None taken at all, I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not here to support any supplier, personally I'd sooner I didn't have to use sponsorship/advertising etc. but that's a different story!

The few crap boxes I had weren't the first time this has happened when buying so called cheap mugs. It has happened in the past on a few occasions from the same supplier, previous times there were only 3 or 4 mugs per case that were damaged.

Horses for courses - some people don't mind losing a few mugs per case - I prefer to know that 36 mugs will arrive in one piece, and my customers prefer mugs that they are all the same size too.

i dont realy care who use what John tbh... this was only a little leg pulling. thats all :rolleyes:
everyone should stick to their ways me thinks...

The last couple of boxes I bought came double-packed, so presumably they've learned from past mistakes.

No, mine were double packed too - most were broke or broke on pressing.

We bought a batch of 72 mugs from CG, half of them smashed on delivery

Well done to the people who did receive all 36 mugs intact - seems like a bit of a lottery when buying cheap mugs.

After raising this it appears that I'm not the only one that's had a problem with Coralgraph mugs.

There's really no answer to that then Paul is there. - damn, just answered.

Personally i would suggest that its upto the seller to ensure items reach the customer in show room condition i would certainly expect replacements for any breakages recieved in transit. i have to say though over the years i mustve bought thousands of mugs from bms and have never had a breakage yet

to clarify that a little. I dont have and never had ANY and I repeat ANY PENNY for saying stuff about coralgraph mugs. I only say that as i use them and found service fantastic. Whenever I had anything from BMS and I liked it I also mentioned the quality. is not about who pay to be advertiser on forum. is nothing to do with me and i am not geting paid a penny.
If this is such a problem to recommend stuff (i would not if not try that my self and like it!) then i suppose all links should be removed from forum, suppliers kicked out and any recommendation removed

Personally i would suggest that its upto the seller to ensure items reach the customer in show room condition i would certainly expect replacements for any breakages recieved in transit. i have to say though over the years i mustve bought thousands of mugs from bms and have never had a breakage yet

see... I bought mugs from BMS only a couple of time and last 11oz i had was excellent but had one brocken in the box... and what does it prove then??? no much imo.

all i can say is shit happens.
rant over.

think that ones been discussed to the max on here justin i agree with you but then the forum has to be paid for somehow.
the problem with sponsorship is when the owner or an official of the forum bigs up a service or item form a sponsor then the integartity of their comment is bought into question. its a sad fact but true , im certain your comments and pauls or adams for that matter are genuine but to someone who may not know better it may seem that you are endorsing sponsors over those who dont sponsor. Its difficult to appear impartial when you are the owner or an official of a forum
strictly my opinon which may be right or wrong

Seems like the dummies are all over the floor. :biggrin:

Paul, everyone has there own opinion, but it's not neccessarily right, yours or mine. It seems lately though, if someone has a different point of view, they're shouted down on this forum - check the last few threads today, most are turning into arguments.

I think this might be because we use those people who sponsor forum. And thats why it might look like we favorites them. I am not. you can be sure of that.

ALso worth to mention that BMS is not sponsoring forum but i use their metal. and love the quality.
so in case someone want a profile in future can be ensured every profile is made on BMS quality metal (VERYYYYYY WHITE!!!).
