Yeah, Blue Lug are the best! They are some of my most favorite-ist folks, and it ain't very close. I love how fun-loving they are, and how they don't take themselves very seriously. That totally fits my vibes! Their fun nature comes through on their products. It's no surprise that U.S. retailers sell out so quickly! I've placed fifteen orders with them since 2022. They have always gotten to me in less than a week here in Philly. DHL was quick, and my last four orders were after the change to FedEx. I haven't experienced any change in delivery times worth noting, but I'm in no rush to get something clear around the other side of the planet. The shipping prices dropped a tad for me since the change to FedEx. I particularly enjoy ordering their in-house brand items, and their "local" brands like Nitto and MKS. The Japan products prices come in so cheap!. but it's more important to me that they are less likely to be out of stock than other places I buy from. Blue Lug is totally my candy shop. Love 'em!
Long live the fun-havers! 😊🚲 On Sunday, May 11, 2025 at 7:02:40 AM UTC-4 [email protected] wrote: > My last issue with ordering from Blue Lug wasnt with them, but with FedEx. > I think DHL saw future problems and got out.
