Are There Users From The Us That Have Used The Vendor "pen Gallery" (Dot) Com?

[Behike54]

Greetings,

 

Not only did I find a Lamy 2000 for cheap, but since they are outside the US, they stock all of what Lamy has to offer as far as nibs. EF, F, M, B, BB, OB, OBB, OM.

 

I have only ever found LAMY 2Ks with EF, F, M, B.

 

Any feedback on this vendor and suggestions about the ideal nib not normally available?

 

Thanks for your time and attention.

When you use this non-US retailer, have you thought about what you would do if you received a pen that was a hard starter, or skipped, or leaked?

 

Will they take an exchange after the box is opened, or the pen has been used (i.e. cartridge/converter installed)?

I have, which is part of the reason I am writing. What a company claims and what one does, are not always congruous. The fact remains there are plenty of good vendors outside of the states that enjoy doing business US costumers. As a matter of fact, one of my other avocations relegates me to ONLY using foreign vendors. But in the end, intel given the experience of others, is key.

 

Btw, I assume the answer to my original question is NO, correct?

 

You know the Lamy 2000 is a piston-filler, right?

Although I'm not in the US, I have bought a bit of stuff from them. Sometimes they display stuff on their web site when they don't have any stock, in my experience. They're pretty good about getting in contact and letting you know when that's the case, and will try and get it in. But it's annoying when it happens.

 

This has happened twice with me, I think, but it's not a big enough problem (to me) to stop buying from them (so far). Otherwise they have a good range, decent prices, and not ridiculous delivery charges. Maybe worth contacting them and seeing if it's in stock before you purchase though if you want anything a bit unusual.

I've bought from them a few times and have never had any problems. Shipping has been fast, and goods received in order.

 

IIRC they have a B&M store in Malaysia in addition to their online store.

Same here--two orders, five pens, no problems.

Highly recommended. I bought a Pelikan M1000 and later, a Pelkan M800. In both instances I was surprised how fast the pens arrived (from Malaysia to Wisconsin, USA) and I got great prices on both.

I have not purchased from them, but my close friend hhas Bought a Pelikan M1000 and a 800 from them, and he got his pens in with no problems. and shipping from Malayasia was quite fast too, if I recall, he had both his pens delivered in just about 7 days.

Yes & had the pens within 3 days. A 149, Marlen Aderl and a Churchill with an IB nib. Excellent service be sure to ask if you don't see the nib you want. Sometimes they have it or can get it.

I have yet to buy from them but they have a brick and mortar store in Malaysia, which my dad has been to and has told me, looked quite nice with a knowledgable owner. I will pop by sometime when I head home next month. If I manage to, I shall take a few pics
