Great service, great quality, great price.

I ordered an engraved pen set in November for a gift in January for my 12 year old grandson. I opted for gift wrapping.

It arrived quickly, was beautifully wrapped and he’s thrilled with it. Having it personalised made it very special.

Great service, great quality, great price.

Gut feeling is worth following

Looked all around for a £100 fountain pen. Enquired about it and decided to order it. Paid via debit card. No time constraining requirements such as engraving just a pen they said they had in stock. After a couple of days, I emailed them and someone called Tom said it was good that I checked as 'the pen has been sent out without address' so they were going to send over to the USA for a new one for me. I asked how long this would take and was told about two weeks. I immediately asked to cancel my order and have a refund. No more courteous messages, just a proforma cancellation followed by a proforma refund notice. Usually, one would expect a company to try and save the sale by offering an alternative. Not here. Not even an apology for messing me around.
My gut told me something was wrong. This was supported by a couple of facts, firstly the pen company is based in Armenia not USA. Secondly, the company had a distributor in the UK. It's now the third day since I cancelled and no sign of the refund hitting my bank.
Currently about £100 down and can't afford to order elsewhere until this is sorted. Sadly, I feel there is a problem with this company.

15 days and still no refund

Ordered a pen from them and after 3 days from order they sent an email they don't have it and said they will cancel and refund the order. After 13 days they sent another email saying they will cancel and refund the order. Now it's been 15 days and still no refund. Seems a bit shady at best.
