The Scooboo website mentions that this pen makes its place of origin from Germany, but the actual shipped package mentions that the pen has been designed in Germany but shipped/place of origin is Vietnam...I personally think that Scooboo is cheating/fooling customers by providing a wrong information of this product and taking charges (shipping + duties)for item shipped from Germany whereas it's been shipped from Taiwan....I have initiated a grievance with the Consumer forum with necessary proof of website information, pen cover details, Invoice copies and relevant documents...Etsy quotes the price of the same much below than that of Scooboo but doesn't Ship to India right now....as the product was meant to be gifted to someone special and the same done we couldn't return the product back to Scooboo.... dissatisfied and disappointed by Scooboo and their approach towards solving the issue...
