The product is excellent. I have given it four stars only because the order arrived partially damaged.
I ordered four mugs. Three will be thank-you gifts for my three College tutors who helped me gain a qualification (CELTA) in teaching English to adults. The fourth was for my own coffee mug tree.
The mug motif is absolutely appropriate, being both a pun on the police motto one sees on American cop shows (The Grammar Police are here TO SERVE AND CORRECT not TO SERVE AND PROTECT) and ideal as a description of the hard work my teachers had to do to knock me into shape as an English tutor. Five stars for the mug design and the production quality.
The fourth mug, which will have to be my mug now, arrived broken into several pieces (see photo attached).
The four mugs were individually packed in sturdy and close-fitting cardboard boxes. I have had individual mugs delivered similarly from NEWSTHUMP previously and all arrived safely. Three of the mugs were in pristine condition. My heart sank as I opened the package as I could hear the fourth box rattling.
I don’t know what happened to cause the breakage (though personal experience of having worked at Royal Mail reminds me that packages are not always handled with kid gloves). The individual cardboard box the fourth mug arrived in was not punctured or deformed in any way so it’s a mystery.
If I can make a suggestion it would be: pack an order of multiple mugs (in my case, four mugs) by putting the individual cardboard boxes in a larger cardboard box packed with scrunched up (a technical term) brown paper to provide some shock cushioning rather than pack the individual cartons into a large brown paper envelope (allowing too little protection).
