Unhappy because during my second to last purchase I reported that my husband had broken his pipe and it turned out there was a defect in the pipe. I had to buy another one and no gesture from your side.

Following a crack issue on the first pipe ordered, the sales service provided me with a second one for free. It turns out that despite following the recommendations in the manual and the blog's advice for seasoning and cleaning, the new pipe broke during cleaning and is unusable. My previous pipe bought from my tobacconist lasted 40 years! It seems there is a defect in the bore of the stem or the quality of the briar.
Best regards.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to write to us through the Avis-Vérifiés platform. Indeed, the pipe you previously purchased was exceptionally replaced. Unfortunately, we cannot proceed with any other free exchanges. As indicated during our last email exchange, to prevent this mishap from happening again, you must gently disassemble your pipes. First, wait for the pipe to be completely cold, then gently pull the stem, in line with its axis, as if it were screwed onto the shank. The best way to do this is to hold the shank with one hand and the stem with the other, positioning your hands close to the joint between the two parts. By following this recommendation, you will not risk damaging your pipes during disassembly. Pipes with a very thick shank are, of course, the most robust. For your next purchase, we recommend opting for a model of this type. Do not hesitate to contact our team by email or phone if you need additional help in choosing a pipe.

the horn pipe was difficult to unscrew
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to inform us about this. The fit of the pipe should indeed be loose without being too loose so that the pipe stays in place when you smoke. In case your pipe becomes difficult to remove, you can lubricate the tenon (that is, the part that goes into the briar stem) with Marseille soap (or a pencil lead, for example). By doing this, the pipe will be much easier to assemble and disassemble during your future uses. We wish you pleasant tastings with your new pipe and remain at your disposal by email or phone if you need more information.

Correct, but a defect (hole) on the bowl of the pipe. Too bad
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for your feedback regarding this Ropp brand pipe. On this 'sandblasted' model, the finish of the briar is sanded. To achieve this, the craftsman used a high-pressure jet to carve the wood to remove the softer parts. This finish naturally brings relief to the briar. It is therefore quite normal for the wood to be more or less carved in different places. If despite everything this pipe does not suit you and you have not yet smoked it, it is quite possible to return it to us for an exchange for another model. Do not hesitate to contact our team by email for more information.

delivery took an awful lot of time and there was no available option to upgrade to express shipping or similar. the brief interaction with the team on this topic was not really reassuring. finally the item arrived with no other issues.
Response from La Pipe Rit
Thank you for leaving a review regarding your recent order on our online shop. Your order was placed on Friday February 5th and shipped out on Monday February 8th. After that, the delivery time depends on the carrier. Shipping to Romania usually takes a week and a half, however, the current sanitary crisis has been disrupting international deliveries worldwide. This is why your parcel took more time than usual to be delivered. We are glad to know you finally received your parcel and look forward to seeing you again on www.pipeshop-saintclaude.com!

Speed of order and delivery.
9 mm filter adapter, very good.
Very good metal lid.
Metal filters (6), too small in length and diameter, it helps but not much.
Very good abrasive pipe cleaner.
Big disappointment on the nature Haiti pipe 5, put back in a cupboard. Very low quality. Indecent filter, doesn't even hold. Will never be smoked;
SO mixed review.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us this comment. The metal filters available on our online store have the advantage of being adjustable. They fit exactly the diameter of all pipe stems (drilled in 3 or 4 mm). Regarding the nature Haiti pipe you ordered, if it does not meet your expectations perfectly (and it has not yet been smoked), you can absolutely return it to us for an exchange for another model or to request a refund. Our entire team is at your disposal by email or phone for more information.

I had ordered a new pipe, some accessories and at the same time I was sending a pipe for repair. There was a delivery problem, but everything is back to normal. The main issue comes from the document to download that links the repair and any additional orders. There would be a bit of time to spend to improve this procedure, for example, to provide an automatic receipt of the pipe to be repaired and a registration on the customer account of the new potential order.

As for the delivery, no issues with the correct delay. However, a small disappointment, the pipe case on the site was gray while in the package it was black, nothing too bad but you could update your photos on the site. And many of your pipes on the site have been unavailable for several months. (When I called you, you told me the pipe would be available in about 15 days and it has been more than two months and still unavailable, so I ordered it from another site, which is a shame.)

Nothing to say about the ordered pipe, excellent pipe. Delivery on time, it's perfect. However, I think that Piperit could improve its service by offering free delivery because adding ten euros for delivery when you have a cart over 200€ well let's say a commercial gesture wouldn't hurt.
Moreover, I would have ordered much more if the 3x or 4x interest-free service was offered by the site like many other sites.
So Piperit is very serious but lacks services that could lead to more sales and especially to larger average baskets..
A good listener!

In fact, it's partly my fault, I didn't pay attention that the ordered pipe was "small size". This mistake could have been easily avoided if next to the pipes there was a "standard" object like a box of matches or a centimeter.

Absence of filter in the pipe...
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for your feedback following your recent order on our online store. As indicated on the site page, the pipe you chose is indeed without a filter. On this model, it is the sea foam part that takes on the role of the filter. The natural porosity of the foam allows it to absorb a large part of the impurities. Additionally, it has the advantage of not fearing heat, which makes this briar pipe even more interesting. We wish you pleasant tastings with your new pipe and remain at your disposal by email or phone if you need further advice.

This is my second purchase (recently by the way) at 'Pipe Rit' and, after a first disappointment regarding the finish of two St Claude pipes, I wanted to believe it was an 'incident'. Second purchase of two pipes worth over 150 Euros... one of them surprised me. Indeed, due to a lack of precise information on the website (weight, length, height, and depth of the bowl, etc.), it does not correspond at all to the idea I had from the photo and I will therefore not use it. Too bad. For my next pipes, I will look at other sites.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for this feedback regarding your recent order on our online store. Your purchase validated on 05/11 was shipped from our premises the next morning (that is to say on 06/11). Then, we obviously depend on the delivery services. During this month of November 2020, BPost (the Belgian Post) indeed experienced significant saturation in sorting centers due to a considerable number of parcels to be delivered. This is why the delivery time was longer than usual (generally, it takes 3-4 days). On www.pipe.fr, the shipping cost to Belgium is €8, regardless of the number and weight of the ordered items. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly by email (contact[at]pipe.fr) if you need more information.
