In the world of international sales and manufacturing it's becoming very more difficult to find good high quality business that manufacture and sale genuine quality and craftsmanship. I am very please to say that this company, Tankard.com, is one of these rare high quality businesses who take their workmanship seriously. Their Tankard products are of the fineness quality with craftsmanship to match. Their attention to detail and excellent two-way customer interaction to get your order just as to desire it is very good. Their Tankard designs and uniqueness is impressive, as is the detail in artwork (if desired) is exceedingly well done. You will not be disappointed with their product. With regards to costs... It comes down to 'what you pay for is what you get' meaning yes these Tankards are somewhat dearer than many others. However it's their uniqueness in design, genuine high quality and detail to their workmanship that sets this business above the other hit-and-miss generic products. I ordered a special Tankard with additional artwork design and between their inaction with me down here in Australia, saw my ordered completed and delivered to my doorstep with-in a little of a week from the United Kingdom and Australian. I wholeheartedly recommend their products and business to one and all. Rodger Henry Brisbane Queensland Australia
