Pre-order:

Items which are shown as available to pre-order such as the PaperBlanks diaries, have been ordered from our supplier but are not due to be delivered to us until the date shown in brackets.

Pre-order items can be purchased as usual from our site. Payment will be authorised, but no funds will be taken from your account until we dispatch the item to you. If in the meantime, your card authorisation has expired (e.g. passed 'valid to' date), we will contact you by 'phone for your current card details. Pre-order items will be dispatched as soon as we receive stock.

Items shown as 'Available: Now' will normally be dispatched the same day if the order is received before 4pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Orders received after 4pm, at weekends, or during public holidays, will be dispatched the next working day.

Available 2 to 3 days:

Items shown as 'Available: 2 to 3 days' will normally be dispatched within 3 working days.

Available 4 to 7 days:

Items shown as 'Available: 4 to 7 days' will normally be dispatched within 7 working days.

Available 7 to 14 days:

Items shown as 'Available: 7 to 14 days' will normally be dispatched within 14 working days.

These lead times are based on our experience and reflect the time we would reasonably expect to receive replacement stock from our suppliers. However, unforeseen circumstances, such as delays through Customs, weather conditions, airport delays, or manufacturing problems, can mean that the lead times for some items will exceed the time given. We will always contact you in the event of a protracted delay.

Temporarily Unavailable:

Items which are shown as 'Temporarily unavailable' are items which we normally keep in stock, but for which we haven't been able to determine a delivery date. These items can still be ordered, but obviously won't be dispatched until we receive the stock.

Contact us for availability:

These items (usually limited editions), are to special order. e-mail us using the form provided on the item page and we will advise you of the current availability.

Discontinued

Discontinued items are no longer in production, we are therefore unable to supply the product.

Dispatched orders will normally be received the next working day.

If for any reason we can't dispatch within the period quoted, we will e-mail you, advising you of the revised dispatch date and giving you the option to cancel your order. If you have ordered more than one item, available items will be dispatched and delayed items dispatched separately.

Most orders are sent Royal Mail 'Special Delivery' and will need to be signed for. If you are not in, a card will be left for you to arrange a suitable delivery time, or to collect from a post office or sorting office.

It is the purchaser's responsibility to ensure that the delivery address is secure and that only authorised persons will be availabe to sign for the delivery. The Pen Company accept no responsibility for deliveries once they are successfully delivered and signed for.

You will receive an e-mail at the time of dispatch advising you that your order has been dispatched and the amount that your credit/debit card has been debited.

Returns

If during the fourteen days after delivery, you decide for any reason that you wish to return the goods, you may do so for a full refund of the purchase price.

All items must be returned complete and in an un-used condition with presentation box where appropriate and original packaging. Fountain pens must be returned empty and with the original ink/cartridge(s). Any damage to goods or presentation boxes due to fountain pen leakage or other cause, or in-complete returns, will be charged for.

Please contact us for return information and your returns reference, before you return any item.

Failure to receive goods

In the event that a customer fails to make appropriate arrangements with Royal Mail or other carrier to receive or collect the goods and as a result they are returned to us, we will refund the customers account with the value of the goods so returned, less our delivery expenses.

No payment will be taken from credit/debit cards until orders are dispatched.
