I talk with them annually about their lack of stuff in my size.  All I get is arrogance.
Having abandoned my search for truth, I'm now looking for a good fantasy.

A
Furman doesn't all Tevis tumblers to use their logo anymore or so I was told at one store in Greenville.  I did find some at Rush Wilson.  The store that Flag mentioned has a few decals, etc.

I actually found Furman Tervis Tumblers at the fan store in the Charleston Tanger Outlet mall. 

Wally World was a waste of my time since whoever I asked about the chairs looked at me as though I wasn't from this planet.  I was in town early this morning, so I don't think the other place was even open yet.  It's very frustrating to not find anything when the bookstore is closed.  I'm hoping they have a catalog that I can order from, especially since I'm not the biggest fan of their website.

So who is this Furman Tervis guy?   ;D

I do know I was given some Tervis Tumblers (gift) a few years ago and went to the Tervis site to buy some more and didn't see them but saw others - even small schools - from emory (!) to Wofford (2 options).  ugh  -  this doesn't help...     we need more of our product out there.  Every time I see someone with a FU magnet it makes me proud.  Magnets etc help keep the name and pr out there.

If this truly is the policy (in-house only), then I have a new policy of my own: buy no FU stuff.   Someone has to teach these idiots about marketing.  Apparently they think that they can sell a $5 T-Shirt for $30 as long as no one else is selling them for $8.  They are wrong.

Exactly  -  this is going to be the typical reaction and I can't fault you at all.  This kills me from a fan standpoint.  We need as many magnets and hats and shirts out there as possible so people see there are FU fans.
