Best Online Pen Stores?

[karynv]

Several of my go-to fountain pen sources have closed: Binder, I Sell Pens, .... Im left with just Goulet and Jet Pens. Any recommendations? I prefer USA stores for quick gratification but am also interested in getting a good deal. My usual price range in under $200 and I buy modern pens.

 

Thanks for your suggestions,

Karyn

Vanness pens https://vanness1938.com/

Pen Chalet https://www.penchalet.com/

Anderson Pens https://andersonpens.com/

Sites that offer tuning/grinding services

The Nibsmith (Dan Smith) https://nibsmith.com/
Classic Fountain Pens (John Mottishaw) https://www.nibs.com/

 

Not an exhaustive list. Just ones that come to mind for me right off the bat.

Also there is http://www.indy-pen-dance.com who basically took over for Richard Binder and was trained by him in nib work.

Pen Chalet often offers 10% off and you can earn free ink.

Jet Pens offers free shipping but normally just adds it to the price of the pen to start with.

 

International:

If you want Pelikan, Cultpens.com normally is the best price and shipping is not too slow.

For Lamy I normally get the best price at missing-pen.de you can see what they have on eBay and then email Ralf and he will sell it direct with free shipping.

 

I got a Lamy studio real cheep at https://www.iguanasell.com and they got it to me as fast from Spain then US dealers do. They ship UPS second day. Customs did not even slow them down.

Coloradopen have been excellent to deal with and I’ve gotten a few good deals on Pelikans.

I've used Goulet The most but also hAve used vanness and fountain pen hosital. Most recently pretty much only Goulet tho.

[marlinspike]

I like people who also have a brick and mortar, and penboutique.com is one of those, and also happens to offer a coupon code to people on this forum for 5% off (FPNROCKS).

I have used all of the vendors named above and have found all of them to be outstanding in every way. Yes, there have been a few bumps in the road, but all were resolved in a timely and equitable fashion. You can not go wrong with any of them.

+1 Have bought many pens over the years and always been very satisfied with products and service. (no affiliation, of course).

[ErrantSmudge]

I've been pleased with Goulet, Jetpens, Vanness and Anderson. And while I haven't yet completed an order with Pen Chalet (I changed my mind after ordering) their customer service has been very good to me.

If you decide to extend your budget, Bryant at Chatterley Luxuries is very good.

[TennesseeTrash]

Hi Karyn Try engeika ebay Oneill

[MomoShinChan]

Have you tried nibs.com? They are the official retailer of many Japanese manufacturers and have quite a few limited edition pens in stock.

No one has mentioned iPenStore yet! They're excellent, too. I've also bought from Anderson, Vanness, Goulet, Pen Chalet, JetPens, Federalist Pens, Birmingham Pens (used to be XFountainPens), Bertram's Inkwell, and Nibs.com. I've had excellent luck with all of them. I've never purchased from Dromgoole's, Farney's, Pen Boutique, or Chatterley Luxuries...but they are all very reputable and I would buy from them in a heartbeat.
