RETURNS

Vintage Items:
I am happy to accept returns that have been dispatched to me no later than 1 week after purchase, if you believe that the website description was incorrect. As long as the pen is returned in the same condition as when you received it I will send a full refund, less the cost of postage. cannot give a full refund on a pen that I describe as never being inked or used if you actually ink or use it unless there is a fault with the item that I did not point out. Please contact me before sending the pen back as often any problems can be ironed out with nothing more than an e-mail or two. In all cases, I MUST receive the item back with me within 2 weeks of the original purchase date if you require a refund.

New Items:
I am unable to accept returns for new items if they have been used in any way. You may dip a fountain pen's nib to test its writing characteristics, but I am unable to accept returns on fountain pens that have been filled with ink.

Any returns under the distance selling rules must be notified in writing within fourteen days of receipt of the item. You must return the item to me at the address below, and at your own cost.

If you are outside the EU and are returning goods for exchange or refund, please declare "NCV" (No Commercial Value) on the customs slip and make sure that you state the items are "returned for refund" or "returned for exchange". If this is not done I will be charged import duties and VAT which I do not pay on returned items.
