The General Process
-
An initial estimate will be provided by Ocean View Typewriters using the information provided by the customer. For portable typewriters, servicing is usually in the $280–$385 range. For standard/desktop typewriters, servicing is usually in the $340–$495 range. If needed, replacement parts, including new feet and ribbon spools, will result in an additional fee.
-
Upon receiving the typewriter, it will be tested to determine any obvious issues and whether additional work or parts will be needed to repair the machine. An updated estimate will be provided.
-
Work then begins on the typewriter, following the general process outlined on the How We Service Typewriters page. The customer will receive periodic updates on the status of the typewriter and will be notified if any issues arise during the servicing process that would change the estimate.
-
When the typewriter is finished, the customer will be sent final pictures of their typewriter and a type sample. Any order add-ons, such as accessories and shipping, will be finalized at this stage. The invoice will then be issued. Unless otherwise agreed upon, payment in full must be received within 30 days after invoicing or the typewriter will become the property of Ocean View Typewriters.
