Polymer Mugs

[dj_doubler]

Hi all,

Again on the polymer mugs trail - I got confirmation back today from a contact of mine... the prices are so high for these mugs... I asked for 100 11oz polymer mugs which I can get for 68p but the shipping is wait for it.... £150... what is going on in the world?

shipping is double the cost of the mugs :-0

getting slightly frustrated now

I guess importing is not set-up for small volumes. Air freight is rarely cost effective unless you have a very compact product. With mugs this is not the case. You need to be able to justify atleast 1 pallet to then put it on sea freight which can then come to more of a sensible cost.

Are polymer considered better than ceramic?

[bms]

They are different - plastic v ceramic. The polymer mugs will be very straight, not spray coated as it is the material that is sublimatable rather than the coating. I wouldn't say they were better - they are a different product for a different market. Personally I wouldn't want to drink out of a plastic mug, but there are plenty of places/ opportunities where plastic mugs would be better than ceramic ones.

Our Polymer mugs are arriving into the UK tomorrow so we should have then on sale next week sometime.
