GBTrying to contact AT Cross is a nightmare Trying to contact AT Cross is a nightmare! I eventually tracked them down via a phone call. You need to make sure you call during USA office hours, not UK office hours. Not sure how we are supposed to know this. A customer support lady gave me an e mail address to send my complaint to and said she would reply. No reply yet received. Called the number again today and eventually the answering service told me I could not be connected. I give up. I have several AT Cross pens and pencils. They used to be a good UK company. Now they are en extremely bad American company who dont care a jot abouttheir UK customers.

GBTerrible service - usual old excuses Terrible service - ordered a pen and pencil set for my sons graduation. Still hasn't arrived. Emailed, Customer services told me they had delays due to Covid (usual excuse, how come is other companies including those shipping internationally are coping, no issue in taking your order or cash) and some new systems issues. Advised packing slip and dispatch note was now printed and in warehouse - still waiting two weeks later. Pathetic... all in all 6+ weeks to get a pen and pencil set that 'was in stock' Won't be buying from them again. Sad used to be a fantastic company.

GBTerrible Customer Service I ordered an engraved pen 30 days ago and my order status has not changed nor have I been given an update. I understand covid delays but just want an estimate or update at this point and cannot get any kind of response. I have tried calling several times only to wait on hold and be hung up on once a representative finally answers. My email inquires have gone unanswered. I have disputed the charge with my bank and will never order from this company again.

GBHow a once great business has gone to… How a once great business has gone to the dogs. I have a few Cross pens and pencils and particularly love the porous point refill. I have been trying to obtain refills for quite some time but they appear to be out of stock everywhere in the UK. I have emailed several times with no response and the UK telephone number seems unmanned. My research shows that the business was acquired by a "venture capital" group in 2017 and I think that's what led to the demise of the business. Venture capitalists seem interested only in squeezing a business dry before they close it down resulting in delays and poor stocks. I will never buy a Cross pen again until I'm assured that they have a care about customers. I wonder if a "manager" will respond to these observations thus proving me wrong?

GBCan only really echo others' negativity… Can only really echo what others have already said below: the pens themselves (when in stock/arrive etc) are lovely. The customer service is non existent. And to have a website that will take payment but not record or actually follow through with an order is beyond outrageous. Truly, a pathetic experience. Buy from any other retailer.
