Great experience with Steve
I contacted Steve about a pen I wanted to sell. He replied within couple of hours and after receiving my pictures he made me an offer. The overall transaction was completed by 1 pm on Tuesday and the whole experience has been totally stress free and super efficient.
I am looking forward to dealing with Steve again !!
Thank you so much, you are a star ⭐!

Superb experience
Superb experience. Using WhatsApp, I was able to upload photos of pens to sell and receive a very quick and professional response from Steve, resulting in a competitive offer which I accepted. I received payment very promptly (within minutes of delivery reaching its destination). I will certainly use Dylanstephenpens again.
Second time of selling pens
Second time of selling pens. First rate experience, money sent on receipt of my pens. Have nothing but good things to say.
Smooth transaction
Steven and I agreed a deal for my two pens. The transaction was smooth and I received the money directly into my bank account within hours of the package being delivered to Steven. Highly recommended.
A most trustworthy business …
I contacted Dylan Stephen via WhatsApp about selling three fountain pens. I received an almost immediate response and then a buy in price after sending some pictures. The buy in price was very reasonable. Within an hour of the pens arriving at the business I received confirmation that payment had been made. Steve was a pleasure to deal with throughout.
This was my first experience of Dylan Stephen and on this basis I will highly recommend them.
Great service and prompt payment
I reached out last Sunday regarding to sale of two pens. I received a reply straight away and was made a fair offer, which I accepted. I posted the pens yesterday, they were received today and the payment was in my account a few hours later. All in all a very swift and easy transaction.
Excellent
Excellent, professional experience.
I sent details of a pen to Steve yesterday, received an instant reply and price. I posted the pen straightaway, and the money was in my account today. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Excellent customer experience

Absolutely brilliant service
Absolutely brilliant service from Steve, and so very quick. From initial WhatsApp chat on Thursday lunchtime, through agreeing great deal later that day, I posted the pens on Friday. The money appeared in my bank account on Saturday morning as he was typing to say all good. I could not recommend him enough.

A great experience selling a few pens
A great experience selling a few pens. Emailed in to get a price, agreed a fair and reasonable amount. Posted, received next day and monies in my account within half a day. Correspondence was handled in a professional and friendly manner. I have no hesitation recommending for the future.
Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service
I ordered a 1990s Montblanc 149 from Dylan Stephens Pens. It was posted promptly and arrived the next working day.
I had been a little unsure before hand because the pictures on the website looked like the gold plating on the clip and band might be slightly chipped but Steve assured me via WhatsApp that wasn't the case and indeed when the pen arrived it was utterly pristine save for some dried ink in the pen that needed to be cleaned.
Unfortunately after cleaning and filling the pen I discovered that there was a small amount of ink seeping through a seem in the grip. A look online shows this isn't entirely uncommon on older model 149s but I messaged Steve with a video showing the issue and he instantly agreed to my choice of replacement or exchange (exchange being subject to availability of similar items).
I can't fault Steve for the issue with the pen, these things happen especially when purchasing used items. What stands out is how quickly and professionally he sought to resolve the issue. If only everyone offered this level of customer service.
--- UPDATE: Possibly reselling pens known to be faulty
While my experience with Dylan Stephens was excellent, I was concerned to discover that after returning the leaky pen it was immediately relisted and resold. I found out when I spotted someone celebrating their New Pen Day on r/fountainpens and recognised the description and box. After talking with the Reddit poster we were able to confirm it was the same pen.
I want to give Dylan Stephens the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was a common issue that they have the knowledge and experience to resolve quickly (the Reddit poster never confirmed with me whether he was able to replicate the issue I had), though I would then ask why they didn't suggest that they might be able to fix the pen when I first raised the issue with them.
