The perils of dropshipping ceramic mugs
Some items are pitfalls you can avoid for a better swag experience.
Accidents happen and things break, especially when you are drop shipping fragile items and unfortunately, ceramic mugs are one of them. We all love sending a fun branded coffee mug, but no one likes to get that call that they loved their swag but their mug is broken. 😱
This is probably one of the ugly truths as swag that a lot of vendors don’t talk about. We can pretty much vouch for that even with additional packaging, padding, better boxes, you name it – at least one or two will still break. Yes, you could order more mugs, but who wants to run the risk of having one recipient with a bad experience? You’ve already spent time and money on investing in swag, so let’s make it a good one!
Do this instead. Here are some mugs our team highly recommends for dropshipping to ensure you and your recipients have a great experience and have you dodging that awful call that their ceramic mug is broken.

Because who needs water stains on their desks?

If you like your mugs on the bigger side, at 13 oz. the Enamel Cup fits an entire extra oz compared to most other cups. Not to be underestimated when it’s crunch time.
