Excellent service, very speedy indeed. Highly recommended.Posted by Philip Berridge, UK (5/5) 10-11-2020
Brilliant service as before. Received my new TWSBI pen and a bottle of de Atramentis ink today. Order was only placed 36 hours ago. Superb service, well packaged and arrived completely intact. I will be back for more I suspect!Posted by David Rodgers (5/5) 10-11-2020 Verified Purchase
Wow, what a pleasure to come across this crowd. I first stumbled upon them when just doing a general search on what fountain pen to buy, their article popped up and it was a most informative read. All the questions I had were simply and logically answered in a well written, well displayed and easy to read manner. The fact that they were on holidays at the time and a little banner kept popping up warning me of the dates of their absence was also a delight to me for two reasons. Firstly that they were a family concern and saw fit to close the shop for a week and enjoy a holiday together at an unconventional time of year, and secondly that they really are personally involved with the business not just leaving it in the care of staff. They had a fantastic stock of pens, and though I couldn’t immediately tell, once I added something to the shopping cart I discovered that their prices were really quite good even with delivery to Australia. I ordered a pen and ink and notebook on the weekend and it was dispatched by early afternoon Monday their time. I have not yet received my purchase but my experience thus far in dealing with this company has been in every way a delight. A website that is professionally presented, works properly and service to perfectly reflect that is something I can’t say I often experience, congratulations to The Writing Desk. I look forward to receiving my new fountain pen with ink and paper to boot.Posted by Brendan Stevens, Australia (5/5) 09-11-2020 Verified Purchase
Have just bought a 1 mm Sailor High Ace neo Clear Calligraphy pen. Excellent! For those of us with small handwriting, it is ideal, especially if you like to write with the nib turned around - equally smooth in both orientations. Lots of variation in line width even though the nib is so narrow. Haven't yet opened the 2 mm version that I bought at the same time - saving that for a treat later!Posted by Dr J.C.

Placed my order for pen and Ink last week. Delighted to have small parcel a few days later. Excellent service and it is wonderful writing with a new TWSBI fountain pen to take most of the weight from my decade old Lamy. Thank you.Posted by Ian - Callander, Scotland (5/5) 08-11-2020
Excellent company to deal with. This is the first order I have placed with them and I am delighted to find a company who sell the lovely Lalo writing paper, I have used it for years as I think you cannot beat a 'proper' letter written with a fountain pen! So glad to have found this company and will definitely be using it again. Prompt delivery too. 10/10Posted by Christine Rees, UK (5/5) 07-11-2020
Very efficient service. Huge choice. My only query is to ask why I can’t pay by credit card? I don’t use PayPal, so I had to make a bank transfer which seems rather long winded.
