Super fast delivery. Thanks very much. I thought I would try the TWD Diamine range so ordered Saddle Brown and Umber. The usual high quality ink from Diamine at a price that is more than reasonable.I love the colours but I note with interest that the umber smells very much like some vintage Parker with Solv X. I love that smell, is phenol being introduced again ?Thanks again, AlanPosted by Alan Edwards, UK (5/5) 05-11-2013 Verified Purchase
The package was securely packed. Shipping didn't take long, just a few days. Inks & nibs are excellent! As soon as R&K Verdigris & Alt Goldgrün get in stock I'll be in shop again!Posted by Dejan Slavkovic, Serbia (5/5) 02-11-2013 Verified Purchase
Second order. Isn't funny that shipping from the United Kingdom is cheaper than shipping from the united states? Again I think I saved 20-30% on the price compared to other retailers (including shipping cost).Love the diamine inks, got myself a jade green and hope pink (I heard hope pink is for a good cause!)And also got a Lamy nib italic 1.1mm. This is by far better than the medium nib.Thank you guys, you're just awesome!Posted by Vince, Canada (5/5) 29-10-2013

I've just received my green marbled M200 Pelikan pen with the 14K bi-colour nib, complete with a small bottle of ink and a single green/black Pelikan leather case. The pen is beautiful to look at, writes like a dream and is just the right size to carry in my inside jacket pocket. The case, which I'll use when I carry my pen in my rucksack, is much nicer than depicted. In the picture, the green/black contrast is quite stark but in reality the contrast is actually very subtle and looks fabulous. The quality of the leather feels very good, too. All in all I am thrilled to bits and I'd just like to say thank you for the delivery; I put my order in on the 25th October and it arrived the very next day. Fantastic!Posted by David Armour, United Kingdom (5/5) 26-10-2013 Verified Purchase

Fast service and easy to order. You have lots of useful information on your website to make it easy to decide what to buy. Your prices are easily comparable to the major websites and big brand chains. I'm pleased to continue supporting a local/small business :-)Posted by Cecilia, UK (5/5) 24-10-2013 Verified Purchase
Treated myself to a black Lamy Studio fountain pen with Fine nib and some extra ink cartridges. Ordered late Friday night, pen was sent out Monday and arrived Tuesday. Very pleased with the speedy service, nice that delivery was included in the pen price and impressed at the overall range of pens and inks available. I will be happy to use The Writing Desk again in future, and last but not least, very pleased with the pen, very smooth and looks good.Posted by Stu Bevis, England (5/5) 23-10-2013
