Good Online Stationery Stores?

LFappo on 14/10/2013 - 01:23

Hey all. I've started studying this semester and have developed a slight infatuation with stationery, so I was wondering if anyone had any tips on some decent places to buy stuff online from here in Oz.

So far I've used stationeryart.com — who have great product and shipping prices but are pretty crappy with stock levels — and I just placed an order with jetpens.com, who are a bit expensive (especially with some items (and shipping)) but they have a great range of stock.

If anyone could suggest some other places to check out that'd be awesome.

    Have you tried Officeworks? You may have, but just letting you know that it is also an option available.

    Yeah, thanks, I've tried Officeworks (what Ozbargainer worth their salt doesn't know about the +5% price matching :), but you can get much better stuff at the shops I mentioned — and for cheaper. For convenience Officeworks is okay for some stuff though.

    I've also been looking at pencils.jp — they have a nice range of cool Japanese stuff.

    What is the shipping times from jetpens?

    • Fappo on 14/10/2013 - 18:06

      I only just placed my first order with them on Saturday, so I couldn't tell you yet. They should ship later tonight (Au time) and my guess is that with the cheap shipping option it'll take around two weeks… maybe one week if I'm lucky.

    I occasionally check http://www.notemaker.com.au for special offers and new arrivals. They have moleskine notebooks and lots of nice stuff to drool over.

    Their flat rate shipping is at $6.50 and would sometimes have coupons available to use at checkout.

    I would also have a look at Cotton On's Typo if you're into retro.

    Hope that helped.

      Thanks, birdplane. Some of the pricing at notemaker isn't too bad considering it's an Oz store (I assume).

    If you like quality Japanese/Korean stationary, you could try Morning Glory or similar stores. I know its more of a teen girl type store, but from memory, they do sell 'normal' looking pens.

      I actually had a look there on the weekend — I was looking for a pencil case. They had a couple that were okay, but they were more expensive and didn't seem nearly as good as the Japanese Nomadic pen cases at Jetpens. (I ended up ordering one from there.)

      I didn't really look at their pens/pencils/paper etc. I might pop back and check out their range sometime.

    This is an old post but I was wondering how long was the delivery time for jetpens?

  • Taita on 12/03/2014 - 10:38

    just in case is someone wants to know.
    I ordered via rakuten some pencil cases. The order was directed to nomadic online store. Took a week for them to confirm postage costs. But once costs were confirmed, delivery took 3 days.

    btw, nomadic pencil cases are awesome!
