Spanish stationery store Inktraveler has opened preorders for the Traveler’s Notebook Card Size 20th Anniversary Set in brown only. It’s listed at €98.
I’ve ordered from them before, and they offer free international shipping on orders over €150. Just a heads up for anyone in the US: you may still have to pay import fees. When I ordered back in March, my order was $176, and UPS later charged me an additional $37 fee.
I understand that the rules say customer service matters should go through support, and I agree that account-specific issues probably can’t be resolved on Reddit.
But I do think there’s a difference between asking Reddit to solve an order issue and sharing a customer experience for community discussion. It’s concerning that a post discussing a FORMA misprint, with photos, was not only locked but deleted. That post could have been helpful to others experiencing the same thing.
If someone is posting order numbers, demanding support, or trying to use the sub as a help desk, then sure, remove it. But if someone is calmly describing what happened, especially after already contacting customer service, that feels relevant to the community. Product quality, shipping experiences, subscription issues, and support experiences all affect whether people want to shop with a brand.
When negative experiences are removed entirely instead of simply redirected or moderated for privacy/civility, the sub starts to feel less like a community and more like a curated brand page.
A better rule would allow civil customer-experience posts while still requiring account-specific help to go through customer service.
To be clear, this post is not a customer service request. I’m not asking the subreddit to solve an individual issue. I’m asking whether civil customer-experience discussions specifically regarding Cloth and Paper are allowed here, because that feels like a community issue rather than a support issue.
I used a bleach spray on my brown TN cotton zipper case because I was hoping for warm orange/yellowish splotches to tie in with my orange elastic.
Instead, it came out more weathered/washed-out looking than orange, but honestly it’s still a win in my book. I disliked how matchy-matchy the brown card size and its contents are, and I really just wanted to break it up and make it feel a little less uniform.
You can see the original shade of brown around the label, which gives a pretty good before/after comparison.
Also, FYI: do not use Scotch tape to cover the label. I couldn’t find my painter’s tape and decided to move forward anyway, and the Scotch tape took some of the paint off the label. Lesson learned.
