Great deck. USPCC printed 1000 deck run. But at $25/deck (inc shipping) to US, I don't think I can get on board...

Yeah, it's the $15 (USD) shipping for one deck that kills it.  Even if the shipping were reasonably priced, I'd still pass.  Don't like it enough to spend $13 on it.

DAMN, that's expensive.  The shipping is more than the cost of the deck!  It's likely due to the project being based in Australia and the creator not finding a US distribution partner.  He's self-shipping from Australia to save a few buck but pricing the American market out completely.

EDIT: I just dropped him a line, suggested he try using a US fulfillment service and asked him to stop by the forum.  Hopefully, we'll see him here soon.

Hi guys. Florey here, the creator of this deck. I just wanted to pop in to say thanks to anyone who took the time to take a look at the Kickstarter campaign. Also just wanted to clear a few things up regarding costs/shipping.
First, the cost of shipping a deck within the US comes out to around $10-$11USD not $15USD. The cost of shipping is listed as $15AUD so there might be some confusion there. I tried to get Kickstarter to let me list the campaign in USD but to no avail.
Second, I'm not shipping these myself. All decks and rewards will be shipped from my guys in the US. I use them for my art prints and other products. They don't specialise in playing cards so we just put our heads together and came up with the best plan we could and this is what the costs came out to. Sorry if it's a bit more expensive than you're used to but it's the best I could do. Honestly I don't understand how some of these guys get their prices so low but I've already learned a few things and hopefully next time around (fingers crossed this one makes it!) I hope I can do better for you all.
In the end I'm not looking to make a fortune on these. I just want to make a cool product that we can all have a bit of fun with.
Cheers.

Thanks for stopping by, Florey.  Feel free to make yourself at home, chat about your deck and other upcoming decks and check out topics on some of the other latest and vintage designs.  We have a popular Design and Development board for designers to show off concepts and refine them with feedback from the members - many a deck received its final polishing on that board.

Oh also, I forgot to mention that I'm eating any shipping over the initial amount when you add more decks. So it's $15AUD (~$11USD) shipping if you order one deck. If you order two decks...shipping stays at $15AUD. The same for three decks, four decks and so on (unless you order a brick).

I am biting the bullet on this one, I like the artwork/design way too much, two decks plus one of the LE Blacks is going to set me back $64... Ridiculous. Rock and an expensive place I guess...
