The site is good but too bad about the shipping price.

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.

Disappointment pipe not French
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello, thank you for your feedback regarding your recent order on www.pipe.fr. At La Pipe Rit, we do indeed offer pipes from Saint-Claude but also very nice quality pipes made in other countries. The beginner's kit you chose was designed in Italy. We have added this information on the website to clarify this for future customers. The whole team wishes you pleasant tastings with your new pipe!

Response from La Pipe Rit
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?

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello, we are indeed sorry for this mix-up that occurred during the preparation of your order. As indicated in our email dated today, we have just received your returned package, which is why you have not yet received the new package. We are now proceeding to send your pipe and adding a small additional gift to apologize for this unusual error.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you very much for your feedback! Your comment is very interesting because it is customer feedback that allows us to continuously improve the features of the website. Since the launch of www.pipe.fr in 2002, we have done everything possible to offer a practical and easy-to-use site. Nevertheless, you are right, the internal search engine can still be improved and we are currently working to make the necessary corrections. Of course, do not hesitate to contact us directly, whether by email or phone, as we can easily guide you in your searches.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to share this information regarding the delivery of your package. In the current context related to Covid-19, Colissimo has forced postal workers to prioritize delivery without signature (that is, directly in the mailbox), in order to avoid physical contact. Furthermore, the documentation you received (tips for smoking a pipe and latest news) is also available on our website. Please feel free to consult them or contact us by email if you cannot find the information you are looking for.

Ergonomics and clarity are present. The site 'MF gifts' seems to duplicate even if it does not have the same references. Why? The Chacom Maya pipes that I had to buy on a foreign site are missing! I am attached to French manufacturing but also to French distribution. Good continuation. Customer Service by phone: IMPECCABLE, thank you

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your feedback following your recent order. We indeed have two online stores: pipe.fr and mf-cadeaux.com. The second website groups more exceptional models (most being unique pieces) as well as cigarette holders. Regarding your other remark, you are right, the Chacom pipe catalog is very vast. Not all are therefore directly visible on our site. However, if a particular model interests you, do not hesitate to contact us as we are able to offer you any pipe and that within a very short time since we are located right next to the manufacturing factories in Saint-Claude.

Maybe a long delivery due to COVID-19 but more than 10 days for delivery when it was announced in 48h on the site.
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us your message following your recent order. Indeed, as indicated on our website, La Poste (and more specifically Colissimo) continues to provide its services during this difficult period. The usual delay for delivery in mainland France is 48h. In the current context, Colissimo has decided to operate (at least for the moment) only 3 days a week and with reduced staff, which has naturally resulted in longer delivery times.

A bit small and just a small hole for smoking, not practical to clean
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback regarding your recent purchase. To clean the inside of the pipe, the Vauen 'conical' pipe cleaners (which you also purchased) are perfectly suitable. Indeed, they are thinner on one side, which makes it easier to insert them into the pipe. First, wait for your pipe to be completely cold before disassembling it. Then, you can insert the pipe cleaner into the pipe from either end. Please feel free to contact us directly by email if, despite our recommendations, you still encounter difficulties cleaning your pipe.

The delivery cost me a lot. The delay was a bit long but special period. The navigation is pleasant but the keyword search could be enhanced for more ease. The choice is very good. However, there is a lack of more choices for pipe ashtrays. Thank you!

It is beautiful but I regret the absence of a filter and the lack of information regarding the type of filter.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to give us this feedback. This Peterson Standard 304 pipe is indeed designed to be smoked without a filter. Besides the photo showing the disassembled pipe (where you can see that it is without a filter), we have taken care to indicate this particularity in the 'Characteristics' section. At this point, it is specified 'Without filter'. In any case, if this pipe does not fully meet your expectations, it is entirely possible to return it to us for an exchange or a refund. Please feel free to contact us directly by email for more details on this matter.

pipe received with a scratch
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello Sir, thank you for taking the time to leave us your opinion about this pipe from the Jeantet brand. As indicated in the item description, this pipe was offered at a reduced price due to its imperfect finish (notably a visible chip in the white finish). This is why we classified this pipe among the current promotions on our website.

I have several pipes of different models and the filters I received are for only one model, I would have preferred to have different models of filters.
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback about this item. These metal filters have an 'adjustable' part. If needed, you can slightly spread the two legs so that the filter stays well in place in the bowl. By making this adjustment, it will fit perfectly to the diameter of the hole (3 or 4 mm) of your different pipes.

I was disappointed! I ordered a pipe for a Christmas gift, but I felt like it had already been used (some marks). Moreover, I requested gift wrapping, but it was not done.
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback regarding your order on www.pipe.fr. I confirm that the Jeantet pipe you purchased on our site is a new pipe. At La Pipe Rit, we only sell new pipes. The marks you see inside the bowl are completely normal; they are simply marks left by the tools used by the pipe artisans during the manufacturing of the pipes.

Disappointment with the delivery. I ordered on the 20th in the middle of the day with a 48h Collissimo delivery and I was delivered on the 27th. But otherwise, impeccable for the rest.

Globally satisfaied by the service, but they forgot to send me one item that was urgently awaited. When they resent me the missed product, it was to the wrong address, so I didn't receive it before me trip, despite my clear instructions.

I had received a discount code by email. I indicated this in my order and the discount was not applied. After an exchange of emails, the site did not want to go back, claiming that the discount code had not been entered.

It's a shame that the site does not recognize overseas addresses and therefore no shipping costs accordingly. Especially since Saint Claude in Guadeloupe is prone to confusion.

It is indeed possible to have your order delivered directly to Guadeloupe (but also anywhere in the overseas territories).

Very low quality pipe showing several dents and a wax that lasted only a few hours. My complaint to Pipe rit received a courteous but off-topic response, kind of bureaucratic. For me, it's over for this shop.

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. We recommend using a specific wax suitable for pipe maintenance.

Hello Sir, your order (registered on 20/12/2018 afternoon) was shipped the next morning, that is to say on 21/12/2018. Your account was also debited on 21/12/2018, at the time of sending your package. However, you are right, we are currently working on a new loyalty system to thank our most loyal customers and offer them the most affordable rates. These new features will be implemented soon and will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2019.
