Fake Jotter or just failed quality control by Parker?
I lost my good old Jotter so I decided to order a replacement from Amazon. This was a bad idea.
First of all the packaging is different from the description pictures or from the other review pictures.
Second, the pen does feel lighter than my previous Jotter.
Third, if you see my pictures you notice a hump on the bottom of the pen. Two shells of the pen doesn't even line up. I can feel that hump whenever I'm hold the pen. Very disturbing. (changed the color to black and white for better visibility)
Fourth, when I opened up the pen to check to ink, the label was a bit washed off. This might be because it's a counterfeit ink or a used ink.
Lastly as someone mentioned on another review, it does smell a bit weird. Like when you receive a product from China and it smells? That kinda smell.
So my recommendation is don't purchase this from Amazon. I'm not sure if I've received a fake Jotter or Parker's failed quality controlled product. Either way this was an unpleasant experience.
