“Do not order from them. They don't care. It says 4-10 days production then ship but when I tried to track my order 2 weeks later they never even started it and didn't care. One person said I could rush the order after they had it for 13 days and pay more. I said whatever I will. Then they told me I don't know who said that that they will investigate. So needless to say I canceled my order because they ...well they had no excuses. So if you need it don't order from them.”

“I ordered 1200 pens and they were dried up pens. They wouldn't refund, understandably without a sample. It took 6 weeks to get a label to ship them back. They confirmed that the pens were bad and gave a credit back for the invoice and I trashed the dried up pens. Since then, I have continuously received emails and phone calls from collection department wanting payment. I will never use this company again and recommend that you do not! I've spent way to much time on this situation caused by them!”

“Worst experience and still ongoing! Took forever to confirm my order. i have emailed four times with zero response. i have called three times with little to no help. i now finally received an order after 30 days and it was someone else' order? i asked to speak to a supervisor a week and a half ago. was told one could call me back. STILL WAITING! the customer service rep offered me a coupon for money off my next order 🤣🤣🤣 do you really think ill be back. i even started to take their online survey. first quedtion. how likely is it you will be a returning customer? my answer was a ZERO. The survey hung up on me after one question. What a HORRIBLE COMPANY!”

“I ordered a notebook and pen set at the end of October. My plan was to give them out for Christmas gifts to my customers and employees. After placing the order with my sales rep. I waited. By the middle of November I e mailed the rep and asked for an update. I was told the color I ordered was out of stock. So I ordered in a different color. As Christmas approaches I tried to get an update again. No response. Product showed up on January. I reciever an invoice on line. I paid the invoice fast forward to February 2nd and I get a phone call from the collection department saying I owe another 36 dollars. I told her I never recieved an invoice for that. She treated me like a dead beat. I paid the 36.00 then I sent an e mail to my rep explaining my displeasure with the whole order and lack of follow up. Their response..... crickets. Needless to say I am done with this company. No communication, no follow up, and treated like a dead beat over 36. 00 that was never invoiced.”

“Not happy with this company at all. I should have read the reviews before placing my order. I ended up cancelling my order. They said the funds would be refunded shortly and I still yet seen my funds. Do this company is getting rich by keep people's money and not fulfilling orders! Buyer beware”

“Took ages to organize service and delivery. Did not communicate shipping until after product shipped. Poor customer support follow-up to help troubleshoot the problem that was created by waiting until the last minute to process the job and ship. We will not be working with National Pen Company again.”

“Lack of quality across the board. Took 2 weeks for my proofs to get put into production because they hadn't seen my confirmation email and were still "waiting to hear back from me." Payment charges make no sense, with the full amount coming out, then going back in, then portions bein taken out with 0 communication from National Pen, leading to confusion about how much I've actually paid. Shipping comes in batches (understandable) but is communicated that it will be shipped all together. NO status updates on order after you confirm design. At the end of the day I fully understand that custom ordering takes time, as it should to insure the highest quality product, but what national pen has done is make an otherwise exciting process as miserable and regretful as possible. The whole reason you invest in a company like this is to build your own brand, and start marketing yourself or your business. This goes to show that National Pen has 0 interest in keeping up with the times, and are still stuck on the mindset of get rich quick. I have 0 faith that once my order shows up it will be anything like what has been pitched to me. If I could undo and go with a different company I would.”

“I am really not sure what happened here. The order took longer than expected to start with, but given it was the holiday season I can let that slide. But then when the pens arrived all they had was our address. No logo, which I had very carefully uploaded. I logged into their website to attempt to contact them and found my order was still sitting in my cart and correct with logo. Things go wrong I know that, so I was totally willing to work with them on a solution. But once I began my 3 day process of contacting them I determined this is just a very poorly managed company, with absolutely zero customer service. The first time I called the recording said I could enter my number and get a call back, so after 40 minutes on hold, I did that. 5 hours later, no return call. I tried again, this time leaving my number for call back after 10 minutes. Left the office at 5pm and returned at 8 am the next day to find 2 voicemails from them, left at 6am!! I get they open at 7am, but standard rule is to never call before 9am. I called again and stayed on hold until I had to hang up to try and get some work done. In the afternoon, I found an email contact, so I sent an email thinking that may be quicker. I immediately received 2 emails, saying they received my request and would contact me shortly. Never heard from them. Then day 3, still nothing, so I tried several times in the morning with no luck. Finally, this afternoon I somehow got through. The rep did not seem to understand the issue. Then she wanted me to email her all kinds of screen shots of the view of my account on pens.com. So I did. She put me on hold for 20 minutes. When she returned she said this is an issue for a more knowledgable rep and would pass my issue on to her supervisor, who hopefully will resolve the issue today. So, now I wait and see if I hear from them and if they will screw me or fix their mistake. Never again will I order from here. Absolutely ZERO customer service, and that's a pretty big mistake! We are a small startup, so it's not like I can just order from somewhere else, I have to wait for my refund. And if they don't give me one, I will have to give up on it all together!”

“I have had good service for from national pen for years my last few orders were not so well. 1. I ordered light up pens in several colors . Several of the pens don’t even light. They sent all 4 colors of pens in 4 different boxes . Charged $6.99 for 1 $6.99 for box 2 6.99 for box 3 $11.99 for box 4 . I tried to make it all go away . The payment center hung up on me so I couldn’t pay it . Finally a nicer lady took my payment after I called my rep for help. Hate it but I will be using Myron, and Amsterdam from now on . After being lied to and all the problems. This is not how operate a business. Just watch what the offer cheaper you will pay for it somewhere else. Also when they send 4 boxes when all 4 orders will aship in one box you know where they made there money so shipping was over $30 for $100 pens .”

“Ordered Pens guaranteed to be here by Christmas. They never came. Called today, they said they would have them by Feb! Never called or emailed me to tell me they were out. I also ordered calendars. Ask to cancel that order. After 45 minutes of waiting they told me Anita at ext 770931 would call me back. She never did. I guess I am going to dispute the charges thru my Bank. Horrible service. I will report to better business bureau tomorrow. This is a real review people. Dave yourself the headache. You can contact me directly 940 631 4033.”

“This company sucks monkey balls. I ordered yellow pens with black ink and got black pens with purple ink. I tried to contact them and never got through. Then I got a late fee of $25 attached and when they finally did call me back they asked for me to send back some pens as proof so not trusting them I just told them to take the $25 late fee off and they said they would. Well I just paid the bill including the $25 that they never removed. The 100 pens came out to $1.36 each.”

“Their gift boxes are JUNK! Spent $60 extra and couldn’t use a single one of them due to defectiveness. I emailed them to get it resolved, a refund or different boxes sent to me and was told to “count the defective boxes myself, send them back, & they would check for the defects after that.” As if the consumer is responsible for any of that. They know their products are trash, that’s why they refuse to help in any way. All I was given is a 20% off coupon, as if I would EVER shop with them again. I was so disgusted by the quality of products and lack of customer care & service. There are way too many companies out there to deal with this one! Do yourself a favor and use literally ANY other company. If I could rate zero stars, I absolutely would.”

“SERIOUS SCAM COMPANY. They now send out cheap product and refuse to replace non-working parts. Customer service is full of NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING employees in a loud call center somewhere. There is NO MANAGER to speak to. AVOID THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR ADVERTISING NEEDS because you will be sorry you spent ONE PENNY with them. Product is very cheap, if it works at all, and they do not stand by their sales. *******AVOID AVOID AVOID******* emailed AND telephoned, very poor customer service, late shipping, overcharged postage”

“Horrible company to deal with. My pens were sent to some other company in another state and that company then had to forward them to me and I had received their pens and had to forward those. A month later, I received my pens and they were exploded in the bag so they were unusable. I have called multiple times to try to resolve. They won’t send me new pens nor take back the exploded pens. They are threatening to send to me to collections and I still have yet to receive usable pens. I have wasted so much time with them and no usable product!!! Never again!!! Buyer beware!!!!”

“I placed two large orders for the exact same logo design submitted as a png file. One product was received exactly as I ordered it (300 water bottles with logo design on it). The other was for 525 pens with the same design, however when they edited the design for some reason they included my HOME ADDRESS on the pens! I called to complain and spoke with a rep who frequently placed me on hold for well over an hour only to tell me the best that they could do was offer a 10% discount on a new order. I asked to speak to her manager, she placed me on another lengthy hold. Only to then tell me the managers were not available and would call me back. As expected I've heard nothing from them. Will never order from them again.”

“Totally disappointed with national pen. I ordered cups from them 3 years ago gave them all my info and they come out fine little on the cheesy side but ok ! So now they send us a flyer to buy pens and so we did but 2 digits on the area code we’re flipped flopped on our phone number we did not notice it on the flyer they sent. It did have a did anything change form enclosed and there saying we should have put in on there, I agree I should have looked over it a little closer but none of our info had changed so we went with it ! So when we get the pens my wife calls and tells them the problem and they say it’s our fault but they will investigate the problem and call us back so they get off the phone and never asked her for a phone number ! So then they call me and I missed the call and on there voicemail they said they didn’t catch her number when she called so they called me instead and the funny part about that is they called the number that should have been on the pens ! So they can not say they did not have the correct information they had it when they put it on the cups they had it to call and say they weren’t going take care of it but yet it’s all our fault !”
