Great Service & Unique Pens/acc. From Pen House, A Global Rakuten Seller

[stevesurf]

This is the third of four mini-reviews of another really great and perhaps the best pen seller on the global Rakuten site. To give you an example and thanks to FPN member Algester, I was able to get a really unique Sailor pen with sparkles (not flashy, really elegant), gold trim and one of Sailor's legendary nibs. It was one of their last ones and they've been out of stock, in case anyone is interested, for a coupe of months (image below).

Their selection of all the crazy and unique things I like is amazing, from Sailor Realo pens, Pilot Somes cases, gorgeous Obato glass ink pots, Life and Midori notebooks to Herbin sealing wax.

 

Their logo'd boxes and efficient, lightweight packing keep the EMS costs down and believe me, you'll love getting their shipments, even if it's just a few tiny items.

If you are in the market for Sailor, Platinum or some of the unique brands like Onishi-Seisakusho, your first stop should be here!

One hint is to use your points on follow up orders to reduce cost even further and realize that the web site does not indicate real-time stock status.

 

Like they say, shopping is entertainment!

Oh, I love this vendor, but as you noted, the caveat here is the inventory noted on Rakuten doesn't always reflect what is actually available for purchase. :/ Still, communication is great, what they offer is unique and they take care to package even the smallest of item.

So true; big order or a single item, great care is taken. I really think that Pen House has the best overall fountain pen selection for Sailor and perhaps Platinum in Japan.
