Following a delivery problem with Colissimo international, no responsiveness. I had to do the research work myself... and delivery (!). After a week and a reminder from me, the seller's only response: the Post says it is delivered. Indeed, since I took care of it myself! (Additional cost: 60€.). If the seller had bothered to take care of it in time, he would have noticed that this 'delivery' was a complete mess - tracking to support. In short, seller's responsibility not assumed: it is up to the seller to turn against the Post to get compensated, not the customer to bear costs when he is the only one not responsible at all. Morality: do not try to fix things, let the situation fester for weeks if necessary and demand a refund.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for your feedback regarding the delivery of your last order to Italy. Your order (placed on 07/09 on the site www.pipe.fr) was shipped from our premises the next day, that is to say on 08/09. Naturally, since your package was handed over to the Post, we then depend on the various international carriers for its delivery. Following your email dated 15/09, our team closely followed your file so that your package would be delivered as quickly as possible. We then indeed informed you as soon as the package was about to reach you. However, you are right, we apologize for this longer delivery time than usual and will not fail to inform the concerned carrier. Moreover, we take care to offer you the shipping costs for your next order (without minimum purchase and without expiration date).

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback following your last order placed on our online store www.pipe.fr. During this last order, we confirm that you did not pay French VAT. Indeed, our website automatically calculates the amounts to display excluding tax based on the delivery address provided (in Switzerland for example but also everywhere else outside the European Union). In this case, our customers therefore systematically benefit from tax-free payment. Then, in accordance with the regulations in force in each country (and as indicated in our T&Cs), customs fees and/or additional taxes may be applied upon receipt of the package. We remain at your disposal by email or phone to provide you with more information about your order content.

The pipe broke while I was disassembling it to clean it. I am disappointed by Jeantet on this reputation.
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback about this small pipe from the Jeantet brand. This model from St Claude has the advantage of being thin and light. On the other hand, when disassembling, you must wait until your pipe is completely cold to avoid damaging it. Additionally, we recommend always turning the stem in the same direction, as if it were screwed, and positioning your hands close to the joint (between the stem and the pipe). Do not hesitate to contact us by email if you wish to have the stem of this pipe repaired. Furthermore, our team will be happy to provide you with all the advice and tips you need for cleaning your pipes.

The site is good but too bad about the shipping price.
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello, thank you for your feedback following your recent order on www.pipe.fr. The amount of shipping costs is automatically calculated on the cart page based on the delivery address provided. For example, for delivery in France, the shipping cost via Colissimo (package delivered to the mailbox, without signature) is €5.50, regardless of the number and weight of the ordered items. We are also considering the possibility of delivery to relay points. This solution should be implemented in the coming months, which will further reduce shipping costs.

Carton delivered completely crushed, luckily the pipes are not broken but the packaging of each pipe is unusable for sale.
You are not responsible for this situation, but given the amount ordered we would have liked to have impeccable items.

very disappointed with your attitude regarding the repair of an obvious defect in your pipe
I find that your approach is absolutely not commercial, charging me €14 for repair and shipping costs for a €64 pipe is very borderline

Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback with us. As indicated in our previous email exchanges, this is certainly not a manufacturing defect. In Saint-Claude, our master pipe maker noted that your pipe was particularly dirty in the stem. Not having been cleaned regularly, the fluff was 'stuck' by the tars inside the stem and that is why it detached from the stem. To avoid this, we recommend using suitable cleaning tools more regularly. You will find all our tips for effectively cleaning your pipes in the 'Blog' section of the website www.pipe.fr. Also, we remain at your disposal if you need additional tips.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback via email. As stated in our response, if your new pipes do not suit you perfectly (and you have not yet smoked them), it is entirely possible to return them for an exchange for longer models. On the website, we systematically indicate all the dimensions of the pipes (length, height, depth, and inner diameter of the bowl...). However, do not hesitate to contact us if you need additional information before your next order.

The filters are brittle
Lack of consistency
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for your feedback regarding these filters for pipes selected in your recent order. These Savinelli filters (famous brand of Italian pipes) are indeed made of balsa. Balsa is a lightweight and very soft wood that has the advantage of absorbing impurities (tar) as well as potential condensation inside the pipe. We recommend changing the filter every 2 or 3 pipes for maximum efficiency. If you need further advice, do not hesitate to contact us directly by email ([email protected]).

It started with a delivery model error, and a quick return agreement, so far it could be better but good responsiveness... but since then a problem: it has been over a week since my pipe was returned, still nothing... followed up yesterday by email... no response... I wonder when I will receive the correct pipe! First purchase on this site, will it be the last?

Speed of service and impeccable quality. I pay an extra €2 for delivery with signature and the package was found in my mailbox, so I 'threw' €2 out the window! I am still waiting for a credit or a commercial gesture from them.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for your feedback regarding the delivery of your package. As agreed during our phone conversation on 30/04, a credit was issued on the same day. The amount of this credit corresponds to the price difference between the Colissimo delivery 'with signature' and the 'without signature' delivery. No code is necessary, the credit will be automatically taken into account on the cart page when you are logged into your account.

The wooden tip of the pipe broke at the point where the plastic tube is inserted. A piece came off. After 3 weeks of low usage (1 pack for 12 days) Customer service informs me, based on the photo, that this is not a defect. Clearly the pipe is FRAGILE then. I did not have this problem with a pipe that costs about 9 euros currently. (20 francs at the time). Not classy then.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello Sir, thank you for taking the time to leave us your opinion about this small pipe from Saint-Claude. As indicated during our exchanges by email, you must absolutely wait for your pipes to be completely cold before disassembling them. Moreover, we recommend that you always turn the tube on itself, in the same direction, as if it were screwed onto the wooden stem. We also confirm that we can repair your pipe but that, according to your photo, it will not be covered by the warranty as it is not a defect.

I still haven't received my package. The site says we receive it within 48 hours and that it is shipped the same day or the next day. These are lies, it has been almost 10 days since I ordered my package. A total scam.
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello Madam, your package was sent on 18/09/19 (that is to say the day after your order, dated 17/08/19). According to the Colissimo tracking, which we will immediately forward to you by email, your package could not be presented on 23/09/19 due to your absence at the time of delivery. Moreover, the 48-hour delay is, as indicated on our website, valid for delivery in mainland France. We obviously depend on the carriers. In the case of delivery to Switzerland, customs clearance of the package can naturally extend this delay. We invite you to read our email for further details and remain at your disposal by email or phone.

I wanted to order a pipe and a pipe tool from Pipe Rit, living in French Polynesia I am subject to significant customs fees for any amount (shipping costs included) exceeding 170 euros. The order I wanted to make exceeded this amount, so I contacted customer service after a first terse response, they agreed to make a discount, but the email was not very clear regarding the terms of this discount, so I placed my order and sent them my order number thinking they would apply the discount. I heard nothing from them until I received my order with customs fees of 37 euros. After contacting their customer service again to express my dissatisfaction, the person replied very curtly that there was nothing to be done and that it was not her responsibility apparently.
Therefore, I would not recommend ordering online from this site.

Hello Sir, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are sorry that your shopping experience on www.pipe.fr was not completely satisfactory. As indicated in our previous email exchanges, we granted you an exceptional discount. However, you placed your order even before the proposed discount was implemented. We also remind you that for any delivery to French Polynesia, the amounts indicated on our site are automatically calculated excluding tax. In addition, customs fees may be applied upon receipt of the package in accordance with the law. Once your order is shipped, we unfortunately do not have the ability to act at this level.

Hello Sir, thank you for taking the time to leave us your opinion about this waxed briar pipe. As indicated in our previous exchanges, we advise against putting water on the wood for cleaning this pipe. Water damages the finish when the briar has a waxed finish.

Hello Sir, following our telephone exchange, we confirm that 'Dunhill' changed its name in 2017 to become 'The White Spot'. This tobacco pouch therefore does not have a Dunhill logo. However, the quality and attention to detail remain the same as the items are still crafted in the same workshops. As agreed, if this tobacco pouch does not suit you, you can of course return it for a refund of your order.

The diameter of the pipe is slightly too large, so the filter is rather ineffective and I have tried several brands of filters.
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello, thank you for this comment. You are right, the tenon (the part that holds the filter and fits into the briar stem) is different from one brand to another. On French pipes, there is often a slight gap between the tenon and the filter. There is very little space, so the smoke is still filtered, but it is not perfect. We are currently reviewing our tenons so that all future Eole and St Claude pipes on our site are equipped with a more efficient system. Best regards, CMM
