This is my second try at a Penthusiast Box… I cancelled my first subscription because no matter how many times I requested NO PINK items every box I received was filled with fine point pink pens and inks.
This time around I added the NO PINK order note with my subscription and then added an additional Order note asking that no pink be included in my box. The pen is fine. The ink included was an Emotion Ink in “Kindness Pink”.
I’ll be cancelling the subscription.
I so enjoy watching the mail for this month's surprise. Not only do I enjoy trying out the new pens, a couple of them have gone as gifts to my husband. The ink samples are fun to try. There is always value in the offering.

I started out with the Inkmeister Premium box for $30. I liked it a lot. I had three shipments of that level and was so satisfied I decided to upgrade to the Penthusiast box. First one was great..a very pretty Monteverde Rodeo Drive in Iridescent Purple. The next box contained a Lamy All Star which I love. The next box is where the problems started. I received another iridescent purple Rodeo Drive. Contacted customer service and they sent me a return label to send it back and they would replace it. This process took almost a whole month and when I received the replacement, it was ANOTHER duplicate pen. I contacted them again and they offered again to replace it if I sent it back again and also told me it was an error and accidentally sent me another customers pen they had in for repair. They didn’t send me a label, and I haven’t sent the pen back. It’s still in the mailing envelope. The next box was a beautiful Ruby Kaweco Sport AL. My last two boxes seemed pretty light for the price. In one was a Lamy 069 and another was a Kaweco ART Sport but both boxes had just the pen and the ink samples and nothing else. The reason I give all this detail is because I’m new to pens and don’t know if I’ve gotten what I’ve paid for. Most boxes in the $75 box have had more than just a pen and ink—usually there’s a writing surface or a small pen case added. But the last two didn’t.
The customer service I have received has not really been what I expect from a small business. For one, if I sent a customer someone else’s property by mistake I would definitely pursue retrieving it and would make it right. They don’t seem concerned that they sent me the wrong item twice. I got extremely frustrated with the whole thing, mainly because I have the distinct impression that the return and replacement process is mostly left up to the customer. The wrong item has to be received by them before they will replace it. I think they could come up with an easier mechanism for these situations. I’ve seen reviews by other people that mention the PITA process.
I still have my subscription at the $75 price. I do like the pens I’ve received (except the duplicate one) but I want to make sure I’m getting the right value out of a subscription. I’m going to give it a couple more boxes to see if anything changes.
Got my first box. Inks were alright. Pen was fine point which I don't use. I marked medium and above as my preference. Will give it 3 months to get a better idea.
