Nature of ceramics and glassware
Due to the inherent nature of ceramics and the properties of glassware produced by foreign and domestic manufacturers, there may be slight imperfections and irregularities which should not be perceived as defective. Variations in materials, firing temperatures and color pigments may result in variations in glaze and imprint colors. Ounces, sizes, and measurements are approximate and may vary from batch to batch, and within each batch. Slight variation in size, occasional pinholes, minor breakage etc. should all be considered as a normal part of purchasing ceramic items.
These variations are within industry standard. Providing 100% quality would require much more rigid sorting criteria at the factories resulting in substantial price increases. Our products, as well as those of ALL mugs suppliers in North America, are meant to be set at a reasonable standard based on the average industry market price.
Claims and Returns
Claims and/or returns must be made within 30 days of receipt of goods. CDI is not responsible for expenses beyond the cost of goods. For documented claims, CDI provides a refund for the cost of the damaged product but does not replace. For returns, only intact cartons will be accepted, and CDI charges a 15% restocking fee.
Dishwashing and microwave use
Most items are top rack, residential dishwasher safe. Do not microwave any products containing cork, metal, rubber or plastic.
