Return Policy

You may submit a return or exchange request up to 45 days from the date of delivery, please contact us at support@penboutique.com to start your return and or exchange. When returning an item, please enclose a copy of your invoice, the RMA# provided after contacting customer service, and include all original packaging and literature.

Once we receive your return, our turnaround time is normally within 5-7 business days for refunds and or exchanges. For items that are damaged or defective, this process could take longer depending on what the issue may be, but we will keep you updated throughout the process.

If you receive a defective or damaged item, please contact us and we’ll provide you with a return label.

Items being returned due to a preference are not eligible for a return shipping label, or a refund for the cost of shipping on the shipment to you or returned back to us. Preference based returns mean you are returning an item because you do not like something about it due to a personal preference, and the item is not actually damaged or defective. Examples of a preference based return may include, but are not limited to: disliking the nib size, disliking the pattern and or color, disliking the weight or shape of the pen, etc.

An item being returned due to ordering the incorrect item, unless it's a result from an error on being given the wrong information from a sales associate or our website, are also not eligible for a return label or a refund for the shipping cost on the shipment to you or for the return. 

Please note: We can only issue refunds in USD, and can not adjust the value of a return based on changes in exchange rates. 

Fountain Pen Return Policy

When purchasing a fountain pen, please keep in mind our policies for them if you would like to return your purchase. We ask that before filling up your fountain pen, to dip your nib in ink first to test it. Once the pen has been filled with ink, and or the cartridges it may come with have been used, we do charge a 20% restocking fee. In cases of damage or defects, unless caused by the costumer, we do not charge the restocking fee. 

Please note: Limited Edition fountain pens are considered inked if they’ve been dipped; and the eligibility of these pens for returns and or exchanges, as well as the restocking fee, will depend on the pen. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Return Exclusions:

We do not accept returns of:

• Special Orders

How To Prepare A Return:
To return an item purchased from Pen Boutique, please follow these guidelines:
