FAQ / PANIC STATION

Questions people ask before committing to a mug.

Shipping, care, gifts, rude words, emotional support and other important mug-based nonsense.

Are your mugs actually made in Wales?

Yes. Our mugs are designed, printed and packed by us in Cardigan, West Wales. Very glamorous. Very caffeinated.

Are the mugs dishwasher safe?

They are made to be used in real life, but we always recommend hand washing if you want to keep them looking their best for longer. Dishwashers are useful, but also tiny mug saunas of doom.

Can I microwave them?

Yes, the ceramic mugs themselves are microwave safe. Just don’t microwave anything weird in them. We are a mug brand, not emergency services.

How big are the mugs?

Our standard mugs are 11oz ceramic mugs. Big enough for coffee. Not big enough for your entire emotional baggage, sadly.

Do the mugs come boxed?

Yes. Each mug is packed carefully so it arrives looking lovely and not like it has fought a small bear in the post.

Can I send a mug as a gift?

Absolutely. Just use the recipient’s delivery address at checkout. We won’t include a dramatic speech unless you ask us to.

Can I add a gift message?

If gift messages are available at checkout, pop your message in there. Keep it sweet, rude, chaotic or emotionally unstable. We don’t judge.

How long does delivery take?

Most orders are made and posted as quickly as possible. Delivery times depend on the postage option chosen and how dramatic the postal gods are feeling that week.

Do you offer local collection?

Yes, where available. If you’re local to Cardigan, collection may be offered at checkout. Please wait for confirmation before arriving like a mug-hunting missile.

What if my mug arrives broken?

First, we will be personally offended on your behalf. Please contact us with your order number and a photo of the damage, and we’ll help sort it.

Can I return a mug?

If something is wrong with your order, contact us and we’ll help. Personalised or made-to-order items may not be returnable unless faulty, because apparently we cannot sell “Happy Birthday Dave, you absolute spoon” to everyone.

Are the rude mugs really rude?

Some are mildly rude. Some are chaos in ceramic form. We try to make it clear from the product images and wording, so please check before gifting one to your nan unless your nan is iconic.

Can I buy wholesale?

Yes, trade enquiries are welcome. If you run a shop and want to stock HANDLE THIS., get in touch and we’ll talk mugs, displays and caffeine-fuelled plans.

Do you do custom designs?

Sometimes. If you have an idea, message us. If it is funny, possible and won’t get us sued into another dimension, we’ll see what we can do.

Will a mug fix my life?

No. But it can hold coffee while you attempt to fix your life, which is basically the first step.

Is emotional support included?

Emotionally? Yes. Legally? Probably not. The mug will sit there and listen though, which is more than some people manage.

Can I blame the mug for my bad decisions?

You can try. We support creativity. We cannot guarantee the mug will accept responsibility.

Still confused?

Message us. We are probably nearby, over-caffeinated, and pretending to be organised.
