52+Joker Club Deck by Lotrek (2016-19 UC member purchase)

[vasta41]

Again, I want one. Please let me know who to PP and how much?

Thanks!

[Bradius]

Mike is going to set up a group order for those that want them. It should be up shortly.

For those in Australia, I suggest getting in touch with Guru as it is probably best he make one order and forward within Australia to avoid too many poker nights as the Customs Office.

A UC Good Samaritan was able to assist me so I'm actually all set.

I hope that doesn't screw anything up. Thanks anyway!

[RichK]

I'd like a deck too. Mike work your magic form please.

Plus it is a place where even I get called “kid”.

It is already being discussed in another thread, and I will make a form for UC members to order the 52+Joker Club Decks from 2016 to current for about $30 plus $8 Priority Mail shipping for up to six decks.

Unfortunately that cost shipping only works for domestic / US delivery addresses. It is twice that for Canada and something insane like $40 overseas but if you don't have a US drop ship address it might be reasonable IF you want four or more, even though that's still $10 per deck. It was $32.50 until January when they went stupid plus eliminated insurance for "Parcel Select" completely. The cost for Parcel Select is nearly $25 now instead of $12-$15 depending on destination, pretty sure.

UPDATE: I checked and PMI up to 1kg is $36.70 discounted from $38 basic rate. They won't let you buy a label online for anything less, and Parcel Select is not available outside of the US at all, only "First Class" parcel service, and again, not available online - it has to be purchased full price from a post office. What I recall (and this was before the rate increased in January) it was variable from $18-$25. Doesn't make sense because $200 insurance is included in the $36.70 rate for Priority Mail International shipping.

Sunish also helped me out! Thanks again!!

[Bikefanatic]

So Mike is the only person taking deck orders?

[Bradius]

Mike took on the job, and by combining everyone, can get the best pricing.

Yep, we are closing fast on 30 decks, which is what I need to get them down to about $26-$27 each.

With 50 i might get another buck or so, but we are probably approaching as low as possible.

[james001a]

Mike Im in for one please!

[Mike Ratledge]

Mike Im in for one please!

Please post in the dedicated thread or send me a PM so I can keep track. I am already watching two places.

[machonekevin]

i'm in for a 2019 deck. thx

[Mike Ratledge]

Got it. Thanks

[Adonael]

Nobody has mentioned receiving it yet, but I just got mine and want to show off some photos, I think what's been done with the foiling is very interesting and certainly looks great in person!

[Decknowledgy]

Btw, Mike or any members of 52+Joker, what is the print run for this deck?

There were problems with the print run (EPCC) and only 400 of the intended 500 were made available.

I don't know precise details, but maybe there are "seconds"? Knowing the way boardmembers think, doubtful - but I will ask. Those of us who got one or more are already holding on to a Sold Out deck.

Thanks for the info, Mike. Was editing the deck's profile on P52

Everyone should be able to track their packages by now. last 4 single deck boxes were posted before noon today from my local Mailboxes, etc.

Delivery should be by Friday except non domestic shipments, and those take one or two weeks, even to Canada.

I just checked one and oddly enough it still shows up "PreShipment" with the date postage was first printed. Strange, not sure why. Check again tomorrow morning and it SHOULD show progress.

Stranger still, I did tracking on about half of them (5 or 6), 2 show delivered and the rest all show "PreShipment". Let's see what it shows about noon tomorrow. One of the 2 "Delivered" is RichK and I asked him to check his postage to see if it was misprinted, but he said he tore through the outer 2 of 3 layers and could not tell. The other delivered one was supposed to go to Austria but says it was delivered today in McClellanville (my post office - those were mailed from 29429 or Awendaw which is on my way to town.

[Mike Ratledge]

As of this morning all of them except one show progress. Again, pretty odd since the 3 posted at the same time DO show that they are either outbound from the Charleston Regional Distribution center or already in Columbia headed for Canada. The rest all show delivery by tomorrow.

I do need to figure why the one addressed to Austria shows up delivered to McClellanville (me, I suppose?). There is nothing in my mailbox, so maybe I will get a pickup notice later today? I will wait to see and follow up tomorrow.

Mine arrived, thanks Mike

Mine arrived, thanks Mike

Great! Yours is one I wondered WTH happened, because until today I was seeing "Pre Shipping" as if postage was printed but never received, even at 9AM this morning. See below...

Somehow the Postal Service is claiming it warped from my house Sunday to Niagara Falls this morning.

[Justin O.]

Cannot attest to that backwards math at all! But I am glad it showed up! Thanks Mike!!

Yours and the one other shipment that still shows PreShipment were mailed at the same time & location. Hopefully the other one will show up at the far end of the pipe tomorrow. Stranger still is that the ones I shipped Tuesday late afternoon and yesterday before noon all show up like they were scanned in
at the Awendaw post office, but actually mailed from Mailboxes, etc in Mount Pleasant. The postage was printed with 29429 (Awendaw) as the mailing PO. Maybe that is why?

[Mike Ratledge]

Okay, the last "missing" shipment suddenly warped into visual range after 5 days:

[aardvarkgod]

Not sure how I missed this offer for ordering. I ended up having to buy one off a third-party site

[james001a]

I haven't gotten mine yet but I want to thank Mike for taking our orders and making it easy for his fellow collectors to get this special deck. It is greatly appreciated and the deck will be a treasured addition to our collections.
