Uhh first thing, I don't know where this goes, so if the thread needs to be moved then do it.
Alright, so, this is my 2nd time ordering online, (first was JetPens) and this time around went very smoothly as well.
PenWish has some great penspinning products and several options for payment. The owner of the corporation was very courteous and to be able to keep in touch with him was a very nice. He was tolerant of my impatience and kept me up with my order.
I sent a money order by envelope and once recieved, it took about 5 days to recieve my order, I was reluctant at first that my 31$ wouldn't make it (bad experiences with PDS and Mr. LSC, lost about 100 bucks over 2 years trying to order with them) but a plain brown box appeared in the mailbox. I would have liked it more if there was bubble wrap inside to protect the pens, but what are you gonna do?
I ordered a pack of 12 Monami 153 Black and only recieved 11 Black, probably a miscount. I didn't call him out on it because on the other hand I ordered 5 bags of random pens and recieved many more to make up for it. I had been looking for a good review on the bag of pens, but decided to take it into my own hands. Most of it is true. I recieved Sailor Gels, Color Twins, Cartoon Comssas, regular Comssas, Monami 153's, HGG (without tip), G2 and many more random pens.
Overall, I got what I needed. I wouldn't buy any PDS products, (much too overpriced, trading will others would be suitable) and many other products are much too overpriced. I enjoyed the mail order system for those without credit cards/paypal and decent shipping time. Pens were in good condition.
4.5/5 Stars, maybe will order again! =]
Hope you liked the review, especially for those who aren't sure if they want to order from PenWish or just wondering about random bag of pens! -

this is better in the trading section because you're reviewing penwish, not the pens themselves.

Alright, thanks. The forum/subforum details are kind of confusing to figure out.

Mr. LSC is known to be cheap. I've heard that he sometimes does not send the extra parts listed in the pictures.
Also, he can barely speak English. -

so even if penwish is more expensive its a better price to pay?

Even with the cheaper prices I bet shipping is massive. Penwish has higher prices but higher reliability so it's probably the better choice.

Oh god the irony.
Anyway, as for pds, its cheap because they are overseas. Shipping is where alot of the cost comes from. Aren't you glad i ordered from penwish now aries?

Are the random bag of pens still available? Or did he remove it from the site?

he removed them cause he found out it wasnt worth it to lose all those pens for 5 dollars

Just got my penwish order. Took about 4days which is good. The envelope had a little hole in it but only the yellow outer part was ripped, so nothing fell out. All of the pens where in god condition but my sunburst's design had some little cuts on it, i dont mond that much though. I give it a 5/5.

I've never had a PW order that was short on pens that I ordered. I guess thats why he threw in the extra pens.

All my PenWish orders run smoothly too. Except once there was a misunderstanding but everything was resolved in the end.
also, the only thing I would like PW to do is putting the small parts (e.g. hgg tip & grip, sailor grips, comssa caps, etc) inside a small baggie or something except just tossing it in the bag...
or maybe I'm too picky..? -

I order whenever I need mod parts or want to experience the feeling of anticipating something in the mail.
