Has anyone bought decks from Gambler's Warehouse (http://www.playingcards.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) lately?
I was putting some things in my cart, but it looks like their domestic (to Oregon) shipping costs are really really high now:

1 - 7.65
2 - 7.65
3 - 12.13
4 - 12.13
5 - 12.13
6 - 15.07

It would be cheaper for me to buy some of the decks from their eBay store with "free shipping" instead of buying directly from them
Seems odd since I would have thought that with eBay and PayPal fees they would be making less

You think that's bad, you should see the international costs. It's usually like $9 shipping per deck!

If you get a deck or two from them, post the pics. Would love to know what they use as packaging.

We are kind of restricted with shipping options on our current shopping cart

As soon as the holidays are over we are going to be moving to a new system and that will hopefully clear this issue up.

Amen to this! I used to buy from them all the time, but their shipping costs have just made it so prohibitive! I've had the shipping costs run $11.40 for two decks! That sort of negates any deal you might be getting.

Actually, I just checked. It looks like GW has finally gotten the message. Two decks was now only about $4.15, and four decks is $8.80. But I still had another 2 decks have a minimum $8 shipping charge.

But still guys, 4 decks can easily be shipped by Flat Rate Priority Mail - $5.00 shipping with all the free boxes you can shake a stick at. So you're still overcharging for shipping. I used to order from them all the time, but don't remember the last time I did because these costs are way too high. 3 Decks can go First Class for no more than $4, and Priority Mail Flat Rate can ship up the 8 decks for $5.25. The most you should ever be charging is $11 for a Flat Rate Medium Box, which could probably hold like 25 decks.
