Packaging was really nice, pen works flawlessly, but the tariffs and broker fees on top of that makes it a bad choice for US buyers to use this vendor.

Completely horrible experience and they are quick to ditch a good experience with you to save a few bucks. Also a real pain to deal with.

I ordered a bottle of ink that is unavailable here. It arrived safely and intact. I was concerned it would arrive broken, but it did not, as the packaging was great. The items arrived on time, too, from across the other side of the world. It is always a pleasure dealing with this company.

I recently bought a Leonardo Momento Zero Grande 2.0 that I had been coveting for quite some time. There was a slight delay in shipping because the product was not in stock, but it was ultimately delivered in exactly as much time as they said it would take when I placed the order. I love my pen, but the best part of my purchasing experience was that my pen was gift-wrapped in beautiful paper (and there were two stroopwafles inside the box) which was a lovely touch. It genuinely made the whole experience of getting a new pen that much more enjoyable and I appreciated the thoughtfulness of going the extra step. Appelboom has a customer for life.

I was very reluctant to buy a fountain pen on the Internet, as in my head it is not a simple purchase that comes with a ritual of trying the pen to choose the one that fits best. The market has changed, , however, the offer in traditional stores is limited to "classical" brands, while little-known or newly founded pen manufacturers sell their products exclusively online.

Being highly motivated to expand my collection, I turned to Appelboom (the site's name is advertised on a page with pen reviews). Recently, I bought my fourth pen on the site, which means it successfully overcame my prejudices.
The service is perfect and extremely responsive: you get answers to your questions almost instantly, the parcel delivery is tracked. Appelboom also provides fast, efficient warranty service (one of my newly bought pens leaked!). I should add that at Appelboom, you can quickly get pens repaired — I have actually managed to bring two pens back to life that way.

I can assure you that the Appelboom website is trustworthy!

I’ve placed multiple fountain pen orders with Appelboom, and every experience has been outstanding. It’s truly one of the best online stores in the fountain pen world. The website is clear, informative, and easy to navigate. Stock status is communicated transparently - items are marked “in stock” when available, and if not, you’re given an estimated restock time or invited to request an ETA. In my experience, their turnaround time has consistently been faster than promised. I also ordered a nib grinding service from their nibmeister and couldn’t be happier. The result is exceptional, couldn't wish for better. Customer service is remarkably responsive, even on weekends, which is rare and very much appreciated. And the packaging - every delivery feels like opening a carefully prepared gift.

Rather than repeating all the praise already out there, I’ll simply say this: The Team Joost Appelboom has my full respect. Shops like this have played a huge role in building and supporting the global fountain pen community - educating enthusiasts, curating quality products, and truly understanding our needs.

In an era dominated by large, impersonal marketplaces, it’s more important than ever to appreciate and support dedicated retailers like Appelboom.

Duidelijke en overzichtelijke website met een grote keuze uit schrijfwaren. Ik ben erg blij met mijn nieuwe vulpen, rollerball en inktpotten / -cartridges. Zo wordt schrijven weer een plezier!

Ben sins kort begonnen met het schrijven met de vulpen omdat ik een nieuwe hobby zocht daar ik huis gebonde ben .
En ben nu totaal vekocht en dus veel op internet em Appelboom steekt er met kop en schouders boven uit !

Appelboom Pennen for me stands for excellent service, excellent communication and yes, lots of beautiful fountain pens! 😉 I bought several pens at Appelboom, will continue to do so. I am a happy customer and can highly recommend this pen store

I've found Appelboom to be exceptionally responsive. Each time I sent an e-mail to their staff, I received a response on the same day. Their communication was clear, concise and error-free. When I received the shipment, I was impressed with how carefully the product was packaged. Every step of the process was conducted with skill and pride.

I had a Visconti Crystal Dream and asked if Appelboom could tune it for me, so I could be happy with the nib. I sent it in, and they corrected all of the problems!

Above and beyond!

Great service—answered all my questions and handled special requests with ease. My go-to for fountain pens and accessories.

My order was shipped very fast! I've ordered the same pen twice, by mistake, and i called Appelboom and they were very kind and accomodating, and agreed to exchange one od the pens with another one i wanted (same price). Thank you veey much! I also appreciate the good prices and variety of brands (Van Dieman's and Troublemaker are here, please also bring Vinta!)

I easily found the item (Pelikan nib unit) I was looking for on Appelboom's website and it was delivered very quickly to Canada. The BB nib is very smooth and writing with it is a pleasure. Terrific service and nib.

The communication was brilliant as was the service. They checked my pen to ensure it was perfect and the dispatch was very quick, 24 hours from them to Manchester.
Will definitely buy again

The pen I ordered was packaged with care and attention to detail, which added to the luxury experience. Great web site, selection, and pricing. Appelboom provided an enjoyable buying experience!

Someone had ordered a Christmas gift from Appelboom for me, which I really relied on. I had one of the hardest years in my life, and really needed that bit of a Christmas joy. But no, instead although you sold items that were *in stock* you let them wait for weeks, and only after they contact you, you mention that you are stil waiting for the items to arrive to you because they were not in stock?! What kind of practices are these? Seriously, this is so immoral, you take people's money making them believe the items are in stock and don't even inform them about this and just let them wait. Companies like yours shouldn't exist.

Just imagine that your customer service is so bad it actually affects other people's lives. You are infamous for this, and yet absolutely nothing has changed.

Fast shipping even to US. Great pen and communicative service.

This is a magnificent pen store with an immense supply of various pens. Appleboom ships fast. It is always a pleasure to do business with them.
