Making A Purchase
Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our Catalogue, and click on any items that you wish to buy and put them into the shopping basket. After you have finished your selection, click on "Checkout" and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to satisfy the order. You can delete items or change quantities at any time by clicking on View Basket. Delivery and VAT will be confirmed on the second page of the checkout - before you are required to give any personal details.
After providing your delivery details you will be transferred to the secure server of our trusted payment processor - Protx - to give your card details.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Switch, Maestro, Solo, Visa Delta, Visa Electron, American Express and JCB cards. We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship.
If you prefer not to use credit cards on the internet, we can accept orders by email, post, fax or phone. In this case we require receipt of a cheque (payable to Cult Pens) or credit card details phoned in before we can send out your goods.
We accept orders for invoice with delivery only from government, state education and NHS bodies.
Please note that product images may not always accurately reflect minor changes made by manufacturers to product graphics, colours or detailing. Where any substantial change is made to the appearance of a product we will always do our best to ensure that our images are updated, but this cannot always be achieved immediately.

Returns Policy
You have a 'cooling-off' period of 7 days from receipt of your goods. If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, you can return it to us in its original condition within 7 days and we will refund the purchase price. Return postage costs are at your expense and we advise using a recorded delivery service with adequate insurance. By 'original condition' we mean in as-new condition; with all packaging intact; all leaflets, instructions and brochures as supplied; and in the case of fountain pens or other reservoir pens, in their original unfilled state.
Items returned outside the cooling-off period may be subject to a restocking charge at our discretion. In the case of gifts or genuine problems returning items we'll always exercise maximum flexibility. We want you to be happy with your purchase - please contact us to discuss if you're unsure.
If items purchased from us have been sent in error, or are damaged or defective, you can return them to us for a refund or replacement and reimbursement of the return postage costs. Please contact us FIRST before returning items for whatever reason - we can often save you some effort.
All returns should be properly packaged and sent to our address here: You are responsible for delivery to us - proof of posting is not proof of delivery. In the case of product defects or errors made by us your reasonable postage cost will automatically be refunded.
We are bound by the Distance Selling Regulations - see this government Consumer Direct page for information
If you are ordering from outside the UK, please note that if you wish to return unwanted items we reserve the right to deduct our shipping costs from any refund and that you are responsible for the cost of shipping the items back to us by tracked and insured carrier.
Items that we have ordered in specially at your request may not be returned unless damaged on delivery or faulty.
Promotional items provided free of charge with qualifying purchases should also be returned if returning any items means that the qualification for the promotion is no longer achieved.
