In today's climate of short term business thinking, I find Faber-Castell's approach quite refreshing.

They answered me that a new one was to be sent 24 hours later with a better packaging (related to the French Post Office not able to track the previous one, I presume).

Impressive! (yes I know, it is an old topic but it is good) I am going to buy more faber castell when I can.

Also I always wanted a slide rule but I found difficult to find one, I may snatch one of those for 20 € .
