Bought a Monte Verde fountain pen for $91. VERY disappointed. Took over 24 hours to get the nib moist enough to write and then it started leaking into the cap. Each time I take the cap off I have to s... See more

Cost of pen refill, $6, was just too high, and was not very high quality, as I learned in using it. Then cost of mailing one refill, $3, was unreasonable. Later I found refill for "legal - lawyer" gra... See more

The owner of the business Bob Melvin is disgusting. Does not care about customer service. He advertises pens he does not have and when you ask where the delivery is or why it is late, he accuses one... See more

Order was delayed in being fulfilled and shipped. Order was incorrectly engraved and the “free refills” that they said they were including to make up for the delay in shipping were not included. Cal... See more

This has been my worst experience ever…

This has been my worst experience ever with your company and my order is still not completed and very little or no updates have been provided. I also found the refills you have back ordered on Amazon and received them within two days at or below your cost. One of your folks blamed all of this on a new system but no one offered any resolutions or suggestions...after 20 years of buying from you I can see where my value as a customer is not what o would have hoped for in terms of service and satisfaction. I am not inflating any of remarks as it is now March 1 and I ordered pen refills on February 5 and unless I call have no idea about the status of my remaining items! Your company does not deserve a single star for this performance. Terrible!

Deal with Confidence

Great company with very responsive customer service. I have been a customer for several years and even though I have a pen shop in town and like to support the locals, I turn to Colorado Pen because they always have what I need.

I received my nice pen from…

I received my nice pen from Metropolitan Museum of Art with a lovely art exterior. The art pen cartridge was leaking as soon as I removed it from the box. While I tried to clean it three times, the cartridge continued to spread ink and create a mess. I elected to order a replacement cartridge online from Staples because returning the pen alone would have cost half the price of the original unit. This site has some nice items, but now i'm wary.

The product was not according to the…

The product was not according to the specifications. I needed an ink cartridge .25" diameter max. and not more then 2" long. The cartridge you send is 0.30" diameter and will not fit inside the barrel of the sheaffer pen I have. This pen is an older model of a slim design.
