ABOUT US:
Pens Plus of Oxford is an independent pen shop located on Oxford's iconic High Street, opposite Magdalen College and close to the Botanical Gardens. The shop has traded from this site since the late 1960s. My name is Paul Major and I bought the shop, along with my wife Kay in October 2019. Our intention has been to maintain and build upon the range of fine writing instruments and stationery products as well as the various other services offered. We have developed a very customer friendly atmosphere in store along with developing this website to further support our customer's needs.
We offer a personal service with expert knowledge on all our products. Whether you are buying your first ever fountain pen or that special edition that you have always wanted, no question is too stupid; we are here to help, able to educate if so desired, as well as still learning from our customer community

CUSTOMERS:
The single most important thing for our shop; our customers range from school children to University PhD students, academics to tourists; the luxury or limited edition buyer to the Christmas stocking filler present buyer as well as the local business community. We like to think of our offer as a writing instrument fitting service, we will find the right instrument to fit you and your needs.
We stock a wide range of brands and are an authorised dealer for Montblanc with an "in-shop boutique". We also stock a range of high quality writing paper, notebooks, desk accesories, leather journals and luxury gifts.
90% of our customers have bought a pen in their head before they enter the shop or browse our website, they just don't know which one. Our job is to guide them ensuring they leave completely satisfied and with a smile on their face
We have an in-house repair service for all makes and models; modern as well as vintage. We have two fully trained 'Pengineers' operating on site and we complete over 1000 repairs per year (check out our Google reviews). On the rare occasion we are unable to fix your writing instrument in-house we have built up a network of experts for certain brands or issues that we can call upon. We can also manage the repair with the brand manufacturer for you. If you have a pen that has huge meaning for you and it has seen better days, we can resurrect it to its former glory to be enjoyed for generations to come.
