My order arrived but it contained the wrong items! What should I do?
We often use manufacturer pen boxes as an eco-friendly way to protect items during shipping. If the item(s) you receive appears to be a box of pens or ink refills unrelated to what you purchased, please open the box. It is very likely your purchases will be tucked safely inside. If not, please let us know!

I am Canadian, and UPS says I owe additional fees on my package. Why?
UPS charges several fees in addition to collecting duties, including a Brokerage Fee to move your package through customs. Many of these fees can be avoided with some additional work on your part. A web search of “UPS Canada brokerage fees” should provide instructions on how to self-clear your package and avoid some of the additional UPS charges. Many of our Canadian customers prefer to have their packages delivered via USPS unless they have a good reason to use UPS.

I have a very special pen that has run out of ink, will one of your refills fit?
Unfortunately it is very difficult to determine if a refill will work in a particular pen just based on measurements. For example, some refills have subtle nodes on them or other features that enable them to pair precisely with a pen. As a result, we are unable to pair up refills at a distance. Your best bet is to try refills in person. We wish you the best of luck in finding a good match for your pen.

I live in Germany, but my package wasn't delivered
The package will not be delivered to the addressee if the contents are above a certain value.
The addressee will receive a note from the Postal Service on how and where he can pick up the package. When he collects the package, the addressee must pay the customs duties (ad valorem - amount depends on the items) plus an Import Turnover Tax (19% of the value of the items) and, for some goods, certain excise duties. Tokyo Pen Shop cannot be responsible for packages not collected from customs.

Can I put refills from one custom multi system into the barrel from another custom multi system?
Officially the answer is "no." The cutsom multi systems are designed to be compatible within their system, not amongst each other.
If you choose to experiment on your own with swapping between custom multi systems, you may find our custom multi matrix useful:
