Hi,

 

I know people have had good comments about pengallery, but I was curious about the other pen seller from Malaysia, melpens?

 

Any experience? good? bad?

 

Thanks

I bought one pen from them (a Stipula Etruria) and had a great experience. Thew price was reasonable, shipping was quite fast (from Malaysia to the US in less than five days). All in all, a great transaction. Best,

Never worked with them but have looked. If I remember correctly, they want money added to take paypal, whereas, again IIRC, pengallery does not. I often fund purchases with money from pens I sold that were paid for with paypal. It is easier to buy from a place that takes the paypal transfer directly and without added cost. Maybe melpens (same as pensinasia, right?)has changed since I last looked? J

I bought a Graf von Faber Castell Guilloche propelling MP from them this Christmas as a gift for my mother in law. The communication was great. It was a last-minute order when the B&M store I tried didn't have the color I wanted in stock. MelPens had the color I wanted, a great price, and got it to me in Colorado in about 3 days with free shipping. I can't recommend them enough.

Bought two times from Mel. No problems and fast shipment.

I've bought two pens from Mel and received a third as a gift. The first order, I had ordered a fine nib on the Pelikan I ordered, Mel personally called me to tell me that the fine was out of stock and would I prefer to order a different nib or cancel my order. Great personal service all the way from Malaysia. She ships super fast and everything arrives securely packaged.

Ordered one pen so far, may order more. Item was out of stock, Mel emailed and asked if I wanted to wait, or cancel. Once in stock, took 3 days to arrive in TX from Malaysia. Great service, great communication, great selection, mostly great prices.

Never dealt with melpens, though I've heard they're OK. Enquired about some stuff but PENGALLERY and others generally beat their prices.

PG Malaysia is TOPS and I've done a lot of pen dealings with them

My experience from Melpens was extraordinary. Communication was beyond excellent. A very understanding guy. Do not worry when ordering from Melpens.

[menick]

Thanks a lot!

 

I think that I'll order shortly...

 

Now... I need to sell something in return!

Love 'em.

I've always had superb service from Melspens. Once I called them without realizing that their time was 6 AM--and even at that hour they were gracious and helpful (and I was redfaced and stammering). I've also ordered from Pensgallery with excellent results. You won't go wrong with either of these folks! Like Deidre, I love 'em!

Hi Nick,

 

I've purchased from them a few times and have always been very impressed with their service and prices. Hope this helps!

Melpens is just as good as Pengallery - some say better. It depends on the brand you're looking for. Pengallery has a much broader range, but Melpens is sometimes cheaper for certain pens. The level of service is excellent and equal to Pengallery.

I bought about 15 bottles of ink from them once. They arrived quickly, were expertly packed and were a great price. I'd highly recommend them based on that one experience.

[Tsujigiri]

I've bought a Pelikan from PenGallery and one from Melpens. When I bought them, the 200 was cheaper through PenGallery and the m1000 was cheaper through Melpen's ebay store. Both transactions were perfect.

[menick]

Thanks all,

 

I'll probably order by the end of the week then!

 

And if anyone cares, I had heard more comments about pen gallery (more, but not better or worse) so had contacted them first. They never answered.

 

Contacted MelPens and had all my questions answered within a day! so they win my money!

Pen ordered and on the way.

 

Any paid with paypal, with no extra fees.

 

One last step, wait for delivery!
