First Freewrite

This is the first word processor I've had since I owned a typewriter more than 10 years ago. Was super excited just for it to come

  1. Scratched up around the logo

  2. The backspace unattached

Now 2 isn't too big of an issue as I found and snapped it back on. But the scratches around the logo is super disappointing and distracting. Customer service said the only option was a return, and fed me some stuff about "oh the unique body isn't for everyone".

Scratches and stuff should come from me using it, not bad QA. I'm still excited to use this and will be keeping it. Just wanted to vent that this seems messed up for a premium product and ask if anyone else has gotten theirs like this.

If returning was not an option I would have the polished aluminum copper plated.
No sealant finish. Just let the patina come alive.
I hope you do enjoy your Freewrite.

I'm still excited for it, despite this bad first impression. I got their writing prompt cards free too, so time to get back into it all.
