Best Online Pen Store?

[Nordic Pen Imports]

Hi

I have the goal to become the best online store in the world. I know that I have a very long way to go but I believe that it is possible.

What do you look for when you shop online?

Prices, extra costs, service, alot of information about the pen, information in different languages?

Please let me know so that I can come closer to my goal.

What do I need to do in order for you to shop at my store?

 

Kind regards

Niklas

 

Well, I've been looking around your shop, and I only see one reason not to shop in it: you don't carry Parker. Which makes sense, since Parker isn't properly Nordic (French, I think). Also, your variety is kinda limited.

 

 

Hi

Please explain more about my variety, what do you mean?

PM if you want or send an e-mail to info@stylos.se

 

Kind regards

Niklas

Try this ebay seller.I have had two good experiences with them,but I prefer to buy the small packages of pens,sold under Buy It Now,rather than bid for the more exotic single pens.

They are prompt with sending stuff but do expect to waith a week or two,since they are coming from China to the U.K.Customs has not been an issue as prices are low.

I also concur about R Lewertowski on Ebay(pen seller from France),where again I have had good experiences.

No connection with either of these companies other than as a satisfied customer.

Sorry, this store does not exist.

 

Odd?

Well, your products seem very very nice, no point there, but I'd like to have a few more cases to choose from, for example

+1 for PenGallery

Or eBay...

I had a good experience at

 

www.thewritingdesk.co.uk

 

very helpful with queries, and prompt service. No affiliation etc etc.

 

 

+1 Shipping was very reasonable and quick. Service was very good.

I have bought from www.thewritingdesk.co.uk and had great service. I live in the U.S. My brother has also bought from writingdesk.co.uk and had no problems. One nice thing about the writingdesk is that they will check the pen before it leaves the store.

 

I bought a couple of Lamy ABC pencil 3.15 lead holders, Safaris and Al-Stars from www.redfingerprint.com . I was hesitant with my first time ordering from the company, so I just purchased a small order. Both times that I've ordered through the company, the shipping was a flat rate of 10.00 dollars. I had no problems with the company. I am not crazy about the redfingerprint website but would use them again.

I concur.

 

I have used both The Writing Desk and Missing Pen and have been very satisfied.

Based in Germany, Missing Pen might be a better address for German pens and carries also a large number of inks.

The Writing Desk was one of the first stores outside France to stock the 100 ml Herbin ink bottles and that was a strong incentive for me to order from them.

 

I am not sure whether Portuguese Customs treats arriving parcels from Germany better than arriving parcels from the UK, which opted out of some otherwise common EU policies, but it may be something worth considering if you want to avoid Customs charges and delays.

I noted that most of them are in Europe or U.S.A.

How about Asia side ? Any suggestion ?

I've used Melpens repeatedly: highly recommended.

 

Just ordered a pen from PenGallery as well - waiting to see how it all goes.

With European sites, that's because the original poster specifically expressed a preference for those. For those residing in the EU, easiest way to avoid getting whacked by customs is to stay within the EU (and those Euro countries with an agreement with the EU).

 

VAT in many/most of the EU countries is basically around 20%; add in processing fees, etc., and it can really hurt.

If you are looking for supplies, cathedral pens from the UK are great, to me atleast. They charged me no shipping, all the way to sweden:)

There are no customs within the european union.

The one I have used the most is the writing desk. Great selection, fast and reasonably priced shipping, good service.

Thanks for your information.

Also have a look at pelikanpens.co.uk; Pelikan pens as you'd expect, but also Noodler's inks and a few other things; sometimes a useful alternative to TWD.

There is a London-based online luxury pen store at http://www.executivepensdirect.com/. You can find there not only fountain pens but also calligraphy sets, refills, leather journals and a selection of corporate and promotional gifts. Many products can be engraved and personalised what makes them perfect gifts for special occasions.

I'll second TheWritingDesk and add http://www.cultpens.com/ in the U.K. - I have had very good service from both stores.
