Of course, you’re going to want a trustworthy seller to get your pencils from. If you purchase one on a sketchy website, you might get fakes or broken ones, and they may not be willing to help you- so I wouldn’t risk getting one from them. Here are some sellers we know and trust:
A small business that sells lots of different pencils. They have good customer service and ship worldwide, with free shipping on 35+ USD orders in the US.
You can find unique and special items on JetPens that you might not see anywhere else.
Just keep in mind that their prices can be a bit higher. For example, a Pentel Sharp Kerry might cost around $12 on Amazon, but it could be closer to $20 on JetPens, and if you're ordering from outside the U.S, or spending less than $35, you'll need to pay for shipping.
Based in San Jose CA.
This site is similar to JetPens, so you can use it as an alternative.
The site has a lot of limited edition mechanical pencils.
They get new items quickly.
Based in Des Moines IA.
They have a lot of exclusive items you cannot get easily.
They sell a TON of Tombow Mono-Graphs, a common pencil.
They may take a long time to ship to the USA due to their location.
Your order is in a very nice box, and they often pack freebies.
There are discounts that you can stack up.
Based in Asia.
Amazon is another good place to check out pencils. They usually have lower prices, and you can return things within 30 days if needed.
The only problem is that Amazon doesn't focus specifically on pencils like the other websites do. So, you might not find as many options, especially when it comes to unique or limited edition pencils.
In short, Jetpens, Tokyo Pen Shop, and Stationary Pal are great for a variety of choices and special finds, but they might be a bit pricier. Each website, though similar to each other, also has a lot of unique differences. Amazon is more budget-friendly, but it has a smaller selection of pencils. Depending on what you're looking for, you might want to explore all four to get the best of all worlds.
