I'm sure you'll get this funded and I'm sure I can get this decks in the after market for a way better deal than this... $15 to ship one deck?? $17 to ship 2... Good luck with that!

We have done our very best to reduce the shipping costs internationally on pledges of 2 decks or more and within the USA the rates are even lower than what they were with Art of Play.
(...) we consider the prices to be fair.
Did you by any chance checked JR Pearl Tally Ho project, he offers int'l shipping starting from $6 to one deck, $8 for two, and then it's just $2 more for any extra deck you add (I could get 6 decks from that canpaingn and pay almost the same that you ask for just one deck in yours for shipping, ridiculous!), do you see the difference?
Thank you for your feedback. We disagree about your comments about our shipping costs being a rip off however.
- Amazon charge us a base price, and that's what we charge. There are no special deals with a company as massive as Amazon.
- Also notice the price per deck of Jackson's playing cards. He has significantly more room to move in regards to adjusting his international shipping costs by losing a little profit on his decks.
- While Gambler's does have slightly cheaper fulfilment prices, don't forget to take into account Jackson's personal relationships he may have with them, and the benefits that may include.
- Further, with Amazon, like Art of Play, your cards will arrive quickly, with professional packing, ensuring your package is going to actually arrive safely with no mixups. Mix ups on orders is something we've heard about with several smaller fulfilment centres, and that's something we simply won't tolerate for the benefit of our backers.
- There is also a point with International Shipping from the USA, where base costs are simply unavoidable. You would be paying something similar, if not more if you were shopping with companies like theory11 or Dan and Dave.
As always we appreciate your feedback and comments. We took on board the comments, especially from this forum, about our rates with Art of Play and we have done something about it. International Rates on multiple decks, are far fairer and remains steady on decks of two or more with Amazon.
Thanks again for your support and for raising this issue. We hope you have a great day!
