I was sent a box of pens that I did not order. They emailed my wife wanting payment for invoice 112670530. They ignored our response that we did not order and continued billing us. To help avoid getting a ding on our nearly perfect credit score I paid the invoice. For the added set up fee and outrageous shipping fee nearly doubled the cost. personally I would suggest people avoid this company. Substandard business practices to say the least.

If possible, I'd give this company zero stars. Without complicating the story, a check was sent and not cashed until a month later, which earned us a $25 late fee. Not only that, but they also changed the price on the order from what was expected after the check was sent. They did not reach out to us and instead just sent us a late fee notice. We have had a few encounters similar to this in the past with other companies and we did not expect it from this. In the past we have used them with small issues, but never this outrageous. They have previously been our suppliers for our church and fundraisers, but we will not be using them again. If you are reading this and are still thinking about using them, I would advise against it. It's not worth your time and your frustration. They are frauds.

Terrible customer service, weeks at a time going by without a proof and when they actually came it continued to be the wrong design.

Terrible service. I ordered these pens well over a month ago free upcoming trade show. Depends did not arrive on time. The pens have not arrived and I have no way of reviewing the actual pen. I can just tell you that you will be better served by using a different distributor.

I wish I had seen this site before I ordered. The customer service is horrible. I ordered 150 pens for gifts at a US Embassy overseas. I received 5 pens that were for a construction company in New York, a blank one and one that didn't work. I also ordered gift boxes for them. They sent the wrong boxes. I had to pay for new boxes. The customer service rep (that is an oxymoron) told me that they fulfilled the order the way it was given to them on the website. That is 100 not true because I can not use the black boxes they sent. I asked her to show me on the website where they had those black boxes and she couldn't because the option wasn't there. So, somehow I made a selection that didn't exist which I wouldn't have made anyway. To top it off, I had to pay for the order in advance with my credit card, which is fine, but they sent me an invoice for one penny and an envelope to mail my check. If it didn't cost 58 cents I was just mad enough to write a check for one cent.

After speaking with rep and confirming delivery within 14 days, i followed up on day 13. I received the following reply: “ I checked with my production team who advised that the Black Barrel, Black Ink Pens are Out of Stock. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Alternatives were considered; however, the delivery date would still not be met. I hope you are able to get it done locally.”

National Pen Company is not only a rip off, but also has terrible customer service and will not work with customers. They screwed up my order and refused to correct it. I called for a week talking to different people. They only offered to "let" me reorder. I found another supplier for the same product at 1/3 the price. Just don't buy from them. Save yourself a huge headache!

Something has changed in the last year with their company. First time we used them we received a great product and good customer service. Now...terrible customer service. We were called liars twice but then sent them the invoice we had to show them we were correct. Then, after telling them we were canceling our order they offered to change the invoice by the .03 cents per pen dispute. We told them, no thank you. Then they said the order was shipped and we would receive it tomorrow. We asked for the tracking code...that was a lie as well when we tried to verify it. POOR, POOR, POOR customer service. FYI, when we ordered the pens, it was weeks without hearing from them. Then, we contacted them and they told us they were backordered. Again, didn't hear anything from them so we contacted them to give them our updated information...Avoid them

This company does not care about its customers. In fact, they will call you a liar! I ordered pens from these jokers and they came totally wrong. Their customer support said I approved the logo when I did not. I asked them to show me the email where I approved. I have since been GHOSTED even after repeated attempts with reaching out to their customer support managers and C-Level supervisors. NOTHING! AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! Go to 4Imprint or discountmugs.com--they will treat you MUCH better!

We ordered 500 pens and none of them work. It's been over 1 year, but still. We have been giving them out (still have about 350) come to find out they don't work. This is NOT what we expected and now our clients get non working pens and that's a reflection on my company. I've been trying to work with National Pens to make this right and they will not refund or take back the non working pens. It's a joke working with their customer service. It's a HUGE call center and no one cares. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. Several other companies that have working products that last long.

I ordered pens to later find out that they are out of stock and will be for the next 4 months if not longer. After waiting 3 weeks for my order I contacted them. Phone rings for long periods of time, greater than 30 minutes only to speak with people who are difficult to understand. Offered me a 20% discount of future orders. Terrible service.....

Some of the worst customer service. Reordered Pens with the same logo because they charge more if you change it. Got my order and THEY changed the logo leaving off important info. Called to get it fixed. After 40 minutes on the phone they offered to give me 10% off the bad order and 10% off the correct order. So your solution to changing my logo is to increase your sales? I will not be using this company again

If a 0 star was possible that is what I would give. I purchased over a month ago and received an email that if I did not respond to my order it would be assumed the artwork was approved. I did not respond because I approved the order. After 12 business days and a half I called because I still had not received a shipping confirmation and they stated that my order was in hold because I had not approved my artwork. The customer service rep was not helpful and unable to provide ANY assistance so that I could receive my order in time. I ended up cancelling my order and am now going to have to pay double to receive my order in time thanks to National Pens.

Such a confusing way to order and pay (they ship your order first) that I still think it could be a scam. I already paid and pray that my credit card does not get abused. I do like the pens though and they came within a couple of weeks, maybe sooner.

we have purchased here for 3 years, this time has been a nightmare! this was a large order, they sent approval for the same pens as last time completely wrong, i sent them the correction, no reply for over a week then asked for the order number that was in the email subject, so i asked for a refund finally, no response, there is never a response or communication, its over 2 weeks with nothing more, i am going to file a complaint i guess.

i order Pens in November for my staff and they never were delivered until Jan. one of the pens was wrong and they will not replace it. Avoid using this company, they would not redo the order or give me a credit. i was a long term customer, not any more, they just don't care.

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!
