Somehow the mug shaped like Paul McGee's head has mysteriously become "Barnacle Bill..." ...hmmmm... Fishy! --Pete |

up and running indeed! Two mugs ordered. And although the shipping is a little steep, it looks like two day UPS. Tracking number provided within minutes of ordering. That's going to take the wind out of a few ebay "sales" |

We thought the same thing. Seems a bit childish. If they want to sever ties with Paul just sell out the mug and let it go. |

I can definitely confirm it is up and running now. My mug has already arrived. I had to buy one even though I live in Chicago, because every time I go, they seemed to be out of the urchin mug. |

That Sea Horse Tiki – Limited Edition is one of the coolest mugs out in a long time. |

Though, it's basically 3 dots' logo'ed sea horse bowl, which can be gotten for $60 cheaper without the bar name on it. http://www.tikifarm.com/seahorse-bowl-pink eh, I'm down for some of the others, but that big price jump just gets me on that one. |

It's quite a price jump. I bought one a year or so back while at Three Dots and it wasn't nearly that expensive. |

I assumed those prices included shipping... if not, those are crazy high (especially for the cheap-y Dynasty mugs...) Any 3 Dots exclusive mug can be had for $20 in the bar... I think the seahorse bowl was $50? We even bought the big ol' Tiki Farm sunken ship bowl from them for $50, I believe, though that was a year or so ago. Of course, $28 + shipping for the exclusive mugs is still a helluva lot cheaper than the stuff is going for on eBay... woof... --Pete |

Yeah, they're asking $100 for the seahorse bowl in the bar now. The bartender said they just raised from $40. Wow. |

Apparently they're planning on adding swizzles and coasters to the online store too. |

Just received my mugs and they were packaged pretty poorly. The Fijian Mermaid did not make it. You would think with the excessive shipping charge they tack on that the parcel would be better prepped. Reaching out to them now to resolve this issue.

Got mine today and this is exactly what it looked like when I opened package, no bubble-wrap or anything. The mug was outside of the box. Lucky me, I can't believe the mug was in perfect condition. |

I sent a message to them through Paypal regarding my damaged mug and received a response within a few hours. They will be replacing my mermaid mug at no charge :) |

That sucks. To be honest their online store is disappointing. They have raised most of the mug prices (even in the bar) since the store went live. The $100 price tag on the seahorse bowl is outrageous as it was originally $40. Plus $12 for 5 swizzles is ridiculous. It all seems like a greedy money grab.
Was that it? No packing or anything? I'm actually shocked. I can't believe they're that lazy/cheap. [ Edited by: TheDrunkenTiki 2015-09-14 21:55 ] |

Yes, my mug came in with no wrapping, no bubble-wrap and nothing else just a loose box with the top open in this huge box. That's why I was surprised mug was not broken. |

This is completely unacceptable & unprofessional I wanted to order a mug from them but the high shipping cost added to the overall cost of the mug was so much higher [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2015-09-15 00:58 ] |

Received my box from the order and yeeeeah... shipping was total shit. My box was pretty smooshed down, as if someone sat on it. They clearly have a lot of growing pains in the field of packing. The quick check I did didn't seem like any were broken, but I'll double check since yeah, that packaging was the absolute worst I have ever seen. |

Paul McGee's current bar, Lost Lake, recently opened their online store and I've received an order of glassware and swizzles with no issue. Maybe give them your money instead? |

Wonder what they pay wholesale for the mugs? Maybe they're trying to maximize their profit margin by skimping on the packing material and figure that if most of the mugs make it intact, and they just have to replace an occasional damaged mug....hoping the cost of the replacement mugs don't outweigh the savings from poor packing? howlinowl |

Well - you don't have to worry about it anymore. Their online shop has been closed and will not be opening again - it became too |

Yeah, but twenty bucks for a parrot mug? I mean, they're like seven bucks at Retro Planet. howlinowl |

Yeah, Lost Lake is a much smaller bar financially. The have their own glassware, but they've only had two very limited custom mugs by a Chicago artist. Three Dots has a huge company behind them so I'm less forgiving towards their price hikes. On another note, I'm told the Three Dots Sea Urchin and Fiji Mermaid mugs have been discontinued so hang on to them if you've got them! |
