The price is excessive for the product's finish. The spiral is flimsy and I have to tighten it. The covers are neither strong enough nor fixed enough.

Mr Thomas,

You have ordered on the site with a description of our products.
You are not satisfied, these things happen.
You left a negative review without telling us about your disappointment.

We contacted you by phone, then by email on our after-sales service to assist you and remind you of our "satisfied or your money back" policy.

You've opted for a refund, but you'd like us to cover the return shipping costs.
This is the case when there is a defect on the product or an error on our part, because we take our responsibilities towards our customers seriously.
When it's your choice to return the order (for which delivery was offered) and everything is as promised, we'll refund you without any problem, but we can't cover the cost of return (no Jeff BEZOS behind econotes).

You're welcome to hand-deliver your order, but there's no obligation to ship it.

Excessive price for quality. Spirals very flimsy, covers too soft and not protective enough.

I ordered a notebook and stick it. The notebook is nice, but the stick it don't stick except on a pc screen or on the fridge, they don't stick on paper, pockets.... As for the notebook, the interior is top-notch but the cover finish is light for something reusable.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, which is invaluable in helping us to improve?????.We are delighted that you liked the notebook and that it met your expectations. However, we're sorry to hear that our Stick-Its didn't entirely meet your expectations??. They are indeed designed to adhere optimally to smooth, flat surfaces, such as screens, fridges or desks. We understand that this may limit their use in certain cases, and we'll take note of your comment to improve our communication on this point in the future....

These reusable post-its are a great idea, and yet I'm disappointed :(. Once I've used and erased the post-it (5/5 for this aspect, it wipes clean with a damp cloth), I'm having the time of my life trying to write on it again.... The pen (adequate, I received it with the post-its) doesn't "mark" anymore, I have to press like crazy to get a semblance of ink to mark :(... And even if I let the post-its rest for a few days. And as a result, what I've written and then erased continues to show, because it's so engraved :). Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Response from econotes
Thank you for your detailed feedback and sorry for this experience! It's possible that the pen you received has a defect. In the meantime, please rest assured that you are using the stick-it correctly. If you press hard, the writing may mark the paper. The paper can be smoothed with a hairdryer: a little trick that sometimes helps! We hope this helps you get the most out of your econotes? product.

In itself, the notebook does the job, but it's a pity it doesn't specify that it's an ultra-soft notebook rather than a rigid one, which means you'd have to write your notes on a table.PS: when the made-in-france feature is highlighted on the web store, it's a pity that the bank transfer shows "Econote Luxembourg" ...
Translated reviews
Response from econotes
We're sorry if the rigidity of our covers isn't to your liking. Our covers are semi-rigid, which gives our notebooks a certain lightness, unlike a thick, rigid and therefore heavy cover, made from wood and not water-resistant. We don't offer payment by bank transfer on our website. However, I see that you have paid by credit card. The online payment provider (Paypal or Shopify) is probably registered in Luxembourg, as is often the case. We are a French company registered in France. Our workshop is located in Mougins in the Alpes-Maritime, where we manufacture ALL our notebooks. We have no links with Luxembourg. You can find all the information in the legal notice on our website.

I ordered a notebook as a gift. What a surprise !!!! the notebook is small, the pens sold with it are emptying fast and the used pages are already marked after 3 days.
Translated reviews
Response from econotes
Doesn't that sound like the ideal gift? For the size of the notebook, we have different formats (A4, A5, A6). Maybe there's been a mix-up? As for the pens, the cartridge allows you to write 400 meters of lines, depending on your writing rhythm, it empties more or less quickly. You can only replace the ink cartridge by buying one on our website (x10 pack) or in the shops (Pilot Frixion brand is compatible with our pens). Finally, the pages marked so quickly is clearly not normal, as each page can be used more than 1000 times without alteration. Customer service will contact you to find the most suitable solution and we'll sort it all out.

The ink really takes too long to dry (I had to give up notebooks because I couldn't write several pages in a row). I was quite happy with the diary, but in the end it didn't last: even after several attempts with the hairdryer, you can still see what was written before (especially as sometimes the pen catches and scratches the page a bit). By dint of erasing, I can no longer write in certain places (with little stains that don't go away). In short, this is my second year and it won't go any further, which is a shame. The ink also fades very quickly, so you have to keep a stock of it, which can be quite expensive in the end. On the other hand, the paper is really solid

The notebook seems fine, pleasant to write in, a little downside for the ink drying, on the other hand, I bought it for transcribing notes into a pdf or word file, and it turns out that the CamScanner application costs 32 euros/year...I thought the idea of a manuscript and being able to transcribe into a file was nice, I'll stick to taking notes on the computer...
Translated reviews
Response from econotes
Hello, thank you for your opinion. Concerning the ink, it does indeed need a few seconds to dry, like a fountain pen. If the ink takes longer to dry, don't hesitate to contact us to check that the pen has no defects. The CamScanner application has a totally free part that works very well for scanning notebook pages. You can also use another scanning application if you wish, such as Adobe Scan, genius scan or scanbot.

good basic idea, but when you erase the notes, the page on the pad remains "dirty" and erases badly, too bad.

Hi Lynda, Thanks for your feedback! Have you tried wiping with a soft damp cloth? Chloé from customer service will contact you to solve the problem as soon as possible?

The initial idea is a good one, but on the one hand, pen ink wears out very quickly, and on the other hand, after several passes to erase, the pages end up curling, and it's also very messy. So I have mixed feelings.
Translated reviews
Response from econotes
Hello Aurélie! Thank you very much for your feedback? The ink in these pens is heat-sensitive and therefore water-based, so as with any other pen of this type, it will wear out more quickly than a Bic, for example. We sell refills on our website... As for the fact that the pages curl, this doesn't happen when you use a damp cloth. Have you used the eraser? This is only intended for small areas. Regular heavy use of the eraser over large areas can actually damage the pages. Customer service will get back to you to clarify the situation? See you soon!

I received a very fragile notebook for an article that claims to last over time... Very thin pages, too light a binding and a cheap felt-tip. All this at a price that deserved better. Very disappointed.

We're also sorry you've come to such a strong opinion so soon. The pages are very strong, fragile is not the word to describe the EcoNotebk?

I bought this product because the concept seemed interesting. On the other hand, I don't find the writing pleasant at all, nor the erasing with the pen. And I don't see the point of the digital aspect. In short, I must be off target. I'll go back to my classic notebooks and pencil+eraser :)
