Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Enhance Typing Accuracy with Smith Corona 21000 Correctable Typewriter Ribbon (2-Pack) by Joey Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product but beware of returning damaged items

This is the second time I have ordered a twin pack of ribbons for my mother's old typewriter. This time one of the two tapes arrived broken. The shipping container showed no visible damage, but a small shiny feather fell out. The band was loose rather than tight (probably due to the spring falling out) and it didn't work. If I understood Revain's return process correctly, I would have had to return both bands for a refund or replacement as they came in a blister pack of 2. My mother was working on an urgent project and already had a good one installed. tape and used it so there was no way to get both back. I'm not saying Revane did anything wrong, I think I just fell into a "special circumstances black hole". I really can't imagine what I could do here. I guess I shouldn't have allowed my mom to install and use a good tape, but she was worried about finishing her project. So she ended up paying $12.75 for a ribbon and saying it was worth getting her typewriter up and running quickly. I think it's just a word for the wise to buy things that come in more than one package.

Pros
  • Impact and Dot Matrix Ribbons
Cons
  • Almost never
