to both of you guys!

So glad I found this. Was about to send a final grumpy message without expecting a response but now it feels like there's hope - I am so excited at the prospect of getting my hands on a pen I've been looking forward to for months, and it sounds like if it does arrive and I love it, I can get more with confidence. Props to both of you, and as a disabled entrepreneur with a small start up who's had decades of mental health issues, big respect to Ben and solidarity. It's really hard juggling what you excel at and what you struggle at: a partnership like this is worth its weight in gold.

I do not know if Ben is reading the comments, but Ben is a person who seems to reside both in Heaven and Hell. He has considerable talent, creativity and technical prowess to produce pens that are unlike anything in the market. However me and my friends have had mixed results dealing with him. I do not want to list out bad laundry but my initial comment of saying he resides both in heaven and hell is because he deserves praise and also receives condemnation from others. In this video, Ben seems contrite and remorseful. I think Emy will definitely be an asset in terms of distribution and also boost marketing with his videos. I suspect the prices of this pen will rise but it needs to be priced as such for the enterprise they plan to succeed. So Ben, please do your best and get us our pens. I think Ben has not even tapped the limits of his potential in terms of what he can produce. Ben please remember that we love your pens. Don’t forget that.

well he does read some comments - not sure if all or so since he left for Ireland as we uploaded this video :D Ben was really tired from all the travel and work we did that week and maybe the the video hits different because some ppl commented he was sad in the video :D actually he was happy for everything we could achieve and for the future he was very enthusiastic to start as soon as possible. Yes the pricing will be reflecting some of the new challenges of a multi person operation with its services and all of the things that derive from it but there is still a lot of writing instrument to get from him even after the prices will increase from what they are now. we've seen what Ben is developing ... stay tuned ... 2024 will be just the start of something awesome, what follows is very interesting

Ben is a great craftsman and Emy is a great dealer. I can say I tired both of them. I feel shame to say that but Emy knows how to fix a problem and how to handle an angry customer with true explanations, kindness and effort( I'm really sorry for that again I complained to much about a missing sleeve which Emy aims to protect my pen from scratching and send me better ones on my next order). For me the way materials used and pens designed shows me that Ben is a perfect designer who has great products and and after this video I understand again Ben is someone who likes to improve his products. This collaboration is an amazing new. Producing something and selling it needs different qualifications. Collaborating with Emy by far having a step backward. I'm pretty sure you are going to develop Gravitas Pens so much faster then you imagine. I'm really happy for both of you and good luck in your new journey.

Hi Emy, any thoughts of using some postal carriers in the future besides the DHL for us who don't mind a bit longer wait? Also personally I'm just across the border in Serbia and DHL here charges 50euro through a 3rd party to handle the imports which makes ordering cost prohibitive in some cases for small to medium orders. I know it adds to the logistics but it doesn't hurt to just ask :) In any case wish you all the best in your new pen ventures (pun intended) :)

Thank you :D Yes pens are designed by Ben (tho he works and designs from world wide - last time we traveled together he designed a pen while on a train :)) - can we call it a pen designed in Romania? since we where traveling in Romania ) - pens are manufactured in parts where the capabilities of machining and the quality of work is presented at the best pricing, including with many of these parts being made in Ireland - then everything gets to be tested for its quality and properties in labs then if they pass the test - they are shipped in Ireland where everything is assembled / tested and shipped world wide. When we will have the partnership ready - from Ireland they will be sent to us to be sent to Gravitas customers :D

Ordered a pen at March 15th (Already 3 months passed), still no reply and the status is the same: "order is pending". Hope this cooperation will make things happen. Ben makes great pens, hope will get ordered pen. Wish prosperity to you both!

Congratulations on the partnership. In fact, the brand has a lot of quality but some of the worst after-sales service I know. Ben did well in accepting his weaknesses, but it is important to solve all the problems that customers saw in the company. Let's see what will happen

I ordered on gravitas and then found out about this.. I’ve now ordered on pen venture and my pen venture has shipped, still nothing on gravitas… I just want a refund. It’s a bit ridiculous.

Gravitas LLC is a different company than Pen Venture LLC - we handle our orders with items that we keep in stock and when it comes to 95% of the brands we retail, the items we have in stock and if we dont have them its marked sold out or if its coming on order only - its mentioned in the specifications (description) of the item - with delivery time in between 1-2 weeks

as stated in our video ben will fulfil each order placed on gravitas.com - at one point in the next period he will make the announcement that the website will no longer take new orders and will be on a pause while the existing pending orders will be fulfilled and shipped - from that moment we hope than in 1 to 2 weeks the website we have in works now will be switched to the gravitas.com domain and together with the stock shipped physically in Romania we will wait for Ben to join us and we go live, starting to take orders on the new website that will operat on the old domain with fulfilment from Romania under the supervision of our team

Hi Ben and Emil. I love Gravitas pens. But the only I’ve received was from you Emil, and Pen Venture. The others pens and accessories I’ve ordered directly on the Gravitas website, because they was not available with the options I wanted, are still pending for now more than 3 months. #08288 and #08210. I’ve send so many emails I cannot count them, with no answer. Can you please confirm me Emil you are about to manage those 2 orders ? I don't care about the delay as long as I know I'll receive my order. Thank a lot to both of you.
