Welcome to Cult Pens
Here you'll find the planet's greatest selection of writing instruments. We stock absolutely everything we can lay our hands on, from specially-imported Japanese rollerballs to limited edition fountain pens; from eraser refills for mechanical pencils to industrial markers; from fine art markers to designer desk pens.
We've been here since 2005, when we were the first online retailer to open those annoying boxes of 12 and start selling all pens individually and the first to bother stocking the rarer colours and refills. You can still buy any item we sell in almost any quantity you like. We also made a commitment to stock every available refill, and we've stuck to that. These days you can find a bit more general stationery here - just stuff that takes our fancy and that we know you'll enjoy. Basically, we're just a bunch of pen geeks and if someone shows us something shiny or cool or interesting, we'll stock it.

We're the leading UK importers of OHTO, Platinum, Koh-I-Noor, Kutsuwa, and KUM, among others.
We're the only specialist in the UK who can offer the complete range of writing instruments in one store - everything from a basic biro to a collector's fountain pen, via specialist art pens and industry paint markers. We're not pen snobs either - we love disposable rollerball pens as much as old-fashioned fountain pens; we're suckers for a cool mechanical pencil; we're excited about unique marker pens.
We love our products and understand why you love them. We stock all the weird, wonderful, fiddly, slow-moving, hard-to-find bits and pieces that nobody else bothers with. Because it's important.
We try our hardest to operate fairly and ethically and to that end we:
- Provide clear and honest information with no hidden charges or small print.
- Pay our staff decent wages.
- Pay our fair share of UK corporation tax.
- Support our local community.
Our Service
We aim to be the best, pure and simple. Here's how we try and achieve just that:
Despatch your order as soon as possible. That means same-day if received by 3pm on working days, subject to stock. No sitting on it for 2 or 3 days; no ‘prime’ service, no paying extra for faster despatch. Just get it out the door and on its way! If we can’t immediately fulfil your order for some reason, we’ll let you know.
Have our customer service team answer the phone - no sales messages, no call queues. Just straight through to someone who can deal with your enquiry.
Deal with your issues now, not later. Emails answered within 1 business day at the latest, but normally within a couple of hours during our business hours.
Returns, exchanges and refunds processed the day they arrive, including crediting your card where needed!
Sort out any problems with the minimum of hassle. We can’t be completely perfect, and occasionally products are defective or delivery services let us down, but our aim is to fix these things as fast as we can and with the minimum of inconvenience to you.
Go above and beyond. We’ll help you find the perfect product; make a special order for that unusual item we don’t stock; or work with you on a tight delivery schedule.
In short: we want to be the easiest company you’ll ever do business with, and to treat you the way we'd expect to be treated.
Our Products
We stock great products. The vast majority of them come from famous brands whose success has been built on their quality. Where we stock stuff from niche or start-up brands you may never have heard of, it’s because we like and admire their work, and is often a result of customer demand.
In either case, you’re buying brand-new, official stock backed up by both the manufacturers’ guarantees and our commitment to providing the best possible after-sales support.
You can be confident that you’re buying quality items in perfect condition, but in the unlikely event that a product doesn’t suit you we offer an easy 30-day returns procedure, with exchange or refund as required.
Commercial Buyers
We’ve supplied thousands of businesses with all kinds of products. From the smallest start-ups to the largest global corporations; supplying Office Pens, Industrial Markers, Corporate Gifts and more.
Contact us with your requirements and we’ll get back to you with a quote as fast as we can. We deal direct with all the major brands and aim to give you reliable, realistic delivery timescales.
Need help selecting a product? Pick up the phone or email us. We have thousands of stock items and thousands more available to special order. If we can’t find the right product for you it probably doesn’t exist. We don’t up-sell or over-promise. We don’t employ any sales people or anyone on commission – just a customer service team whose success is measured by getting you the right product at the right price in the right timeframe.
Public Sector purchase orders welcome.
If you’re a retailer looking to re-sell we can help with that too.
