I ordered a set of pencils for each student in my class. They loved them. I also ordered pencil sharpeners for them as well. Unfortunately, some of the pencil sharpeners didn’t line up correctly so the students couldn’t sharpen their pencils with them. Thankfully, I ordered 2 packages of 24 so I had extras to give the students.

These were the perfect gifts for my 4th grade ELA students. They were so excited to see their own names! And even after my phone autocorrected a couple of names, they still received their corrected versions thanks to the timeliness of this business. I will definitely recommend them!!

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re thrilled to hear your 4th grade ELA students loved seeing their names on their gifts—that excitement is exactly why we do what we do. 😊✏️
We’re also glad our team was able to catch and correct those autocorrect hiccups in time. Thank you for trusting us and for the recommendation—it truly means a lot to us. We can’t wait to help you again in the future!
Order came just in the Nick of time!
I placed an order for the 3 personalized pencils set for each of my students. I didn’t get any updates as to when it was going to be delivered. I ordered before Thanksgiving so I would have them in time for my students before they left for Christmas break. The order was delivered the night before our Christmas party. However, it was short about 13 sets!
I’ve ordered these sets for about 5 years, off and on and have never had any issues. I tell other teachers about your company. So I was a little disappointed this year.

Thank you so much for being a loyal customer and for sharing your experience with us. We’re happy that your order arrived in time for your Christmas party, but we’re very sorry for the lack of delivery updates and for the missing 13 sets—that’s understandably disappointing, especially after years of smooth orders.
This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Our team will be reaching out to you directly to review what happened and make this right. Thank you again for your continued support and for recommending us to other teachers—it truly means a lot to us.
Personalized pencils and pens
I order personalized pencils every year for my students. This year I added the personalized pens as well in the same oder. I received my pencils right away, but the pens didn't arrive. I contacted them and asked them why they were being shipped separately. They apologized for any inconvenience and said they would try their best to get the pens to me before the holiday break. They followed through and I received them on the day before we went on break. My students were so excited to receive the personalized pencils and pens. Thank you again for making it all happen. I will be ordering from you again next year and in years to come.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Melanie! Though it all worked out in the end, we do apologize that you had to take the time to contact us regarding the pens. The pens were out of stock for a short period of time so we had to split shipments to ensure we got everything else out in time for Winter Break.
We're thrilled to hear your students loved their new personalized pens and pencils. We look forward to your continued business - thank you!

Thank you for sharing this information with us. Please know that we take your feedback very seriously. Our records show that your order was delivered on 12/24, but we realize that this was after Winter Break and too late for student gifting. Upon further investigation, it appears that there was a technical issue in our system that inadvertently closed your order before it was produced. Once this was discovered, we initiated and expedited a redo that unfortunately was too late.
Please know that this is not how we intend to do business and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We'd like the chance to make this right for you. As such, please be on the lookout for an email from us at ftoservice@atlaspen.com for more details. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a loyal FTO customer over the years—we truly appreciate it! We’re glad to hear the products were correct and met your expectations, but we’re very sorry that this order took longer than it should have to arrive. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, especially for our long-time customers.
