Ready to order "a few more pens" ...
Please email me the code of the pen(s) that you would like to purchase, such as "Pen W146" and indicate where you are located so your order can be processed as quickly as possible. Once I have all required order information, I will reply confirming that pen is still available, provide you with a total, including shipping fees, and provide you with payment instructions.
All prices listed in this website are in U.S. Dollars.
All sales are final. No returns allowed.
Accepted Forms of Payment
For orders in the U.S., I only accept Square, money orders and checks (US banks only; check must clear first). No exceptions.
Electronic Payments ... I am now set up to accept payments through Square. With Square you do not need to have an account to send payments. You can pay with your credit card if you are located in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and Australia. You will still be able to use PayPal if you are located outside of the U.S., but only if those countries are not being serviced by Square.
For international orders, payment can be made via Square (United Kingdom, Canada, Japan and Australia only), PayPal and Western Union. No exceptions.
Shipping within the United States
Insured shipping via USPS with insurance and tracking number within the U.S. is $10 for the first pen, and $5 extra for each additional pen. Some of my pen offerings (mostly modern pens) come with a pen box and shipping will cost more, depending on weight and dimensions. Express service via USPS is also available at $35 for the first pen (if there is not a pen box) and $15 for each additional pen within the same package.
I can also ship your pens via UPS or FedEx. However, be aware their rates are from five to ten times higher than the USPS rates listed above. If you have preferential rates with UPS or FedEx, you are welcome to use your account so I can ship your pens. All you have to do is email me indicating you request I use your UPS or FedEx account and provide me with your account number.
Shipping Internationally
USPS Express International is the recommended shipping option for any fountain I ship internationally.
Please read your options carefully. The USPS has changed they way they process and trace international packages. It is very important you are familiar with the details of each option before you order a pen needing international shipping.
You have four options:
(1) USPS first class international which will come with a reference number. This option is $35 for the first pen and $10 extra for each additional pen. Some of my pen offerings (mostly modern pens) come with a pen box and shipping will cost more, depending on weight and dimensions. The reference number is not necessarily traceable anymore, according to USPS. Unfortunately, the USPS is not even disclosing to which countries they will allow these packages to be traced. In many cases, these package can not even be traced during the US part of the journey. This is the most economical way to ship an international package and you are welcome to use it. However, if you choose this option be aware that you may not be able to trace your package ... and that I am simply shipping your pen with the shipping option of your choosing. I have no control over the USPS or their computerized systems or their customer service department. By using this form of shipment you consent to absorb all risk and liability associated to your package getting delayed, lost, damaged, and not be traceable at all. No exceptions.
(2) USPS priority international with a reference number is $50 for the first pen and $8 extra for each additional pen. Some of my pen offerings (mostly modern pens) come with a pen box and shipping will cost more, depending on weight and dimensions. The reference number is not necessarily traceable anymore, according to USPS. Unfortunately, the USPS is not even disclosing to which countries they will allow these packages to be traced. In many cases, these package can not even be traced within the US part of this package's journey. This is the middle of the road shipping option. However, if you choose this method be aware that you may not be able to trace your package ... and that I am simply shipping your pen with the shipping option of your choosing. I have no control over the USPS or their computerized systems or their customer service.

USPS Express International is the recommended shipping option for any fountain you want me to ship to you internationally. If you like to have more security and tracing capabilities this is your option.

Our pens are nicely wrapped in tissue paper, bubble wrap plastic, securely packed inside a cardboard box, and shipped by the Unites States Postal Service with a reference number for the package.
A third party entity is being used to insure all packages.
