Got them!!!!!! Now I'll savour those decks slowly, patiently, thoroughly, with passion... Ok, I need to get out of confinement

@shkorc and @Kurama, thanks! Enjoy!

I sent one big parcel from NZ to AU on the 15th of May (Courier). It's still in transit! I had another parcel sent a little earlier to AU, and it took two weeks to get delivered! Everything is so slow! I think some of the Posts use ships to transfer parcels cargo between countries. BTW, FedEx transit time USA->NZ is almost 7-10 days now. China->NZ is 1 month even for small parcels. USA->EU 1-2 months.

Buyworthy is waiting for it and will ship decks to backers using local tracked service as soon as they receive my parcel.

She lives in New Zealand, so it was almost overnight (ok, two days as couriers are overloaded after lifting covid restrictions in NZ).

Yeah AusPost has been rubbish in the last couple of months. I know it's not exclusively their fault, but getting stuff to my PO is a nightmare.

I'm waiting on a couple of parcels from GW. The first hasn't updated tracking in over 2 weeks (and before Brad says anything it's still in the US, AFAIK) and the other took 6 weeks to make the flight from O'Hare to SFO, and has yet to leave the US.

mine arrived a few days but picked up today, all arrived in perfect condition, very happy, thank You Alex and Simon

Another super cool unboxing video from France (the Purple deck)

Gamblers Warehouse sent an invoice, I'll pay it now. I hope they will send decks to US backers this week. UPDATE2: GW confirmed next week. Ok. It's beyond of my control.

UPDATE: AU parcel from NZ is in Sydney now! Finally!

I have a package from GW that entered Tennessee this morning. With any luck, I'm hoping it will arrive in the next couple of days. I hope this is it.

Are you sure that it's No.7 deck? I don't have a confirmation from GW.

AU parcel will be delivered today. Backers will start receiving decks this week.

No, I don't know for sure. It could be The Green Man decks. But these are the only two projects that are actively shipping right now (that I'm aware of).

Ok! GW is working on fulfillment now. I know it's too slow, but I cannot help with this. AU fulfillment should also be started/finished today or tomorrow.

EU/UK backers: if you have not received your decks, please let me know.

Canada/Asia: Transit time is going to be 1-2 months.

Fulfillment by GW (shared on IG/Story):

AU fulfillment: DONE Thanks to Josh from Buyworthy! It was a great pleasure working with you! https://www.buyworthy.com.au/

I sent tracking details to all AU backers via KS PM. All parcels were sent with tracking using local Parcel Post service.

Update: It was the Green Man decks. I never get the email from GW telling what they shipped until the day the package is going to be delivered. Glad to see it looks like these will be following closely behind.

Received mine in Norway a couple of days ago. They are simply stunning!

My decks arrived today. They are even more beautiful than the pictures show.

Thanks! US backers have started receiving decks! It's a good news! I don't have tracking details/confirmation from GW.

p.s. 50% of AU parcels delivered.

I received mine today and they are very very nice. The colored foil turned out great.

Received mine, couldn't be happier with it and definitely want to add the two borderless editions (including a card from each was a nice touch) to my collection someday!

I only got the email today, but the decks were also delivered today. Like Rob, I got Green Man pretty much same day as the email as well, and it's not just slow emails - GW has been getting things delivered in a few days rather than a week.

Not that I'm complaining, I like a surprise in the mailbox!

The cards are, as everyone has said, amazing. It's very pleasing that the UC annual deck is a full blown cardistry deck.

I got both of my decks today. I only opened the green one, it's better than I expected. I can imagine how the purple will look.....


I think we have a runner up for the best looking fan for this deck(s). They also shuffle and dribble very well.

Picked mine up today. As nice as I expected. Thanks Alex, Josh & the Buyworthy fam!

We have fulfillment in the states!
.

Arrived late yesterday. Thanks for the empty tucks.

They came in today! Awesome...

Received mine today. I opened one of the Classic editions. Beautiful. The foil is gorgeous. Handling is a big deal to me and I have to say the Cartamundi B9 is fantastic. The extra boxes are a nice touch. Great job on what must have been a difficult process.

Thanks for confirmations, likes, reviews, and photos!

1. Just for fun - family portrait of some of my decks It's hard to take photos of the decks I don't own (last three). But it is even harder to take pictures of the foil. I am thinking of doing a photography contest where the prize is one of a kind deck modified just for you Any ideas are welcome.

2. I want to produce a red deck! But I already know that the red box I sent to Matt is one of a kind as the box design (and courts) should be updated anyway.

3. Luckily we have not seen the deck I sent to @Pipchick So potentially I want two decks



4.
A + B = 8
C + D = 8
F + G = 7

AB + CD = FG
17 + 26 = 43 where #17 and #26 are KS# of @rousselle and @Bradius (helped me with some ideas + backed all projects) One day, they will receive a special edition deck from me (any ideas are also welcome). I planned a custom No.7, but I am not sure now. I don't want to send a recolor, so please don't expect a deck asap. Hopefully, I'll do it this year.

Yes, please make the additional decks!!

Seconded!

Hi, all.

While it is very kind of you to say that you will eventually make a special deck for little ol' me, you can be certain I will not try to talk you out of it! When it comes to ideas, I know that you like to throw a ton of ideas at the board while you are brainstorming and creating. I am sure something will strike me while you do that for your next project, and I'll make a suggestion or two as you go, and I'm sure we'll find the perfect deck. No worries about having to wait... I'm more than happy to wait for exactly the right deck to come. And, THANK YOU!

That said, I just received the UC2019 decks today, and I waited until the kids were in bed to open them up, and OH MY FREAKING DOG THESE ARE AMAZING.

My first thought was:

These are classy as f***.

When I fanned the borderless green decks, I was all: And Katniss Everdeen thought *she* was on fire!

The tucks are superb. The courts pop like a Dom Perignon cork. The Classic is classy and the borderless are flashy. The foil brings out so. Damn. Much. of your amazing color work. And, even with this amazing foil, the cards fan silky smooth, and they smell like crayola heaven. Someone else mentioned these are great cardistry decks, and I have to agree. But, they are also perfectly, pleasantly playable.

These were so worth the wait.

Great job, Montenzi! These are instantly among my favorites!

I am patiently waiting as one of the 17 parcels that have yet to be delivered. I have seen lots of pictures and I am ready to drool over my own cards now! Hopefully I receive them this week (fingers crossed emoji)

Giving away all 3 decks - brand new - sealed here: https://www.instagram.com/magicorthodoxy/

Thanks MONTENZI for making the giveaway possible - you're so generous !!!
