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.
Leonardo Momento Zero Grande 2.0
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.
THE website for fountain pen lovers!
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!
Truly one of the best online stores in the fountain pen world
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.
Een fijne winkel voor schrijfwaren
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…Vulpen Verslaaft
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 !
Good quality and service!
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
Appelboom is reliable and trustworthy.
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.
Nib Issues CORRECTED!
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…
Great service—answered all my questions and handled special requests with ease. My go-to for fountain pens and accessories.
Kind, fast and accomodating
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!)
Great service
Pelikan nib unit
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.
A great pen shop
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
Great products and service!
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!
Thanks for ruining my Christmas
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.
Excellent Experience
Fast shipping even to US. Great pen and communicative service.
A magnificent pen store
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.
Shopping at Appelboom is an absolute delight! Five stars!
Appelboom, a renowned provider of exquisite writing instruments, has captivated a global audience of fountain pen enthusiasts and aficionados. Their remarkable offerings, coupled with their expertise and connections to the fountain pen community, have garnered them a loyal following. What also sets Appelboom apart is the owner’s exceptional level of personalized care and attention. Shopping at this remarkable online retailer has been an absolute delight. From the seamless order process to the efficient shipping and delivery, every aspect of the experience has been impeccable. I’ve already placed my second order and can’t wait to explore more of their incredible products.
Christmas-like experience!
I've treated myself with a Diplomat Aero Oxyd Brass for the Fountain Pen Day, and decided to buy it from Appelboom in Europe as the prices were definitely interesting, and they were also selling Diamine inks (took Salamander).
I must say I've had a wonderful experience with them: while the pen was out of stock (no issue, they indicated on the website that I would need to wait for 5 to 9 business days, so I wasn't that surprised), they took care of informing me on the situation, and dispatched the pen as soon as they received it.
And when it arrived, it was packed in a nice rigid green cardboard box, which enclosed the Diplomat pen box, wrapped up in beautiful gift paper, the ink bottle, solidly protected, and a few honey biscuits coming from the Netherlands.
I'm super happy to use my pen with the Diamine ink I got, yet I must say what won my heart was the quality of the service and packaging by Appelboom, and the care they took to keep me updated. It has made the whole experience very special, I would say Christmas like.
