They have one of the best collection of fountain pens and inks in the UK. Especially if you are looking at TWSBI or DIAMINE products. Very much affordable and the shopping experience has been fantasti... See more

Pure Pens have blown me away with their customer service. I have bought pens from them a few times but my most recent experience with Sophia exceeded expectations. I had been delivered a faulty pen that I was able to send back to them to fix. When the fix was unsuccessful, Sophia sent me a brand new replacement. 5 star service.

Great experience

Great experience! Fast delivery each time I placed an order no matter large or small.
Nice packaging and lovely products.
One or two times when I did have some issues they were resolved immediately. Very helpful team.
Highly recommend!

Loving my new Twsbi Eco pen!

Loving my new Twsbi Eco pen, after watching many favourable Youtubes of this pen for artists I decided to go for it and delighted I did. First time user of Pure Pens and extremely happy with the pen and their service, ordered yesterday and came today. Many thanks Ross for the pen oh and the fizzers 👍🙂 !.

Haven't received my order but felt compelled to leave a review from their customer service.

I accidentally ordered cartridges instead of the intended ink bottle and upon asking what could be done they told me "already shipped but keep the cartridges and we'll out the bottle for free right away."

That's great service!

Outstanding excellence!

I’ve been a happy customer of Pure Pens for many years. Their selection of pens, inks and accessories is excellent; their customer service second to none. They are highly knowledgeable, based on years of experience. Thank you, Pure Pens!

Great ink, quick delivery and amazing customer service

Fast delivery of ink even just before Christmas. I am very pleased with the Diamine ink for my fountain pen, but even more impressed with their excellent customer service: bizarrely a birthday package intended for my sister-in-law ended up with them, and they kindly let me know and forwarded it free of charge. They were very helpful and pleasant to deal with in every way.

Amazing costumer service

Had some problems with tracking, which was saying that my item had arrived even though it hadn’t. I contacted them and I am very happy with the costumer service. They replied within a day and were extremely kind and helpful. They confirmed when my order was sent and apologized since it should’ve been here by now (even though it’s not their fault). They gave me possible reasons for the delay. They also told me how long it takes before it can be considered lost. And that if it doesn’t arrive by then, they will send me a new parcel with the products I ordered or give me a full refund.

Thank you Pure Pens!

Excellent service

I placed an order at 3.30 pm and the package arrived the following morning, to a region which is sometimes categorised as “remote”. The information on the website about products is helpful, I particularly like the large swatches included for many of the Diamine inks and the ethical items collection.

A truly positive experience

A truly positive experience! I’m new to buying fountain pens and I had all my countless queries dealt with utmost friendliness and support. Delivery is super-duper quick and they make sure you’re happy with your purchase! Very happy to have found this online shop and it’s definitely one to recommend!*****

Amazing Online store for Pens and Inks

Bought two pens and few ink bottles from purepens.co.uk . Nicely packed & quickly delivered to my address in Oman. Very reasonable shipping charges. The best part about ordering with them is they check the pens for smoothness so you don't have to worry. Smooth writing experience out of the box. A big relief when you have professionals checking it specifically for you (specially for under $50 range of pens). I received the bill with a hand note next to my request for checking the nibs - which was really nice of them. For some reason it really touched my heart.
TOTALLY SATISFIED AND 100% RECOMMENDED.
