LOL WOW

Can you imagine if they had this again... the servers would crash for sure!

FYI.. this is how these 2 decks ended up in my collection!  I wish I would have made multiple purchases.

The White Centurions sell for $200 per deck now

Go figure... Conflicting information at the USPS... I will tell you, this is the only reason I don't ship internationally on eBay... If you ship priority, and the accepting country does not track or confirm delivery of the package and the recipient claims he did not receive it, eBay and Paypal side with the recipient and the seller ends up with neither the goods, nor the $...  Express is too expensive... I explained to my local postmaster what was written here and he stood by his initial statement - "It's up to the country accepting the package as to whether or not they wish to track through the point of delivery..."   So both our postmasters seem to be at an impasse... I would like further clarification... Thus, I will be researching this further...

Perhaps I can put this to rest once and for all... I was at the Post Office today and had a friendly chat with the Postmaster (the person who runs the entire show)... He explained it very simply...

As of today, May 23, 2012, when sending a package internationally, the ONLY way to get tracking information, including delivery confirmation, is to send a package express mail... PERIOD

When sending a package flat rate - small, medium, or large, the package is designated a tracking number, but it is only guaranteed to be used up until the package leaves the country... The package may say 'LaGuardia Airport..." etc...   This lets you know that the package left the country successfully... Once it leaves this country it is entirely up to the receiving country as to whether or not they wish to scan or update the status of a package... Many countries do not, but some do... Many countries will only post when the package is delivered, and some do not at all... The bottom line is that there is absolutely no guarantee that the package is tracked from the sender to the recipient unless you are using express mail... -J.

I've been told countless times by postal workers that only Express Mail International packages can be tracked outside of the US.

Sorry guys. When I post here, I basically randomly click 1+ topics per day and scan through them, as well as any support topics that pop up in OAC.

As some of you may know, when you ship from the US, you cannot get a tracking number internationally that tracks it outside of the US itself unless you purchase express mail. Well, that costs quite a bit extra but after talking through it with CBJ we decided that's a better option than insuring the package for $1,000-2,000 and wiring Carlo money if it gets lost. Not only does the insurance claim take months to go through, but I think it kind of defeats the purpose of what we are doing. There are countless better places we could have all invested $2,000 into, but not a single better place I can think of that deserves $2,000 worth of cards.

I am also repacking the package. While shipping out the first Vortex decks I learned a thing or two about making sure no damage comes to the contents while still maximizing space in the box. It's now lined with bubble wrap and then stuffed in every empty crevice that is left over.

It's a bit late but I don't think that will change how absolutely thrilled Carlo will be when he receives it.

@Lara: That rage comic is all too true. No D3 for me yet, though. I have to ship about 30 more package by its release and then a glorious week off to indulge in the game and spend some time with my family and girlfriend.

You guys can once again thank CBJ for alerting me through FB and keeping tabs on things.

Sadly, this is not going to be a USPCC deck. They were initially going through USPCC but are now going through a local company in New Jersey called Admagic. They say the quality is very good... but I've never heard of this place...
