This was my 1st purchase but definitely not my last. Ordered on Sunday evening, delivered (carriage-free & securely packaged) Wednesday morning. The Blackwing Gift Box was exactly as described on the website. For reference, if using the pencils for writing, for those of us used to H,HB,B grades, I would suggest opting for Blsckwing's Extra Firm rating. Incidentally, over lockdown I have made online purchases from some big names: the Hamilton Pen Co is the only one to include a disinfectant wipe in the package. That show a high level of customer care that others should emulate. Would definitely recommend Hamilton's.
