Title: UK Sellers of Playing Cards.
Post by: chris69uk on November 19, 2012, 12:02:27 PM
Hi, i was just wondering who people use in the UK for buying playing cards from?. Ive been on sites like magic nevin, the card collection etc etc but find they don't normally stock the new custom/theory 11 or ellusionist decks.

Alot of playing cards i buy come off ebay, and i normally stick to the same seller Ace of Wales [ebay - richyfaircroft] as his prices are fantastic and his customer service is even better! Anyone in the UK i would highly recommend you to check it out.
The company is the UK stockist of Pr1me playing cards. I have recently received a deck and the quality of the cards are impeccable. They have a nice smooth finish on them. (If anyone has any thoughts on these cards, you will have to let me know :) ) http://www.primeplayingcards.com. They sell seconds (slight printing errors) worth a check to see how you think they handle!!

UK playing card collectors, please look up Ace of Wales, they really are amazing, and go all they way for customer service. There have a facebook page (Ace of Wales Playing Cards) You wont regret it! (i am in no way connected to either company, just a card collector who has found a trustworthy seller)

I don't live in the UK but follow these guys, they seem to have a very solid business and get new things very often.

I am looking to sell some Sultan Treasury decks if you are looking for them?

I appreciate the mention Paul, really do :)

Whilst we don't stock absolutely everything - we're working hard to provide the best range and the best service in the UK - which won't be easy because the seller mentioned above does a great job as has already been mentioned - there's room for us both though, of course.

We are very much a stand-alone store currently and don't sell on Amazon/Ebay - which in reality costs us a little more in marketing/advertising and the like, but we're in it for the long term. We are currently the UK exclusive stockists for the Ornate Poker Chips (part of the ornate collection from Randy (http://aethercards.com/discourse/profile/RandyButterfield/) at Midnight Cards) and are hoping to announce other exclusives in the New Year too :)

If anyone would like a discount code feel free to drop me a private message or get me on Twitter. (http://twitter.com/jpplayingcards)

Now, hopefully, that wasn't too self-serving and Don won't delete it! :)

Why would I delete that?  You're hardly the first person to come on this forum to promote his or her products, and I doubt you'll be the last.  From what I hear, UK buyers need all the help they can get!

If you'd like to offer a discount code for Discourse users, I'd be glad to include it in the New Deck Report.

Also, while he's based in France and not the UK, Jujuforce (a member here) operates a shop that sells in euros and will ship to the UK.  There's two websites for it, in English and in French, and both sites are listed in the NDR with discount codes for Discourse members.  Perhaps the discount will help offset the shipping charges?

Thanks Don - I said that due to past experience of other forums (not card related), normally promoting a business blatantly is frowned upon but I guess this is different in the fact it's useful for the members :)

Anyway - we do have decent delivery prices to Europe to so i'd be happy to drop you a discount code for the members, i'll send a PM now.

If you're not making it the only reason you post or not posting excessively with nothing but your promotions, there's absolutely no reason why I'd reject yours.  Companies such as Ellusionist, Circle City Card Company, Midnight Playing Cards, The Blue Crown, Encarded, Zenneth Kok, etc. - they all promote their products here, or at least pass on useful information.

And yes, this is useful - the UK crowd here are constantly up in arms about the cost of American playing cards, with shipping and duty factored in.  You're practically doing them a service!

Yup :) Thanks. The only difference is that Randy, Paul, etc actually design their own decks - we just sell them :)

Anyway, thanks for being accommodating! It's a great forum.
