  • Ugh, I wish I had money for THAT deck!
For those that have purchased from Aloys before, what is their shipping price to the US? Do they include shipping in their prices usually? I know earlier on this thread someone stated that these were sold for about $11. Will it be the same for their international release?

From what I remember, it costs about $17 international shipping for 3 decks (which is the quantity I purchased when I bought the floral decks)

There is a chance that changed with the recent price increase, at least for US buyers.

...and the US Postal Service raised its rates recently, making international AND domestic mail cost more.

It's possible they're shipping from the US.  All I know is that aloysstudio.com is operated from Malaysia.

Why on Earth is she even offering bulk pricing for a deck that's in such short supply to start with?  If anything, there should be LIMITS on how many you can buy.  Those decks are going to vanish as quickly as they arrive unless her servers crash.  It's making me wonder if I should even bother trying...

maybe because they don't have any fan base, so they think not so many people will buy this and looking and this thread, not so many people seems interested with the deck

Exclusive retailer to the rest of the world of one of the most sought-after decks of the year so far, and she thinks people won't be interested?  That's either near-sighted or crazy!  People ARE interested, but they think they're not going to be able to get any - and this makes that seem even more the case.

Did they not do that with the floral deck too? Definitely try Don, you don't wana take the chance and miss out, do you? .. If you ask me, the guys in America r lucky cos this is going live at peak time, in the UK it'll b 1am. Although I don't usually sleep at that time, I have a feeling I will be this time around cos that's just my luck  :-[

Sigh... The price tag on shipping within the US is more than the deck itself. Unfortunately, I don't have the want right now to buy a brick. So unfortunately I won't be owning any of these anytime soon. Maybe if they get resold on eBay for cheaper since shipping won't tear me apart... Maybe not seeing as there will be a markup.

Oh well! Not buying these will save me money!

I thought the same way.
International shipping is too high.

Ooops. Accidentally clicked a wrong button and ordered a brick. Again, if my girlfriend turns up, I wasn't here....
My mom always said I'd be great at something. Who'd have thought that something would be zombie killin'.
