This deck looks good. Shame it's not funding fast.

Consider adding a link to the new KS to the first post? I was confused at first when I clicked the link and saw the campaign had been cancelled.
Thanks for the support! Appreciated.

I have gone back and made the edit as suggested.

All the best :D

Hi everyone,

For those who were interested in this project, the deck is now available to buy from our online store: http://www.ahplayingcards.com :D

Legends knocked it out of the park with the printing and finishing of these decks, we are very pleased with how they turned out.

Hope you are all keeping well!

Glad these were made and I was disappointed they did not fund! I really like these.

Went to buy 3, got to the shipping ... $35. I guess I won't be getting these unless they show up somewhere with more reasonable shipping.

Same here. I really like these, but the shipping for 2 vs 3 decks jumps from $11 to $35, which makes me hesitate. I might settle for 2, but I hope they can figure out a more affordable shipping solution.

The shipping costs are rather amusing (to me) for a deck that's called "Imported"

Hi everyone.

Firstly, thank you for your interest in our deck. We appreciate it! The irony of high shipping costs on a project called "Imported" is not lost on us...

We are in the process of finding a US vendor for our decks so that people in the USA can buy with cheap postage costs. In the meantime, being based in the UK, shipping to outside of UK/Euro is unfortunately high. Rather than exclude the US market we wanted to give people the option of buying even if the costs were high, although we have managed to offer a very reasonable solution for 2x decks due to the way parcel sizes are charged for.

All of that being said, my wife is in the process of trying to sort a cheaper shipping solution for a 3x deck parcel to the USA, because we don't want people put off purely due to shipping costs when they are genuinely interested in our deck.

I'll get back as soon as we have an update.

Thanks again :D

GOOD NEWS!

My wonderful wife has made a few adjustments and we are now able to offer a more reasonable 3x deck shipping solution to the USA. Due to parcel sizes etc. this is simply impossible for 4x decks and upwards, but for those who wanted 3, please go and check out our site :D

Thanks again

That's appreciated. we hope you like them! We're exploring some alternative shipping providers to try and get stuff out to the US for less money. Watch this space :D

We have just sourced an alternative provider for larger international packages and can now offer a more reasonable international shipping option to the USA (yay!). I hope some of you will come and check out the store with this in mind: http://www.ahplayingcards.com

Those who have already paid the existing international shipping rates are being refunded the difference and have been contacted individually.

Thanks again and take care!

Heads up for anyone that was previously interested in these but turned off by the shipping costs. They are now for sale on Vanishing and Penguin with free shipping.

Back design reminds me of the P3 Westminster deck. I like the colors used for the courts.
