Nostalgia
What made this shopping experience great was being able to replicate my childhood with a cool pencil with my name on it for my students. What a fantastic tradition! The nostalgia!! I was also able reach customer service in a timely fashion. They were incredibly helpful in navigating the ordering process. My only want from the company is to send a shipping update, possibly once processed and once shipped.

🥹 Aww this makes us feel all the feels. Thank you SO much for sharing your experience and full-circle moment with our beloved Personalized Pencil Packs.
We're also thrilled to hear that our customer service team was able to help you out with your order in a timely manner.
We do send two separate confirmation emails - the first when the order is placed, and the second when the order ships. Sometimes these messages can go to spam so it's always best to double check if you haven't seen any updates come through.
Thanks again, we appreciate you! 🫶
Super good pricing and service!

Easy ordering of personalized pencils for my students as a holiday gift. I have 83 4th graders. Upon getting ready to put them on student's desks before the Christmas break, we realized that we were missing ONE of the students pencils. Looking back at the order, her name was definitely there. I emailed customer service. Received a very prompt response with a solution to fix the problem and get the missing pencils personalized and shipped to me as soon as possible. Very impressed with the customer service response and quick solution.

Horrible Service
I ordered materials in the middle of November, well before the deadline for holiday shipping that were guaranteed to arrive before December 19, 2025. I had to call 3 times because my items were not shipped. Customer service guaranteed they would overnight them so I would have them in time...they were gifts for my students for Christmas. I did not receive the missing items until January 9th.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are so sorry to hear about your experience with missing items during the holiday season. This is not the level of service we aim to provide and for that, we sincerely apologize.
We will be in touch with you via email in an effort to make this right. Thank you again for the feedback. Please note that we take all reviews seriously and escalate as needed to improve our processes going forward.

Fantastic pencils
The students (and teachers) love the pencils with their names on them. Every year they look forward to getting them for Christmas.
Great customer service. I made a mistake and they helped me resolve it quickly.
Fair prices.
Good quality. The printing quality had started to decline the last couple of years but this year it seemed to return to the original high level. They write really nicely.

Disappointed in Order
I’ve been ordering personalized pens for 19 years from this company. I’ve never had an issue. This year I ordered the weekend after Thanksgiving, like I’ve always done is the past. It took three weeks for the pens to arrive, which was too late for a class Christmas gift. When I finally received them and passed them out after Christmas break, a few students’ green pens won’t click open. I tried to take them apart and fix them, but they are stuck. I’m very frustrated with the shipping and products this year. Even when emailing and asking for my package the customer service was null and void. Very disappointed!

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us—and for being such a loyal customer for 19 years. We’re truly sorry that this year’s experience fell so far short of what you’ve come to expect from us.
We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait longer than usual for your order, miss the opportunity to gift your students before break, and then discover issues with some of the pens themselves. On top of that, not receiving timely support when you reached out is not the experience we ever want to provide.
Please know we take full responsibility for this, and we would really appreciate the chance to make it right. Our team would like to look into both the shipping delay and the product issue and discuss next steps with you directly. If you’re willing, please contact us at ftoservice@atlaspen.com
or call (800) 642-8885, and we’ll be happy to help.
Thank you again for your many years of support—and for your honest feedback. It truly helps us improve.
