Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Montegrappa shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Montegrappa offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Montegrappa at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Montegrappa? Wrong! If the Montegrappa is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Montegrappa then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Montegrappa? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Montegrappa and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Montegrappa wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Montegrappa then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Montegrappa site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Montegrappa, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Montegrappa, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Montegrappa is the oldest Italy manufacturer of fine writing instruments, founded as "Manifattura pennini d'oro e penne stilografiche" ("Maker of gold nibs and fountain pens") in 1912. Their products are still manufactured in their original factory by the shores of the river Brenta, in one of the most charming parts of Bassano del Grappa - near Vicenza, in the North-East of Italy.

During the First World War Bassano was a centre of military operations. Among the many soldiers who used the company's pens (Elmo at that time) for their correspondence were two celebrated 20th century writers, Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos, who had both volunteered for service as ambulance drivers.

In the Thirties the company enjoyed its most magnificent phase. It was a period when the fountain pen became widespread and the products of the house of Bassano met the taste of the public with their sober design, the variety of their colours and materials (among the first to use celluloid and galalith), the perfect operation of their technical solutions, and the originality and precision of their manufacturing techniques.

Since 2000 the Montegrappa company is part of the luxury goods Richemont group, based in Switzerland.
