UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

This place is usually very quiet on weekends. I'll be there. 1 1/2 hours away.

Congrats on the launch!!!

Quick question though, why do the tiers include worldwide shipping ($16 for two, ships anywhere in the world) yet to add them on, per the table, price with shipping for two decks to the U.S. is $24. Am I missing something?

Also, will uncut sheets be available?

I don't think that the tiers "include" worldwide shipping, but rather just ship worldwide.
When I click on the 2 deck tier ($16) it then says that it's an additional $8 for shipping that get's us up to the same $24 price listed in the add-on sheet,

I'm at the earlybird tier and I didn't have to add any shipping. Not sure if that's part of being an early bird, or the fact I'm in southeast asia.

I think that tier is missing from the shipping table. I got the same result - total $7??

Probably. I just found out that they didn't even list the Philippines under Southeast Asia since shipping cost for the brick is $30 as opposed to $25 for USA and SEA.

Hi friends! Sorry for not posting during the weekend, two quick answers: early birds do not pay any shipping fees (I should have stated it more clearly).
As for shipping locations, I just followed the table provided by the fullfillment center, sorry for Philippines

Don't you think that our Queens are the sexiest?

Very lovely queens indeed! Wish the Queen of Spades weren't looking away though.

Ok, you migth want to check the project page now, uncut sheets are offered as specific tiers and add-ons.

We are teasing...

I mentioned in the project update but figured I'd bring it up here as well: it seems a joker is missing. Ran out of space?

Actually, I can answer that. With 54 cards instead of 56, the idea was to insure one double backer card was on the sheet so people who frame them have the back showing.

For you to print 56 cards with Legends or Expert PCC, you have to put two cards on a separate sheet, each 27×

I don't know, some people might prefer otherwise, but that was my suggestion. As always, there's no way to be perfect for everyone, and of course as we have seen even 57 and 58 card decks have been done. 57 also works easily, since the second sheet could be 18× those three cards.

Ah ok. But the second joker is still being printed? Just on a separate sheet? Or are the cards on the uncut layout everything?

Or maybe the other joker is just flipped so we see the back along with the rest of the cards and the rendering of the back of the uncut sheet is incorrect. Guess we have to wait for Conturbia to clear it up.

Beginning to feel for our Intl folks, these shipping rates aren't nice. $15 to ship a tube hurts. I understand why it's that much, just hurts seeing it.

I shipped a standard tube priority for just over $6 in the US. Where is this shipping from?

Shipping is direct from LPCC. So while we hopefully won't have to wait for the slow boat to cross the pacific, we do have to pay higher shipping for the U.S.

"LPCC has its own fulfillment center, therefore the shipping process will be easier, faster and with better prices for several countries."

I thought I read something like that. I'm debating on what to do with my pledge now.

It's like all Legends / Expert uncuts. Beyond 52 cards you only have two more "slots" in their 9 wide by 6 tall layout.

Just like Heretic, the extra cards have to be printed on a separate sheet.

Believe it or not, the $15 shipping is correct, shipping from Hong Kong has one disadvantage, it's based strictly on weight. There's no such thing as our "Flat Rate" boxes.

In this case, yes, it's us feeling "their" pain for once. Those heavy tubes are just that - heavy. All shipping there is based on (metric) weight.

The joker will be printed, don't worry. and... you can expect something else in the next days

As for the shipping prices.. I'm so sorry, really, but I'm just using the data I have in my hands. I believe that each fullfillment center has its own pros and cons. Anyway, even if it has been a specific choice to differentiate reward prices from shippings, to be more transparent to you, it's the total amount that counts, and I hope that you can find it reasonable.

Dear friends, you might be interested in this FB event: https://www.facebook.com/events/920693797975800/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; we will unveil our Collector's EditionS. Yes, plural.

Stay tuned!

Noooo, i can't get on FB right now. Internet on the boat has Fb blocked and I'm without my phone till the 18th.

I'm not really an add-on guy when it comes to things other than decks of playing cards and I still won't be getting these. But I think this is a very creative and unique item- US stamps! Pretty damn cool, IMO.

We have a new add-on that we can offer for the U.S. market only: customized postal stamps! You will be able to choose the character you prefer from Love is a Smoke and to personalize your stamps with your initials or a date/number that has a meaning for you! The stamps are regular 0.49$ ones that can be used in the United States.

But you are a backer right? You will receive a backer only update.

Thank you! I was coming here to add this information, I'm glad you did it for me and I appreciate that you like them! I'm not an add-on guy too, but when the team came up with this idea I was excited.

Dear friends what do you think about this procedure for getting our Collector's Editions?

I'm trying to be fair with the early backers, but I want to have a precise reservation list.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_NgdJU ... Y/viewform" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That seems fair to me.

Sidenote: I'm not quite sure what the last question is about. Personalization? Contact info?

Riccardo, that looks really good, with one exception - when you say "it's over" a better way of saying it in English is "it is sold out".

Maybe add how many are available? If it will not let you track "inventory", just "30 each" or whatever works, assuming that you intend to make up to 60 (30 "Dandy" + 30 “cigar")..

Everything else reads well.

Not certain about the "Doesn't matter", because most people will have a clear preference, but maybe make that a check box instead of a 3-way "radio button"? That way they can clearly state their preference AND optionally say "I will take the other edition if my choice is solid out". That is better I think. If the price is the same for both editions, it will be easier to let people pick "1st choice" and optionally check "if my first choice is sold out, I will be happy with the other edition".

Tom, I think - but not certain - he is asking if you want it with your name on it, and letting you pick" magikfingerz" or "Tom Kxxxxx", for example.
