The idea is great. They cost a little more than most coffee stirrers, but offer a nice touch for a beach side coffee depot. Unfortunately they send them in a plastic bag, with no packaging and they come extremely damaged. The first time they put it in a shipping box with bottled waters, and other heavy items. Needless to say every single stirrer was damaged with hundreds of wood chips in the bag. The second “replacement” was sent in a plastic mailer, by itself (instead of a corrugated box) and again, every stirrer is broken into small chips. Amazon won’t send another replacement now even though they caused the issue both times themselves. They don’t read feedback stating the item needs to be packed properly. So I personally won’t be buying these again and would not recommend them unless you want to pay top dollar for broken wood chips.
