A Goulet Life

Hey pen friends, The new year is underway and we are incredibly grateful to have made it successfully through one of the craziest years in our company’s history. We’re thankful for your support, and the hard work of our team has truly been inspiring for us as we had to navigate some incredibly challenging situations. As we continue to navigate through new situations with our remote working, unpredictable shipping carriers, and constraints around our own capacity, we're looking at ways we can best serve you and our team. We have some special favors to ask of you as we explain [...]

We've updated our shipping timelines as of 12/7/2020. We're seeing unprecedented disruptions with all our shipping carriers and encourage you to order early and hold on loosely to all expectations of delivery timelines during this historic holiday season. The holiday season is upon us! Wait, is that right? What month is it again? (Checks calendar) Oh yeah, okay, guess it is that time...whew, okay. Well, with that in mind, we wanted to make this blog post which outlines our order deadlines to help you receive your holiday orders in plenty of time (probably, I mean, it's 2020 so who knows). [...]

Hi all! Adrianne here from the Customer Relationship team. While we are working remotely I decided to start an ink journal.  I wanted to catalogue my ink collection and keep a record of the inks I used in my pens.  To branch out and use inks I’d forgotten about. To see what special properties the ink had. And, most importantly, I wanted to use my pens daily!  Once I started doing this, it became a really fun way to unwind. I put some music or a movie on, ink up a pen or two, and write a little to clear [...]

June is here and we thought it would be worthwhile to have a reason to get out our fountain pens and notebook to journal our way through the new month ahead of us. We're sharing 30 prompts to last the entire month of June and hope you'll join us in inking up your pens and writing with us. Some prompts are playful and others more reflective, but hopefully all of them inspire you to think, process, and write. If you do, be sure to let us know across social media by using the hashtag #JournalWithGoulet. June 1: Write about the [...]

We've been working on this for a few months now, and are so happy to announce that our new wishlist functionality at Goulet Pens is now here! While our existing wishlist worked okay, there were definitely a few recurring bugs we couldn't resolve. Some deleted items kept reappearing... the "zombie wishlist" as we liked to call it, and it didn't have the ability to break out your list into sublists. We completely switched software and our new wishlist solves these issues and more your experience better. If you had an existing wishlist on our site, we migrated it over to the new database [...]

 While we are fully remote and unable to ship due to the COVID-19 crisis, we've been paying our team in full to stay home and stay safe. Out of gratitude, they wanted to make this video to personally say thank you for your support, especially during this time. Write on, The Goulet Pen Company Team

Hey pen friends, Three announcements here, some mixed news.... 1) We gave you an update a few days ago on what we're doing to address the COVID-19 virus. Due to the ever-changing situation and out of an over-abundance of caution for the safety of our warehouse and receiving teams as well as for you as our customers.... starting next Monday March 23 we will be transitioning to fully remote working. We are still keeping our website open and working remotely to continue to serve you. However, our warehouse will no longer be shipping orders, and physical returns will be paused [...]

Hey pen friends, Wow, it's been crazy, right?! Things are escalating quickly with COVID-19. Last week we cut our family vacation short to come home and implement emergency plans for Goulet Pens as we dealt with the changing environment surrounding COVID-19. At this point we're sure you're already familiar with what's going on in the news around the world and in your local community, and we're sure you've been getting lots of emails like this one. Even so, we wanted to take a moment to let you know the proactive steps we're taking at Goulet Pens. Starting today, we have [...]
