Don't forget you'll need the metal insert ("puck") if you buy these.

Yeah, curious thing that "puck"...

If you buy a sample pack of 6 mugs, then the addition of the puck increases the price by £15 (£18 inc. VAT).
If you buy a box of 48 mugs, then the addition of the puck increases the price by £9.95 (£11.94 inc. VAT).

Is it a different puck for that £5+VAT extra cost?

No, just maybe getting a discount for bulk purchasing of mugs

If so, that seems to be the backwards way of going about it. The starter pack is intended to entice people into buying the product. Making the puck higher-priced before you have the customer seems the bonkers way of doing it.

Well he could always sell the puck for £18.00 with the 48 mugs if he wanted :biggrin: I see it as an incentive to stock up on the mugs
