FAQ

How does shipping work?

Where we ship: All U.S. states (including AK/HI), plus PO Boxes and APO/FPO/DPO.

 

Processing time: In‑stock orders ship in 1–2 business days Mon–Fri. Orders placed after 12:00 pm PT usually go out the next business day.

 

Shipping rates: Calculated at checkout. Most orders start around:

  • $10 (West)
  • $11 (Central)
  • $12 (East & AK/HI)

Your exact rate is shown before you pay.


Transit time: Carrier‑estimated delivery is shown at checkout and starts after we hand your order to the carrier.

 

Tracking: You’ll get a tracking email for every shipment as soon as it leaves the warehouse.

What's your return policy?

30‑day “try it” window: Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery if the mug is clean, dry, and in resellable condition (no dents, scratches, stains, odors, or heavy wear; all parts included).

 

We cover return shipping: Start a return from our contact form with your order ID + shipping ZIP and we’ll email you a prepaid return label.

 

Simple steps: Pack the mug securely (original box recommended), apply the label, and drop it off. We typically process refunds 2–3 business days after the mug checks in; banks may take a few extra days to post.

 

Exchanges: Want a different color or quantity? Place a new order now and return the original with our prepaid label. We refund the first order once it’s inspected.

 

Damaged or incorrect: If anything arrives damaged or not quite right, email welcome@tuffmug.com within 7 days with your order ID and photos of the mug + packaging. We’ll fix it quickly with a replacement or refund.

 

Lids & warranty: If your lid arrives damaged or fails within the first 30 days, we’ll replace it at no cost. For manufacturing defects after that, our warranty covers repair, replacement, or refund (normal wear and misuse aren’t covered).

 

Non‑returnable items: Final‑sale items, gift cards, custom products, and gifts‑with‑purchase are only returnable if the gift is sent back too.

What's the warranty?

Your Tuff Mug is covered by a 2‑year warranty against manufacturing defects. If something’s off, reply to your order email or contact us with your order number and a photo. We’ll repair, replace, or refund as needed—no runaround.

 

If your lid breaks within 30 days of delivery, we will replace it free.

How long does it keep drinks hot or cold?

Up to 12 hours hot or cold.

 

The Tuff Mug is double-wall, vacuum-insulated 304 stainless steel, with extra-thick walls that help slow heat transfer for steadier temperature. 

 

Results vary with drink type, lid use, and room temperature, but it is built to keep coffee hot and cold drinks chilled through long sessions.

Is the Tuff Mug BPA free?

Yes. The mug body and handle are 304 stainless steel, and the lid is BPA‑free plastic. No interior coatings—just stainless where your drink sits.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes. The mug and lid are dishwasher safe.

 

The body is 304 stainless steel with a laser-engraved logo, so there is no coating or paint to chip or peel. 

 

Wash it like your regular drinkware, no special care needed.

Is it leakproof?

No. The lid is splash-proof, not fully leakproof.

It is made for drinking at your desk, counter, or at home. 

 

It will handle normal bumps, but if you toss it in a bag it should be kept upright.

Is the Tuff Mug for the gym or the desk?

Both, but it is built for the desk first.

It is great for sipping during a workout, at a coaching station, or in a gym office. Because the lid is splash-proof (not sealed), it is not meant to be thrown in a bag like a shaker. 

Is it heavy?

No. It feels solid, but it is not heavy. 

 

At 1.1 lb, it weighs more than a typical ceramic mug and about as much as a full water bottle. 

 

It is also much lighter than the oversized, extra-thick novelty mugs. The weight is intentional for stability and durability, without feeling cumbersome to carry.

 

 

How does the knurling feel?

Like a premium barbell - secure without feeling sharp.

 

The edges are smoothed and the handle is finely machined, so you get a confident grip that stays comfortable for everyday use.

Does it fit in a cupholder?

Not in most standard car cup holders.

It is built for desks and counters first. 

 

If you want to use it in the car, a cup holder expander can make it work.

What makes the Tuff Mug different from a regular mug?

It is built like training equipment, not standard drinkware.

 

You get 304 stainless steel, vacuum insulation, and a patented barbell-style handle with a real 28mm grip and knurling.

 

The feel is the difference. It is a mug you grab like a barbell, and that small daily cue helps keep your training mindset switched on.
