Shipping is all over the place anymore. Sounds like this isn’t such a good deal when international shipping is factored in.

This is why I have a mail box in the border town of Blaine WA. It is so much easier and cheaper to have things shipped there. I block ship things and go down once per month to check on my motorhome. But in this current situation I am loathe to ship there in case they close the damn border.

I just received the two that I ordered this afternoon. Nice heavy mugs!

KissMyMuscle · Mar 20, 2020

I need one !

RILO · Mar 20, 2020

Just got mine too, love them!!

Mine came yesterday PM. Fast shipping. A good heavy duty mug. Looks better in person than it does in the picture, and it looks good there.

Got mine yesterday (Thursday) as well. It is a very nice and heavy cup. Wished the finger hole was a bit bigger, but still a thick cup and I think will keep coffee warm longer.

My first thought was the opposite as yours, i thought that since the cup was a larger heat sink it would release heat faster, but actually higher thermal mass means it also releases it slower and you are indeed correct.
Basically it's the same logic as cast iron vs steel radiators.
Interesting...

I love living in the USA LOL! Got my cup Friday.,.LOVE IT!

I have found shipping from the US is much, much higher than from the UK, France, and Italy.

Shameless plug: I use myus.com to set up a US address to receive my packages. They repack them and send them Fedex or DHL at a reduced rate, usually at least 50% better - less than $25 rather than $40-80.

I don’t know the UK rates, but from my positive experience I recommend them.

Thank you, i know how the post office and customs work, i was just wondering if $37.50 shipping for a $10 mug was normal? It seems excessive...

It should only be $7.85 shipping to Blaine, WA. I just bought one and the shipping to Stinkville, Oregon was $7.85...

I'm sure if you explain this as "essential services" there will be no problem.....

I had thought of that but then the rules are that if I was allowed entry I would have to self quarantine for 14 days on return to Canada under penalty of law. Nice mug....just not worth that!

My cup came this afternoon. Heavy, well made cup. Looks great, too!

I already had my first cup of herbal tea in it! NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

Zombie_61 · Mar 26, 2020

I just ordered mine and, yep, shipping within the U.S. was $7.85. It seems odd that this website would be selling Fedora Lounge mugs, but I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth.

Mine arrived yesterday. 12 oz/355 ml soft drink can included in the photo to give a sense of scale. Larger than I expected, M Ware/Marck & Associates replicated the shape of a typical 1940s diner coffee mug pretty well, and the Fedora Lounge logo is cleanly reproduced on both sides. The down side is the ceramic they used--it doesn't keep coffee hot very long. If you like to slam your coffee down almost as soon as it hits the cup you should be fine, but if you like to "nurse" your coffee like me and it takes a while to get a cup down you might have to reheat it in a microwave once or twice.

Came yesterday, sitting with one of my faves Art Fawcett Midnight Seahawk

Down side Keurig is set for 10oz brews it full, might be designated for my Amaretto or Scotch rocks.
