Thank you for the prompt delivery of my order! As usual the packaging was excellent and very safe. It's always a pleasure working with you, and I appreciate the personal touch.One suggestion: in your "order dispatched" email you could include a link to Royal Mail Track & Trace along with "your tracking # is", or if you're particularly cunning you could link directly to the link of the parcel in question. I admit I don't know how to make that complex a macro though!The Vac-700 B is lovely, as expected. The tines were a little out of allignment which I fixed. Also, the nib has a bit of "baby-bottom": the contact area between the tines is a tiny bit recessed so it occasionally has a hard start (yes I unscrew the shut-off valve). I'll keep it for a week or so and see if some paper smooths it out; because it's broad the hard-starts aren't as frequent as I've encountered in F nibs. If it doesn't improve I'll drop you an e-mail.

Thanks for the excellent and speedy service - ordered a part for a Waterman pen yesterday, and it arrived this morning, exactly what I needed.Wonderful!(and what a fascinating online shop just to browse about in - full of temptations)John Ward, Perth Posted by John Ward, Scotland (5/5) 08-03-2013 Verified Purchase |
I ordered a TWSBI Vac700, some Ink and a journal yesterday around mid-day. They were delivered this morning after a faultless order handling and commuication process. The Vac700 is a large pen, (particularly when posted), but the overall feel and very smooth quite "wet" nib make for a lovely writing experience that is exceptionally good for the price point. For an everyday meeting notetaker, it will be a lovely pen. Thank you for the very prompt service - I am a first time customer, (via recommendation), but I will be sure to return!

I have always received the rarest combination of excellent, efficient and friendly service from the Writing Desk and at best value price for the service/product combination. The kind of service that means Martin and Anna are my first (and usually, last) stop for pens and ink. I wish them every success for continuing in similar vein.

Thank you for sending me a replacement lid for my TWSBI fountain pen so promptly and at no charge. It is my favourite pen to use at them moment as it is so well balanced in my hand despite being a big pen for me so I am pleased to have it back in use. I would get another if it was more robust. Any chance that the problems with the body cracking being solved? Posted by Clare Mach, United Kingdom (5/5) 03-03-2013 Verified Purchase |
You guys are fantastic. A package with a nice shiny pen in it was what I needed after a hard days work. It's going to get a lot of use. Posted by Jules Dawson, England (5/5) 27-02-2013 Verified Purchase |
Just received 2 bottles of Pelikan Edelstein ink; one Topaz and one Turmaline. Both great colours. However, the best aspect was the service given by yourselves. Ordered on Monday evening arrived 2 days later - excellent. Good servcie as always. Posted by John Williams, England (5/5) 27-02-2013 |
