ElGranero Typewriter.Company

Ania and Jacek are true professionals, not only in terms of typewriter reconditioning, but also regarding the customer service, which exceeded any expectations. We had a great communication, they were understanding and incredibly quick in responding any of my questions and clearing out any doubts. I sent the typewriter as a gift and it was a great success. It was wrapped nicely and ready for use, working well and in great condition. Would definitely buy again.

I purchased an Olympia Splendid 66 for my wife. It came very well packed. They are in Spain, I am in the US. There were a few keys that stuck right out of the box. I emailed and they sent a video that explained how to manipulate the typebar to loosen the stuck keys. It was easy and I fixed the two or three keys in a couple minutes. (They explained that it is very common to have stuck keys on my model and I don’t feel this was unusual) Another issue I emailed them about was the weight of the shift key. It requires a lot of force which makes it uncomfortable to use capital letters. Extension springs offset the weight of the carriage. I think possibly the springs on ours were worn. They rest in the extended position and the typewriter is from 1966. I emailed about this and got no response. I called several spring manufacturers to price replacements, but since it was an uncommon size the cost was $65 per spring. In the end, I decided to use rubber bands to offset the weight of the carriage. I purchased from El Grandero because they were so helpful, pleasant and responsive when I contacted them about purchasing a typewriter for my wife. However, I’m disappointed that they never got back to me about the shift key carriage spring issue. Until this issue I had good interactions with them.

Profesional service before and after sales. Very good and selected items to choose from. Fast delivery. Very good prices. Very helpfull people.

I was looking for a small typewriter with Spanish keyboard and handwritten typography. I contacted El Granero and to my surprise they had an Olympia De Luxe that fulfilled my conditions and they offered to paint it of the color I wanted. The pistachio green is my favorite color and now I have in my hands the typewriter of my dreams. Not only it is beautiful but it works perfectly, as if it was new. I could not be happier with my purchase. Thank you Ania and Jacek!

My typewriter arrived so well packed that I never saw anything like it. Every possible moving part was carefully fixed in place and protected. A safe arrival of such a heavy and delicate object was a big concern for me, and it is clear ElGranero really know their stuff when it comes to shipping objects lik these. Anyway, that aside, the Royal typewriter was like new - absolutely mint and beautiful, like a time capsule from the past. Using it is like going back tp 1936. Now I have to make it mine with lots of use! Thank you ElGranero!

I bought a beautiful Hermes Baby typewriter for my house from Elgranero and it arrived really quickly! Elgranero packed it so safely and carefully that the typewriter arrived in pristine condition. Opening the parcel was an amazing experience! I marvelled at the many layers of packaging material including a delightful wrapping foil that made me feel like a kid receiving a birthday present! Thank you. And then inside the case, a free cleaning cloth in the same apple green shade as the Hermes Baby which also helped to cushion and protect the keys and front panel of the typewriter during shipping, the replica manual in a green envelope, the Thank You tag tied to the return carriage lever, AND BEST OF ALL, the heartfelt TYPEWRITTEN letter from you both which I delighted in reading! It did not feel like something I had bought, it felt like a gift and letter from old friends ! I am keeping the letter and I will treasure it ! What a lovely and personal gesture. Heartfelt THANKS to ElGranero for my beautiful Hermes Baby typewriter. It is so clean, has no smell, and it is such a delight to look at and to use. I did not have to do my usual vacuuming and wiping, instead it went straight into my display case as I did not need to worry about dirt or bugs. Well worth every dollar I paid for it ! I would recommend the ElGranero Typewriter.Company without a moment's hesitation!

I recently made my first purchase from the team at El Granero, and I could not be happier. When the machine came it was extremely well packed, and it was cleaner and in better condition than I had expected from the description (with most sellers it’s the other way round). And it works perfectly, just as described. They are prompt to respond and do so with helpful and honest comments. I do not hesitate to give them my highest recommendation and have already ordered another typewriter from them. It should be noted that they have a number of interesting vintage items, especially a wide selection of typewriters, both those for the collector and more common models some of which have been repainted in appealing color combinations. These are great for regular typing, for accents around the house or for use by visitors to record their thoughts as a sort of guest book.

Fantastic product, perfectly restored and shipped. All done with great love and joy in the product. It is clear that these folks care deeply about what they do, how they do it, and having satisfied customers! My strongest recommendation!

Bought a refurbished Olivetti typewriter from ElGranero Typewriter Company. 100% happy with response speed, delivery and of course the typewriter itself is exactly what I need. Couldn't be happier. Thanks!

Iconic Typewriter in best condition. Efficient and careful communication. Fast and safe. Exemplary way of work - all at its best!

I bought a reconditioned vintage typewriter from ElGranero for my 11 year old Daughter for Christmas after finding them on Etsy. The typewriter was shipped from Spain to England and arrived in good time and in fantastic condition. As we had conversed online about who the typewriter was for and my daughter's age and interests, the typewriter came with a lovely note, written on the machine itself and still wrapped round the cylinder - a very thoughtful addition. My Daughter treasures the typewriter and loves writing on it - just for the sound it makes sometimes! I couldn't recommend ElGranero Typewriter Company higher - wonderful service!
