Deal: Samuel Adams Boston Lager Beer Glasses

[terrapinj]

my order was updated to shipped today

 

[strauseman55]

They said mine would ship today.

 

[Tubba]

I'm all about the glassware, and I usually like most styles but those are just... I don't know, there's something vase-esque over them.

I'd probably have gotten them if I was 'merrkin though.

 

[Hammy71]

Mine was shipped today too....but like others have said, wasn't really worried about the shipping time since I was warned.

 

[DoubleAught]

Mine still says awaiting fulfillment

 

[Gduck]

I had been told it takes forever to get things from them so I wasn't worried that I still haven't heard anything, but it is nice to hear other people have had their orders shipped.

 

[Gduck]

Excellent, just received an email saying my order of glasses has shipped. Now I just have to figure out which beer should be first to go in them!

 

[kegdawg]

Shipped!!!

 

[Vector]

I got an email saying my order has been shipped.

 

[DoubleAught]

also Shipped!!

 

[nefarious_1_]

shipped today!

 

[scrambledegg81]

Says "Offer has expired."

 

[DoubleAught]

Says "Offer has expired."

Well, on a positive note...by the time we get ours, it may once again be a "deal of the day"...lol

 

[DoubleAught]

I got the glasses today! They are pretty nice, however the smaller Sam Adams glass. I figured out why they sold them so cheap. They appear to be QC rejects, each glass has a slight imperfection, some worse than others. Mainly what I notice is a slight bubble in the glass, however one has a significant dis formed lip. Still not bad for the price.

 

[kegdawg]

Got mine!!

 

[AScott]

I got mine today and I think they are QC rejects as was hypothesized. At least I hope so.

I wish I had known that before ordering, as I probably would have passed. It's still a pretty good deal, but it would have been nice to have had that info before ordering.

yeah it's kind of a bum deal. I also noticed some glasses have the little "hop aroma release ring" etched in the bottom, and some don't.

Great deal. I just paid 8 bucks at the Boston brewery on Saturday. Of course I got to drink a lot of free beer that day. Just ordered a set. Thanks again OP.

 

[IffyG]

Got mine yesterday and they are certainly QC rejects. Two of them are pretty much unusable, but for the price I paid I got a set of 10 more or less matched glasses to replace my cobbled together collection of random pint glasses so I can't complain.

 

[cdezeeuw]

I doubt these are QC rejects. I received mine yesterday as well. Due to the poor packing for glassware, one of them was completely shattered. None of them had the laser etching and all had a sticker on the bottom stating "Made in Slovenia". Pretty sure these are poorly made knockoffs of the real thing. I emailed customer service and was given a full refund due the all the glaring failures of this order.

I was questioning that as well, some of mine have the sticker, some don't. Pretty ****ty to advertise these as the real deal.

 

[IffyG]

Doesn't matter if they are QC rejects or not though... it's pretty obvious they weren't accurately listed. The price point should have been a dead giveaway, but with something like a daily deal you never know.

I sent them an email this morning to let them know I received some pretty poorly constructed glassware (excess glass on the inside surfaces, huge bubbles in the lip of the glass, lack of the laser etching, deep grooves in some of the glasses). Hopefully I get some sort of response from them, but I figure returning the damn things will cost me more than I spent. Caveat emptor, I suppose.

 

[DoubleAught]

I've just emailed CS as well. We'll see what they say.

 

[brian74]

Keep us posted on what they say. I have about one or two that could pass as OK in quality. Other than that, they should be thrown away. A waste of $25. I would have rather spent the $30 on 4 quality glasses. I'll never do that again.

 

[nefarious_1_]

I also received mine today and am very disappointed. While they are not in the condition some of you are guys are describing, they are clearly knock-offs or defects. Some can't even stand up without rocking back and forth! I would have rather saved myself the money entirely.

I'm sending them an email now to see what they offer. I can't afford return shipping either: they should just make this right for us. What a rip-off.

 

[cdezeeuw]

Just as an FYI, my email was pretty harshly worded regarding my disappointment. I was given a full refund without having to ship them back. Sometimes a well composed email is worth it.

I was also quite confrontational in my email. Partly due to the fact that I'm a little drunk right now, but mostly due to my extreme dissatisfaction with the order. The email was in no way distasteful, but boldly expresses my disappointment. I hope they make this right for me.

found this interesting when searching around - anyone had any quality issues with the sensory glasses purchased from other sources?

This is a new set of glasses. However, they have a blemish or small bubble in the glass from the manufacturing process. In no way does it affect the functionality of the glass. (Imperfect)

1 of mine had a bubble in the glass, a couple had slight bumps on the lip but all had a small circle for what looks like the laser etching on the bottom.

i sent an email inquiring about them but I'm still happy with what I got for the price i paid - going to be doing a star san test this weekend to try to remove the label

Looks like you may have gotten lucky. I have the same bubbles and deformed lips, but only about half have the laser etching.

Let us know how the star san soaking works, I may try it if it works for you.

Got mine today. No blemishes. No etching. Just cheap Slovenian knockoffs. Oh well. They hold beer. I'll use these for brew days. If they get dropped, who cares!
