Very responsive Seller. Deal was very smooth and item arrived in the blink of an eye.😀

“Extraordinary commitment to customers”

Extraordinary commitment to customers.

“Extensive info about the pens”

Super quick and easy transactions. The info about the pens they sell are extensive - which enriches our knowledge about the background and details of the fountain pens and the brands. I always look forward to their posts!

“Speaking to a friend”

They have really really nice pens. And the owner is accommodating (and mukhang night owl din sya - we were discussing around 1AM... So guys, wag mahiya mag message sa page nila if you have questions 🤣) Think of it as if you’re speaking to a friend. Yesterday was my first transaction with them and it was so hassle free. Items are worth the money! You really get what you pay for. They serve satisfaction through your self gratification!🌟

“Very easy to talk to”

Thank you Manila Penography for the best budols 😊 Very easy to talk to and super trustworthy! Til the next one!

“Great service and penabling skills”

A successful budol 😅 Great service and penabling skills especially since they’re willing to meet up so you can try some of the pens before choosing and purchasing ✨💯

“Knowledgeable, respectful, transparent”

The people behind The Manila Penography are not just purveyors. They too love the products they source and sell on. They assist the grail hunters in their quests. They are knowledgeable, respectful, straightforward, and transparent.

“Top notch service”

The Manila Penography definitely provides a top notch pen procurement service! I bought my second set of pens from today and they provided me with proper attention to my needs as a neophyte collector, showcasing their enthusiastic commitment to their clients. They also gave me a wide range of options tailor-made to my writing needs. I would definitely purchase from them again and recommend their service!

“Friendly, helpful, professional”

I purchased two pens from this shop, and I’m incredibly impressed with the quality. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process. What truly sets this shop apart is their commitment to quality control. Both pens underwent thorough inspection and maintenance before being sold, ensuring they write perfectly right out of the box. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable and high-performing pens!

“Beautiful pictures and thoughtful write-ups”

Beautiful pictures of pens are accompanied by well thought of write-ups that provide background on pens on offer.

“They know their stuff”

They know their stuff and will even volunteer information about the pen to make sure it matches your needs--especially helpful if you’re new to the hobby and nervous about getting your grail pen. Replies quickly and ships with care. 🥰

“Seamless and truly cared for”

The Manila Penography let me complete my rotation. I’m not really a collector, but rather a discerning user. What I was missing was a proper pen for the Boardroom to sign things with. TMP walked me through some options which led me to my Pilot Custom Urushi Vermillion with a Broad nib too, a big pen for my big ambitions. The experience was seamless and I felt truly cared for. May you find your grail pens here.

“Fast and easy transactions”

Transactions are fast and easy! Very accommodating! Will definitely message them on my next pen if ever. 🫶

“Excellent and memorable”

My experience with The Manila Penography is truly memorable especially since I decided to invest in a quite luxurious fountain pen for my meditative writing hobby. I want to make sure that my investment is worth it. I was amazed at how meticulously they know the details of their products, their history, and evolution, especially for the Montblanc 146 Le Grand I purchased just last September 4, 2024. The best part of my experience is that they are very much willing to share their knowledge with their clients so the product can be more appreciated. Likewise, my expectations of the conditions of the product are exactly how honestly they described it. It even exceeded my expectations because my experience with online sales is not always that good but in the case with Manila Penography. It was excellent! Until my next purchase, kudos to The Manila Penography‼️✍🏼👌

“Beyond transactional”

Been wanting to put a project pen together, in tribute to my late father and grandfather. Thanks to The Manila Penography, I now have the perfect platform to get that started. I also appreciated how our exchange paused and resumed as our daily responsibilities allowed us, giving the deal a feeling of shared investment that went past the transactional or compulsive.

“I trust them with my collection”

Quality service from the team once again! Reason why I trust them with building my collection! Off to the next piece!

“Quick, responsive, hassle-free”

The Manila Penography was quick, responsive, and delivered my pen smoothly. The entire process was hassle-free, and I’m really happy with the product!

“Very easy to transact with”

Got my first Platinum 3776 from The Manila Penography. Very easy to transact with. The pen was in great condition and was packed nicely and secure!

“Warm welcome and expertise”

It was supposed to be a simple get in, buy the 146 and get out scenario...but NO! Mr. Calvin Almazan, the man behind The Manila Penography will give you a warm welcome at a meet up and share information on his offerings. You can immediately tell he knows what he’s talking about and, at the least, he will give you his undivided attention. Alas, the 146 was no more...from my sight as, just beside it was the Montblanc Edgar Allan Poe 1998 Writers Edition fountain pen. As a sucker for blue casings and trim ring accents, I just went for it. For a used pen, this unanticipated find, in my eyes, is pristine and writes as expected of a Montblanc. With much appreciation, many thanks again, Calvin.

“Hassle-free transaction”

Got my first-ever Montblanc from this shop. The pen is elegant, smooth, and a joy to write with. Sir Calvin offered a fast, hassle-free transaction and care tips.

“Quality pens and attentive people”

Highly recommending them based on the quality of the pens and the attentiveness of the people behind Manila Penography. They are quick to respond to queries, very patient as to go out of their way to explain the details and nuances of the pens.
