I was looking for a hard to find eraser refill. Left request in email and received followup when it was available.
Arranged for wire payment from US to UK. Received refills promptly. Always nice to work with someone who follows up and does what they said they would.

The email communication from Steve was excellent and the item arrived safely in Australia from the UK in 7 days and was very well packed.
The whole transaction was seamless and so easy and I wish all online transactions could be like this one.
You can confidently deal with Penbox as a trusted seller.

I've been trying to find a long-discontinued pen case – Steve not only exactly the model I was talking about, but even had stock. Genuine expertise and knowledge - and very helpful. Highly recommended!

Just purchased a pen as a present for my wife. Good and friendly advice given by Steve on suitable options. Excellent communication regarding delivery. Very pleased with my purchase.
Highly recommend.

I recently purchased a Cross Century II Fountain Pen from a well known online auction site, only to find the plastic ink feed under the nib had snapped off. Turns out replacements are as rare as hens teeth, but Steve at the PenBox came up trumps. Not only did he have what I was looking for, it arrived within a couple of days. Top marks, highly recommended.

Steve gave great customer support, found the items I was looking for, forwarded quickly and sent at for a reasonable price.
A really good company to deal with

This was a first time purchase for me from Penbox. I had spotted their old website and there was advertised a Porsche 3110 Tec Flex fountain pen with a fine nib. I was amazed to find it still in stock and at a very good price. Steve, the owner, was very helpful, going off to check the stock and giving a good description over the phone of both the pen and the packaging.
I paid by card late in shop opening hours on a Thursday so the pen was shipped the next day by RMSD and arrived at my far distant address on Monday.
I was concerned that the nib would be too fine for me, but this Porsche nib writes more like a medium. This is something that I am sure Steve would have told me if I had thought to ask. I was determined to have the pen one way or another.
I just wish I lived closer so I could drop into what sounds like a traditional pen shop rather than an anonymous warehouse on an industrial estate somewhere. The travel cost would be prohibitive though, around the cost of two mid-level fountain pens.
The only downside is that there is no way of seeing a stock list, which strikes me as a loss to customers as well as the business, but I understand Steve's reasoning for this. There may be pens he has in stock that would interest me, or perhaps a suggestion of something that I might like to consider, but I have nothing particular in mind at the moment.
I am in the process of ordering another pen, if he still has it in stock, so that must say something for the customer service.
I would thoroughly recommend Penbox taking my first experience into account.

I wanted a difficult to find a converter for an old Waterman pen - Penbox had it and delivery was quick and efficient. Excellent comms too - I couldn't be happier! A great company to deal with, and they hold a veritable treasure chest of pens and parts.

Delighted to find that Penbox had a hard to find old stock Waterman CF converter in stock. My enquiry was met with a prompt and helpful response, and the item was dispatched without delay.

Penbox had a rare pen I have been looking for in stock. I was nervous to buy such an expensive item online, but the shop owner was kind enough to answer all of my questions and kept me updated through the whole process. Very reassuring.
The pen arrived quickly and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm sure that I will buy from him again. I feel very lucky to have found a new and unused Pelikan Stresemann m1005 with a broad nib. They are not easy to come by these days.

Needed to find refills for a Cross Ballpoint pen but failed to source them from previous supplier (Amazon).
Found Penbox online and received a very fast response that the required refills were in stock. One phone call to confirm and pay and refills received next day.
Excellent service and no hesitation in recommending. Will be first port of call for future purchases.

I was hoping for some advice on a scratchy nib and the owner was very knowledgeable and helpful. He replaced the nib with one more suitable for me from stock, and the pen is so much smoother and a joy to use now.
The service was excellent, and I had a good time chatting about pens and other topics with the owner. It was well worth the journey and I'll be sure to recommend Penbox to friends and family.

Steve at Penbox was very helpful when I was looking to buy a Pelikan M800 Brown/Black with B nib.
There was no pressure to buy , but lots of knowledge & excellent traditional customer service.
Penbox was the only supplier I could find of this 2019 Special Edition and there are lots of other hard to find gems in stock.

My order from Penbox was very modest (refills not availabe elsewhere) but Steve was helpful and delivery was very quick. There was a slight problem with the order but Steve resolved this quickly with no hassle at all. Would strongly recommend.

Steve was very friendly and helpful throughout the process of buying my Pelikan M1000, and he processed the order very promptly.
I'd be very happy to buy from Penbox again.

What an excellent experience as always, bought 2 amazing pens as gifts for Christmas, nothing is too much trouble for Stephen, he made sure the fountain pen was just as we wanted it, even exchanged the nib for an extra fine. I would recommend this company, quality pens and amazing service, thank you.

Excellent transaction over the phone. Pen - a Pelikan - arrived incredibly fast. Beautifully and solidly wrapped too.
