Montgomery Pens

Can someone share their experience in buying from Montgomery Pens. Thanks in advance.

Its been a while but I've brought from them several times without any problems.

Ditto on Pippin's experience. I haven't looked at their site recently. Reason I stopped was my focus changed. Probably go back and take a look.

There were previous threads on this if you hunt. My experience was decent, but there were folks who got shipped a wrong pen or reported terse contacts with them. Do a search on the forum and you should pull up pages.

Have ordered from them several times. I can remember at one point, they were the only one selling the Waterman Kulturs in the cool demo colors. They did send the wrong nib size on occasion, but are a legit seller.

I'm late to the party here, but tried ordering a pen from them, and kept looking at their website and it showed processing, along with another order on which they had notified me that they were unable to fill. On the one in question I emailed them twice and no reply, so after 2 1/2 weeks went and put in a dispute on paypal and see the refund has processed. I was looking for an Aurora ballpoint to match a pen, in yellow, that is not too easy to find but found one at a little shop in NY state, called them and the lady checked and said she had one in her hand, so placed my order with them.

 

Their website address is www.engravably.com/default.asp The folks I spoke to were very nice and helpful.

 

As far as Montgomery pens, never again.

I had one experience with Montgomery Pens on Ebay a couple of years ago. It was not a positive one, IMO. Like jkingrph, I ended up opening a dispute; it was settled by Ebay within hours, in my favor -- I got a refund and got to keep the pens. Which were supposed to have been a set, but had different date codes on them (so, misrepresented what they were selling) -- but that's not what triggered the filing of the dispute; what triggered it was that they didn't include what all was advertised in the listing, and then got snotty about it. Bad mistake on their part, as far as I'm concerned.

They're on my "bad Ebay sellers" list now....

YMMV

I am also a victim... purchased years ago through their ebay storefront a modern Parker Snake, not a cheap pen. I asked for a specific number among those available and they shipped another one that "happened" to be worn and inked contrary to the description. Never came back,

I've bought several pens from them, and always got what I ordered. But I stopped buying from them when I placed three orders for pens listed on their website with a price of $X. They would inform me a few days later that the pen was no longer in stock. However, they would ( a ) continue to list it on eBay for a higher price, and ( b ) not take down the listing or change the price on their website.
