Is 'Montgomery Pens' a good dealer?

Hi,

 

I was just browsing for new pen sites and stumbled across this one. Are they reputable?

 

Thanks to all,

I won't comment about Montgomery but I will say that FPH in NY has been terrific.

However, it seems that people may have been discussing two separate companies with Montgomery in their name -- that part was never clarified. Here's at least one other thread.

I have purchased pens through eBay from Montgomery Pens and the transactions were smooth, shipping reasonable and swift, and the merchandise as described. I believe they also have a B & M, of the same name, but I am not certain it is the same seller. Prices seem a little higher than the eBay store, and I have not used the non-eBay store.

Why bothering with some hazardous purchase through a moderately honest seller when there is a lot of good places around to buy ? :hmm1:

They are one and the same, AFAIK. I've purchased from the eBay seller montgomery_stationery, and their note/packing list that came with the package says Montgomery Pens and invites me to visit the website montgomerypens.com. Of course, this could just be a random person borrowing Montgomery Pens' reputation, but in any case, my transaction with montgomery_stationery (the eBay seller) went smoothly without a hitch.

Montgomery Pens is a reputable eBay seller, and they also sell from their own website. They have one of the best collections of new old stock (NOS) pens from the last 30 years. Their prices are a bit on the high side, but often, they are the only source for an NOS pen that I've been searching for.

 

My advice: shop around, and if Montgomery is the only source for the pen you want, buy it. They give good, reliable service.

Ditto on FHP. You may also wish to try Pear Tree Pens (no affiliation). I've found them to be quite reputable and, IMO, James P. is the King of Customer Service.

I've bought from Montgomery Pens. No problems. I've also ordered from Pens_N_More...no problems. I think I buy most of my pens from DalysPens in Chicago. Never a problem, lots of discounts and a reliable dealer.

Out of about 4 transactions, one I completed with this seller had an issue. I got a totally different item than I ordered. Communication was brusque and not as quick as I would hope for, but the seller made it right in the end.

 

I would probably do as somebody else advised and would look for another seller. If the item was one I really wanted and couldn't locate elsewhere, I would buy from Montgomery with a minimal amount of worry. In the end, I just think there happen to be better sellers out there I'd prefer to give my business to if possible.
