Tony needs to re-issue these on the mainland. For what these guys paid for shipping this is an absolute nightmare. I really feel for Atomic and KTD,I was one click away from ordering this one myself and can only imagine my heart dropping upon seeing that mess. I've got my fingers crossed that you are both well reimbursed.

Well that does not bode well for me. I'm still waiting for 2 of those and so far everyone but Hala Bullhiki has received broken ones.

So are we to assume, based on kingstiedye's photo, that these mugs were shipped in a padded envelope? From Europe?
Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say `nee' at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred.
In other words: "I feel your pain."

OK, so they were kind of generic tiki mini-planters to begin with, but the loss is still tragic...

Don Ho passed away on April 14, 2007.
One week later, in honor of his memory, I used one of his signature glasses when drinking some mai-tais. Late in the evening, while attempting to refill the glass, it slipped out of my hands.
Somehow, it all seemed appropriate. The sound of the glass breaking - a reminder that Don Ho was no longer with us. As the man goes, so follows the glass.
(I do have another similar glass, which I will keep on display and NOT use.)

And.... I'm the angriest man in the DC area this morning.
Last night, a recently relocated shelf full of MUNKTIKI mugs came out of the wall...
The collateral damage even put a couple of chips into our Ohana Hut (perhaps homeowner's insurance is warranted for that mug alone!)
it's madness, madness!!!!!!!
I can has anger?!!!
