Title: Best USA fulfillment service for Playing Cards?
Post by: Claire G on February 10, 2017, 03:01:57 PM: Hey all!

Sorry for the inactivity but I've been caught up a few issues at home but I'm back baby! :D

After my somewhat successful kick starter for PlayingColor https://www.playingcolor.com/ (https://www.playingcolor.com/), I've been shipping them from Australia and even gave my friend a few decks to take with him to US so he can ship them out from there to lower costs for the customers!

However, I need a long term solution for fulfillment/distribution for playing cards and wondering who have you used and how much were their costs?

Claire

They do lots of kickstarters and I've actually seen them packaging orders in person when I've gone by their shop. I don't know if they'll only buy wholesale or if they'll do consignment for you, but I will second that suggestion.

I agree, the deck looks amazing and so much fun - with infinite possibilities :)

I too am curious about fulfilment solutions from Australia. To date, I have been shipping my decks directly - and while postage to the US isn't as expensive as to some European countries, anything that cuts down on shipping cost for backers is a good thing :)
