Xpres Mug Price Increase

[UK Printed Mugs]

Is it just me or has the price of the Xpres 10oz 5013 mugs gone up recently?

Very likely. I recently spoke to them and they said they were due a price hike although not the eye watering 20% that some companies have stuck on with Brexit as the excuse (including on items that I know they had on order before the referendum, as I was awaiting the stock coming in). There's enough suppliers around to pick and choose though and it will be interesting to see wether they reduce their prices as the pound recovers, as quickly as they put them up. :rolleyes:

I was using BMS RN coated European mugs but due to some serious shape, height and overall quality discrepencies throughout my last two orders I'm looking for a new supply. Subli's Orca coated Durhams are spot on but pricey compared to the Xpress mugs which include free postage but they were out of stock last time I ordered so I've not tried them yet.

I noticed Costa Coffee have upped their prices today as well which is no doubt to do with Bexit

BMS RN were our mug of choice but we couldn't justify the cost after months of using them as we supply mainly to retailers and they haggle the price down. Xpres 5013 (thanks to Justin) is usually what we use now (AND they are back in stock as we had delivery today!) but also highly recommend Listawood Duraglaze. Went through a couple of hundred of these and all perfect. We mainly do full colour solid designs so the coating is very important but if we were doing smaller graphics (like logos) we opt for cheaper mugs.

I have had great success with Xpres mugs so far however just opened a box to find 6 handles off the mug completely, hopefully this is just a one off.

That is unusual - said in a Tom Jones voice. Due to heavy handed courier or bad packing? Haven't opened our boxes today yet so will check tomorrow first thing.

I have a spare box of 10 oz Subli Orcas minus three mugs if you would like a box cheap?

Looking at the Xpres prices, the quantity discounts have gone. It was only a couple of pence per mug.

Cheers GG. I've sent you a pm.
