nibmeister or montblanc repair service?

hi, i’m looking to get some advice as my brand new fountain pen bought online isn’t working as it’s supposed to (skipping, hardstarting, railroading) despite multiple attempts to flush it, change inks, change papers etc

i’ve heard mont blanc’s nib exchanged program takes MONTHS and i’m not sure i can wait that long

there’s no nibmeister in my state so i’m wondering if it’s quicker to pay for one and ship it to one for a faster processing time instead of sending it to mont blanc? thank you

(also wound appreciate recommendations of your favorite nibmeisters with links! thank you so much)

this is my first mont blanc pen and it's having a lot of hard starts and is also skipping... i've already flushed it with warm water w/ dish soap multiple times and even tried changing the inks (this one is mont blanc burgundy red) but it’s still having the same issue

per their customer service, they won't allow returns as it's already inked up... i don't have any nibmeisters near me

what else can i do? what seems to be the problem? photos in comments

i’ve been collecting a good amount of fountain pens for years now and i want to get into the mont blanc rabbit hole… i saw this and i fell in love at first sight :’)

is this pen a good purchase? it’s the MEISTERSTÜCK ROMEO & JULIET DOUÉ CLASSIQUE FOUNTAIN PEN

please let me know your thoughts on it! thank you so much

i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and whenever i get vulnerable with someone or start to get attached to them, the guy just ends up leaving me

i feel and love too deeply and i feel like whenever i start to open up to them and whenever they get to know me fully, they run away and replace me with someone just days or weeks after getting to know me and it’s starting to get into my head

it makes me feel insecure and feel less worthy of love

it really hurts, i just wanna find my person and be chosen fully
