100% Satisfaction Guaranteed

At Mazurka Pens, we are committed to your total satisfaction. That's why we created the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee; it helps take the stress out of choosing the right handmade pen. Order any handmade pen and if you don't like it, we'll exchange it for another one or refund 100% of the price of the pen. Just return the pen to us - there are no restocking fees. 

At Mazurka Pens we believe in our products.  Each pen is made by hand, and may have minor imperfections, but we stand behind our work and want you to feel comfortable with your purchase.  If you are unsatisfied with one of our handmade pens, contact us and we will find a way to make it right.

Shipping and Handling - United States

Most products ship within 24 hours after placing your order, which typically means your order ships out on the next business day with your selected shipping preference.   We do our own order fulfillment and do our best to ship quickly, but some of us are in school!   Please keep that in mind when ordering.  If we have questions about your order, we will contact you via email, so please make sure to use an email account that you check regularly to prevent shipping delays.  If we have a question, your shipment may be delayed until that question is answered.

When you place an order, you will have one shipping option, USPS (United States Post Office).  Most of our packages are mailed via USPS mail and arrive within 3 - 4 business days.  Packages under $50 typically ship USPS First Class mail.  All pens ship via USPS Priority Mail.  If you need the products quicker, you can contact us about FedEx 2nd Day shipping.   Remember that FedEx does not count Saturday, Sunday or Holidays as shipping days. If you are having a product shipped via FedEx Second Day delivery, please understand that your package may not ship until the next business day and plan accordingly.

We can only control when we put the package in the mail.  We have no control over UPS, USPS or FedEx.  Please keep that in mind when ordering if you have a critical date.

Please note:  We are unable to tell the post office where or how to leave a package at your residence.  We cannot pass on special delivery instructions to the drivers on where to leave packages, so please make sure that you ship to an appropriate, secure mailing address.  

If you need it even quicker, please contact us (prior to ordering) and we will work with you to see if we can arrange expedited shipping.  We charge a small handling fee for each order to cover packaging costs to ensure your pen arrives well protected. 

Small orders, such as ink, converters, nibs, etc. ship via USPS First Class mail.  USPS First Class mail can take a week or more for delivery.  We will have it in the mail quickly, but cannot control the delivery time of the USPS.  Please keep that in mind, as once we have mailed it, we are at the mercy of the USPS.  First class mail allows us to keep shipping costs reasonable.

Items that are eligible for Free Shipping will ship First Class mail only.  If an item that is eligible for Free Shipping is combined with items that are not eligible for free shipping, the order will be charged the shipping cost based upon the weight of the items that are not eligible for Free Shipping.  Free Shipping is only available to destinations in the United States.

Larger orders may ship with signature confirmation when the order exceeds $250.  Orders placed in the Winter months may also ship with signature confirmation to avoid packages being left in freezing temperatures.

All shipping and handling charges are non-refundable. You are responsible for the cost of return postage.

Please note that effective January 22nd, 2017 the USPS has raised its postage rates again.  We strive to keep shipping costs as low as possible, but we have had to make adjustments to shipping costs to accommodate carrier increases.  These increases have been continuing to increase each of the last 3 years.

We do our part to help keep waste to a minimum.  We use products that have recycled materials for shipping and work hard to re-use packing material to keep landfill waste to a minimum.

FedEx: Please note that FedEx does not consider Saturday or Sunday as shipping days in their 2 Day shipping calculations.

Shipping and Handling - International

Due to a number of factors beyond our control, we are no longer offering shipping internationally.  The cost of shipping has increased substantially making many purchases cost prohibitive.  Cost of package insurance and tracking numbers cost options have increased and we only ship packages with tracking numbers.  Additional import and export customs paperwork and country restrictions have made shipping outside the US too costly.

Should we find a better option in the future, we hope to be able to return to offering shipping to international customers.
