Pipe purchase in November... impossible at the risk of breaking the pipe to unscrew it... After discussion with customer service, it's up to me to manage it basically.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to write these few words following your purchase through our website. The pipe of the month is a concept imagined and proposed by our team at La Pipe Rit for nearly 20 years. Indeed, every month, our specialists select a quality model, made according to the rules of the art and in limited quantity. During our phone conversation, we indeed advised you on the best method to easily disassemble the pipe from your pipes. We also reminded you that it is essential to clean your pipe with suitable cleaners after each smoking. Over time, a dirty pipe will inevitably become clogged due to tar, and it then becomes very complicated to remove the pipe. It is also necessary to regularly clean the metal filter of your pipes to keep it clean and effective. We are at your complete disposal by email or phone if you need additional advice regarding the maintenance of your new pipes.

I would be rather very satisfied if it weren't for this downside: I did receive the pipe I ordered but in an unsuitable packaging, a faux leather pouch that is half the length of the pipe and slipped into an unsealed soft cardboard box from which the pipe was sticking out. This is very disappointing and spoils the pleasure of receiving the pipe that I had been looking forward to. Too bad.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback following your new order on our online store www.pipe.fr. The sea foam pipe you chose is indeed an extra long model (over 30 centimeters). As indicated in the text description and as you could see via our illustrative photos, it is indeed delivered with a black faux leather pouch. This reading pipe is a unique piece that resembles no other as it is a handmade model from Turkey. Our team takes care to systematically pack and secure all items inside each package so that they are perfectly protected for transport. We have duly noted your feedback regarding the presentation of this extremely long pipe and will strive to improve this point in future shipments. We also take this opportunity to wish you a pleasant end of year holiday.

The pipe arrived with a visible defect before shipping on the stem which has deep marks. It's a shame because being forced to return this pipe at my expense does not suit me and seems abnormal for a return due to a manufacturing defect.

Hello and thank you for your feedback regarding this pipe made in the workshops in Saint-Claude. You are right, it is indeed difficult to realize the size of a product solely from photos, which is why we always specify the dimensions of the items in the "Characteristics" section. When ordering from our online store www.pipe.fr, you have 100 days to return any item (new, in its original packaging) that does not suit you for a refund or exchange for another model. During your next purchase, if you have any doubts, do not hesitate to contact us (whether by email or phone) as we can easily provide you with all the additional details you need and guide you in your future choices.

As requested according to the last order. I had to make two long-distance calls to place the order; despite that, I made a head start by sending an email explaining all the details of the order to avoid long-distance expenses. Additionally, your computer system refused to recognize the paragraph State for our province QUEBEC. But the shop and the content is a PARADISE. Thank you

Ordered on 02/06 with the delivery option against signature due to the value. Had to go to the post office to pick it up on 12/06. Why don't you use pickup point delivery? It would be more convenient. I wouldn't have lost two days waiting for delivery.

Hello and thank you very much for taking the time to send us this message. We do not yet offer delivery to pickup points on the website, but it is a very interesting evolution that our team wishes to implement soon. For your next order on www.pipe.fr, it is still possible to have it delivered directly to the post office (by indicating your name, first name, the indication 'Poste restante' as well as the address of your post office). In this way, the package will be available for you for 15 days at your local post office. We thank you again for your purchase and wish you much pleasure in smoking your new long pipe from the Aldo Velani brand.

I had requested a personalized text and it was not there! As it was a gift, I had no choice but to give it like that. Also, I was entitled to a birthday discount and couldn't apply it. In short, not very pleased
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to send us your comments following your new purchase on www.pipe.fr. A special section of the site (which we have explicitly named "Pipes to personalize") indeed groups together some customizable models. Only these pipes (about 10 models) can be customized via a "text to engrave" input field on each webpage of said pipes. However, the "9 mm straight natural" pipe you chose is not part of this section. Naturally, you could not send us an inscription to engrave when placing your online order. Furthermore, our team did indeed send you a promo code by email to offer you an additional discount. As you mentioned in your message, you unfortunately could not validate this promo code on your computer. For your next purchases, do not hesitate to contact our team by phone as we can easily advise you in your choices, validate your promotional code, and record your order.

Hello and thank you for this comment regarding the repair of your pipe whose broken flake needed to be replaced. The pipe artisans of Saint-Claude do their best to handle each repair in a reduced time frame. However, this delay can vary depending on the time of year and the current workload in the workshop. For these two reasons, we systematically indicate (during phone exchanges and via our website) a minimum waiting period of two months. Also, we are happy to have been able to respond to your repair request even faster than expected. Following your message, we are delighted to know that you will be able to fully enjoy your Big Ben pipe again.

Mixed review: this is the Eole Flammée 2 pipe priced at 145 euros. While the line is elegant and conforms to the description and what I was looking for, it nevertheless has a manufacturing defect that should have disqualified it: the drilling of the pipe has damaged about 1 mm of the base of the bowl facing it. I am surprised that this escaped the verifications. This is the first time I see this type of clumsiness which nevertheless corroborates its 'unique exemplary' touted in the description.
