Cumbria Crystal tumbler anyone?

RedDawn289 · February 2016

Who has bought one of the Cumbria Crystal tumblers? If so could I get the thoughts/review on it and maybe some pictures with a nice single malt.

Not really a review, but a strong recommendation for the beauty and workmanship of th product, oh and a pic next to a single malt

I love mine - got it as a birthday pressie before Christmas. I much prefer it to the more usual Darlington type crystal - it just feels more substantial (in weight certainly) and has - in my opinion - a timeless, classic design.

Adds another little something to the pleasure of a single malt in my opinion......

Great picture {[]

There was somebody selling replica Hotel Key Cards and Vesper's business card on eBay in the past. But I haven't seen these offered for a while now.

Nice, snatch them up. I can't afford the shipping cost to Canada! CRAZY!

Westward_Drift · February 2016

Yeah, the shipping is crazy. So much for savings.

DB6 · February 2016

And all gone it seems....

DUBL_OH · February 2016

Still 15 available when I checked. Anyone willing to pick up and ship to the US? £119 sounds a little excessive to send a glass to the US.

Enjoying Death · February 2016

That shipping charge is insane.

If it was more reasonable I would purchase some.

The Domino Effect · February 2016

I'm seeing those sorts of shipping charges more and more frequently, unfortunately. It's absolutely ridiculous. I guarantee that even using bubble-wrap, Styrofoam pellets and a generous box it wouldn't cost more than $40 max.

welshboy78 · February 2016

I emailed them and got a sensible shipping rate

You must live in the UK. Shipping to Canada is £119!

GS · February 2016

you're welcome - shipping is a bit pricey even in the UK -For those looking internationally probably worth contacting them directly as Welshboy suggested. I found their customer service to be excellent.

Using only traditional glassmaking methods, the small team of 22 highly skilled artisans are committed to making traditional & contemporary crystal of the highest quality, using techniques that have hardly changed since the Roman era.

Cumbria Crystal · February 2016

As a company shipping extremely delicate and expensive items worldwide we use the best couriers possible to ensure that the products always arrive intact. I am afraid that we have no control over the cost of international shipping, we do not put any mark-up on the shipping beyond the cost of packaging materials, as we are aware that the costs are not inconsiderable. We are charged by by the box and because we are quite a small company cannot negotiate the more competitive courier rates that we enjoy through the likes of Amazon or eBay.
Because we are charged by the box this means that shipping for one or two glasses is inevitably high, but it is worth noting that it is possible to get a lot of products into one box so it is quite conceivable that we could deliver 20+ items of crystal for the same price!
All crystal products are double boxed, and heavily insulated in protective polystyrene beads to ensure safe delivery.
It is always worth calling the factory to see if a better price can be achieved for P&P than through the website, in some cases and for some destinations this works. We would be delighted to talk to you - the number is +44 (0)1229 584400.

Now THAT is what I call great customer service! {[]

Cumbria Crystal · February 2016

Thank you. As one of the last manufacturers of hand blown and cut crystal surviving we are doing our utmost to engage with new audiences and particularly to develop followers internationally. It is impossible to compete on price against the mass producers, therefore exceptional quality and customer service are all the more important. Each 'Double Old Fashioned' whisky tumbler takes 7-10 days to make from start to finish and is cut by hand, on diamond wheels. The company has two incredibly skilled cutters, but even so each glass takes around 30-40 minutes to cut! Appreciating this I hope readers will understand more fully what it is we you support of you purchase our crystal - quality, craftsmanship, luxury and keeping dying traditions and skills alive in the UK.

Thank you however the Shipping to Canada cost keeps me away from purchasing this product. I can't justify paying more for shipping then the glass itself.

Cumbria Crystal tumbler anyone?
