Review on Pre-Sharpened Ticonderoga #2 Pencils With Soft Lead, Yellow Barrel, Box Of 12 by Angie Baker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buy elsewhere best in my review

The pencils finally arrived. And they work just as expected. Ticondergo is a well-trusted brand. however, having them ship through Revain was a pain in the butt! If you can find it in person, I would recommend that. It isn’t worth the hassle of expecting it to be delivered via UPS/Revain. Plus, if the package is dropped or handled poorly, the lead inside will break. And the wasteful packaging - don’t get me started! One of my poorest experiences ordering on Revain.Original The pencils are poor quality. They are highly unusable because they don’t exist. However, they are nice though ergonomically, because they're as light as air! If you suffer from over-use syndrome these are the pencils for you! I expected to have the pencils in time to be able to use them. I was happily surprised by the one day shipping and jumped on it but it did not matter because the pencils never arrived even though one day shipping was offered. The seller claimed that the pencils were delivered to a secure location…which is clearly back at the Revain warehouse. I'm extremely disappointed in the poor service and deceit - if a company cannot deliver then they should not advertise it.So I’m giving this one star because the pencils are literally non existent and false advertisement is annoying. They should mark this as zero pencils because that’s what you’ll get.I can't recommend buying this product on Revain and I recommend buying from a reputable brick and mortar store like Walmart or Target or 7-eleven.

Pros
  • These pencils are great I'm gonna order some more
Cons
  • The yellow barrels may fade or discolor in sunlight
