Only been turning pens for a few months now, but my experience with PSI is almost enough to make me go back to recreational drugs as a hobby.
Delivery is hit or miss. Sometimes receive orders in 3 days. Sometimes it takes 5 days just for the order to ship. I'm in north Jersey not that far from their location.
Ordered a trimline assortment. Half the pens needed the tips to be glued in as the machining was way off in regards to the tube inside diameter.
Ordered a Faith pen starter kit. It included some olivewood blanks, 3 pen kits, AND the wrong bushings.
Ordered several Gatsby Grande kits. Two of the kits had defective twist caps. The larger section of the cap (where one would normally grasp to extend and retract the pen) just spins around it's housing. Kinda makes the pen useless.
A lot of their kits are not inexpensive. Unfortunately it's the typical quality issues common to Chinese crap. There's a Woodcraft store not far from me; but their Woodriver line of kits look like rebranded PSI. Am I just unlucky, or is there somewhere else I should be looking to purchase quality pen kits?
