Winners Of The Artline Drawing Pens Giveaway!

by TonyB on February 2, 2012

First, thanks to everyone who entered for making this one of the most successful giveaways that we’ve ever had!

It was exciting to see the entries pouring in, and we had our fingers crossed for each and every one of you (yeah, we know that wasn’t quite rational but we wanted everyone to win).

Now, a bit of bad news.

TonyB – me – dropped the ball on the Twitter part of the giveaway. Instead of noting each tweet as it came in, I figured I’d simply search the hashtag when it was over and run that list through Random.org. Except that, apparently, there is no reliable way to do searches for older tweets. All the searches turned up no results, when we know there were many entries.

We’ll get to what we’re going to do about that in just a minute.

You want to know who did win.

1. For the blog giveaway, the winner was Anne (nytetiger). She will receive:

  • Artline Drawing System Pens 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 0 .4, 0.5 and 0.8mm
  • Artline Calligraphy Pen 1.0mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm
  • A Wallet of 8 Artline 200 0.4mm Fine Pens in assorted colours.
  • Artline 7810 1.0mm Ballpoint pen
  • Artline 660 Fluorescent Highlighter

2. For the Facebook giveaway, the winner was Zenpen (Shirley). She gets:

  • Artline Calligraphy Pen 1.0, 2.0, 3.0,
  • Artline Multipen set of 6 assorted colours 0.3mm tip
  • Artline Geltrac wallet of 5 assorted colours
  • Artline 999XF Silver Marker
  • Artline 999XF Gold Marker

As always, thanks to Random.org for helping us choose the winners.

Now, as for the Twitter giveaway, first we apologize to everyone who has entered over the last two weeks. We hope you’ll forgive us for the boo-boo.

But we still have an Artline prize pack, and we really want to give it to someone.

So, jump on Twitter between now and 6 p.m. EST (US) tomorrow, and tweet the phrase “Tiger Pens Giveaway.” One of you will be randomly selected to receive this:

  • 12 assorted Artline 200 fine 0.4mm pens

Winners, please use the ‘Contact’ link at the top of the page to send us your mailing addresses so we can get your prizes in the post.

Thanks again to everyone who participated!

Shipping Charges For Ink Pens Around The World

by TonyB on February 1, 2012

A while back, the good people at the excellent Quo Vadis blog wrote about a question online retailers hear all the time: What’s the deal with shipping charges?

Hopefully they won’t mind if we follow in their footsteps because our customers outside the UK often want to know the same thing.

Let me just start by saying that shipping charges are as much a point of frustration for us as they are for you. The whole idea behind Tiger Pens is to offer great pens at great prices. Anything that adds to the cost of our pens – and inconveniences our customers – is a hindrance we don’t want.

Unfortunately, shipping charges are a necessary evil. Read More –>
