Anyone Have Experience With Pen-House.net?

Hey all, I did a search regarding this website, http://pen-house.net, but could only find a thread from a few years ago with a member asking for contact details.

 

Was hoping to get some of your experiences with purchasing from them, or if anyone in Japan knows of them, are they reputable?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Well, just updating as I took a chance anyway.

 

They answered all my questions quickly and as accurately as they could with a translation service (which was pretty accurate). They gave me the total cost, including international correspondence fee (the tax, I suppose), and shipping, and helped me change my order until I was happy. The item arrived within 3 days, packed really well. Overall, a pleasant experience!

I had a similar experience last month with Pen House. They kept me well informed about the order, the price and the shipping details. The pen got to the UK very quickly but was held up in Customs for a few days. The pen box was packed in plenty of padding inside a larger cardboard box, which I suppose makes it harder to lose. Altogether a happy transaction (apart from the VAT and handling charge that were slapped on in the UK).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
