Long story short: I ordered 2 Bodum 15-oz double wall glass mugs from Amazon last Thursday (above).
They arrived later that same day but that was the only good thing about my order.
When I opened the paper bag — not box! — containing the mugs, which were in their usual store shelf display package with a very thin layer of bubble wrap around each one, with the bubbles on the outside rather than the inside against the glass, which placement has been discussed previously here — to my dismay but not great surprise one of the mugs was no longer a mug but rather a collection of many sharp shards of broken glass.
Only the handle was intact.
Note also that the outer paper bag had on it a boastful declaration that this packaging used less material than the standard delivery enclosure.
I recall in the past ordering from the Bodum website when Amazon was out of these mugs: they came in a seriously padded hard box with molded styrofoam, as one would expect with such delicate glassware.
Two of these mugs from Bodum, now on sale, cost $29.99, same price as at Amazon.
