This is the fundamental disagreement between you and most of the other forum members. We just need to agree to disagree on this point and move on. I firmly believe that this forum has already effectuated many changes to the system and will continue to do so. If you truly don't think you can make a difference in the system, then why do you even care at all about us talking about it, other than to merely be argumentative or defend Jackson? Please leave us in peace to discuss the issue of international shipping without further argument from you. If international shipping rates go down in the future, you can thank us later. If international shipping rates never go down, then you can gloat all you want as you continue to get ripped off by shipping rates.TGunitedcardists wrote:It seems like many posters who disagree with me think they can change the system.

This is a well designed deck (as usual from Jackson) that is very reasonably priced, so it should fund. The only reason I see that may cause this project to be unsuccessful is the short funding period. Why did Jackson set it at only 20 days? Most other card projects, including many of his own, have 30-40 day funding periods. Also, it appears he's not promoting the Silver Arrow deck as aggressively through emails, facebook, and on his KW website as he has done for his other decks in the past. I know in an update, Brendan said they had issues with the internet which has prevented them from their usual marketing, but that was 3 days ago. How does a web-based business like KW allow issues with the internet to last for 3 days? And with a project with as short of a funding period as this, every day is critical.StanKindLee wrote:Today is a critical funding day - the project needs a bit more than 4% of goal funded daily from here on out, and it's looking quite possible that those numbers will not happen.
Jackson pulled the plug early on his Army deck. He waited only a few months before liquidating excess inventory. Now he's set the funding period for his deck at only 20 days. Why is he so impatient lately?
