Because of the current Post Office disruptions I didn't expect my order to arrive for several days, but there it was early this morning. What an excellent service as always, from The Writing Desk, and excellent goods, at a fair price too, of course. Many thankyous as ever. KenPosted by Ken Okines, UK (5/5) 31-10-2022 Verified Purchase
I received my Diplomat Excellence, today, after sending it to TWD for a cursive italic grind. I can honestly say that the nib - formally a medium round tip - has been transformed into a really wonderful writing experience! I suggest , if I may, that TWD make its nib grinding service more prominent on its website. Thank you for a wonderful piece of work!Posted by Darryl Foster, UK (5/5) 29-10-2022

I am certain that my two recent orders would both have been delivered the next day but for the current postal situation. Thank you for your excellent service. It is much appreciated. I will surely order from you again now that I have found you.Posted by Colin Ellis, United Kingdom (5/5) 27-10-2022 Verified Purchase

It is always a delight to place an order with Anna and Martin because you know their customer service is second to none. My order arrived the next day and the 14k OM nib is a delight. Thank you. It is very much appreciated.Posted by Nick Williams, United Kingdom (5/5) 14-10-2022

My fountain pen arrived yesterday (I only telephoned my order the day before) and as always, and no matter how big or small my order, I had absolutely fantastic, first class, and very courteous service from Martin. Oh, and I'm delighted with the pen - a Kaweco Dia2. Thank you!Posted by David Kuhn, UK (5/5) 08-10-2022
I spent a long time looking for somewhere to buy ink for my fountain pen before a friend recommended The Writing Desk. Having looked at the website I thought I would try a nice coloured ink for a change, to give my letters some character. Anna gave me a number of options to choose from (they have a lot!), and the ink was delivered to my home a few days later. First class service and the ink is excellent. I’m so glad I found you.Posted by Drew Watkins (5/5) 06-10-2022
I had been trying for months to buy some Cross Fountain Pen ink cartridges. Having tried to contact suppliers, near me (Bury St Edmunds) and nominated on the Cross website with no success, ("Goldsmiths" - closed; "Camps" - closed; "Ernest Jones" - closed.) I then remembered The Writing Desk where I was able to speak with someone who was professional and courteous, took my order and it has just arrived two days after being placed. I shall know where to come for any future fountain pen requirements.Posted by Mr Richard Langridge, United Kingdom (5/5) 05-10-2022
