Synthpop & The Boy's Cards [Карты Пацана] by @oldproof [Vitaly Sinkevich]

Unread post by montenzi »

Hi UC,

Both decks are a local (RU) release, but we'll offer 29 of each on montenzi.nz anytime soon.

Love both decks! Printed on Chinese paper, but I like the handling. It's a surprisingly nice stock and finish. It's not the best on the market, but the quality is very acceptable.

More photos on my Instagram/Story: https://www.instagram.com/stories/montenzi/

Shipping: directly from our Chinese warehouse, EU friendly. p.s. My decks were delivered within 5 days to NZ.

Release date: TBC

We have the date. I'll list 29 of each decks (all I have) on https://montenzi.nz/collections/playing-cards Most likely, I'll be offline, and it will be a scheduled product publishing.

Shipping: from China (EU-friendly).
  • Rates for Asia and the UK are very good. For example, shipping of 4 decks to the UK is $6.95.
  • The maximum number of decks per order in our current setup is six.
  • If you order more decks from another warehouse, you will pay for two shippings.
p.s. I tried to offer more decks, but all of them have already been delivered to Oldproof's local warehouse.

Hopefully, next time we (he) will be more prepared and offer more decks. Just to clarify, it's not a limited edition, so the deck might be available later (if Vitaly finds how to accept international cards). But as soon as I received both decks in NZ, I instantly asked him, "How can I get more of these beauties?" :D Anyway.

Another point to consider is that I do not want decks that were not designed by me to be available on my website for an extended period of time. Also, direct sales are always better than using a third party like me because I have to include taxes in the price. Since my direct expense is $0, a 28% tax will be paid on the full sale amount plus processing and other fees. Hopefully, he will be able to offer direct sales, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks to everyone who ordered decks! Two bricks sold :lol: it's a good result. We will send your orders for fulfillment tonight. Listings will be shut down within 24 hours, as I never planned to have them online for more than one day.

We have a slight delay. For some reason, manager intervention was necessary. Afterward, the tracking numbers were updated to new ones. We are currently waiting the final confirmation and are in contact with the warehouse. I do not fully understand the reason as all of this is being handled with @oldproof's account, but we are waiting for the new tracking numbers. It's our first experience dealing with this warehouse, and we might have done something wrong.

Ok, I received and uploaded the tracking details 24 hours ago. You should have received a notification. There is one exception: one order was placed for manual processing, so there is a delay.

If you open the tracking details, it is still in the "Parcel information received" status. However, all parcels to the US have already been shipped, and the tracking information will be automatically updated anytime soon.

We have our first delivery to the USA, and it took 7 days from the moment the order was confirmed by our Chinese warehouse. :ugthink: All the packages are either already en route to the USA or are close to being delivered.

An interesting observation: if we compare this with the transit time of Gamblers Warehouse, it doesn't look favorable for them, unfortunately. A lot of time is lost between OSM and USPS. I analyzed deliveries over the past two months and found that, on average, it took approximately 8-10 days to deliver a parcel within the US. The minimum was six days, and the maximum was fourteen days.

p.s. If there are any issues, please let us know.

OSM sucks, plain and simple, if you were tracking a package between GW and me on the east coast 7 of those days the package would still be in Texas with OSM.

As someone with hmmm lets say a vested in Interest in the USPS not getting blamed for things it cant control (not to say mistakes arent made there too)...its OSM here. The last thing S17 shipped me from GW went straight USPS and got here in 3 days.

I am in the US and today is the 11th day from shipping. It looks like from the tracking info it is still a couple of days away. For some reason my package taking a bit longer.

Mine just says "[US] Transport Delay" since May 27th, so hopefully more news to come. I don't think you're alone on this one.

Yes, your tracking was the worst :D But there is some progress.

It took 4-6 days to clear US customs for almost all of the parcels. Everything is up to USPS now. I believe your decks should be delivered on Monday as the parcel is in your city.

Package just arrived today! Despite the delays, it was packaged well, with each deck in a separate cardboard box and bubble wrapped.

Any plans on bringing these two outside the Russian market?

Yes, your parcel was delivered with a significant delay (an exception)! The average transit time, including international deliveries, was 10 days. Your transit time was 21 days.

As far as I know, there are no plans to offer other decks on my site in the coming months. But you can ask this question directly.

P.S. We may have another collab with @oldproof this autumn/winter. But first, I'll have to fulfill Legendarium, finish my delayed AI project, launch and fulfill another Kickstarter project (collab). It will be a busy winter—your summer... luckily, it's still winter for me :lol:
