Off-topic randomness, anything goes. Keep it PG-13.

Shipping costs from Gambler's Warehouse?

Unread post by markjanderson »

Has anyone bought decks from Gambler's Warehouse (http://www.playingcards.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) lately?
I was putting some things in my cart, but it looks like their domestic (to Oregon) shipping costs are really really high now:

1 - 7.65
2 - 7.65
3 - 12.13
4 - 12.13
5 - 12.13
6 - 15.07

It would be cheaper for me to buy some of the decks from their eBay store with "free shipping" instead of buying directly from them
Seems odd since I would have thought that with eBay and PayPal fees they would be making less

You think that's bad, you should see the international costs. It's usually like $9 shipping per deck!

If you get a deck or two from them, post the pics. Would love to know what they use as packaging.

We are kind of restricted with shipping options on our current shopping cart :(

As soon as the holidays are over we are going to be moving to a new system and that will hopefully clear this issue up.

Amen to this! I used to buy from them all the time, but their shipping costs have just made it so prohibitive! I've had the shipping costs run $11.40 for two decks! That sort of negates any deal you might be getting.

Actually, I just checked. It looks like GW has finally gotten the message. Two decks was now only about $4.15, and four decks is $8.80. But I still had another 2 decks have a minimum $8 shipping charge.

But still guys, 4 decks can easily be shipped by Flat Rate Priority Mail - $5.00 shipping with all the free boxes you can shake a stick at. So you're still overcharging for shipping. I used to order from them all the time, but don't remember the last time I did because these costs are way too high. 3 Decks can go First Class for no more than $4, and Priority Mail Flat Rate can ship up the 8 decks for $5.25. The most you should ever be charging is $11 for a Flat Rate Medium Box, which could probably hold like 25 decks.
