Shipping Rates - August 2025
NEW CHANGES TO POSTAGE (2025):
USA SHIPPING:
- Orders to USA are now subject to TARIFFS - However, we pay these for you! This is due to the removal of the "de minimis" rule.
- This may mean orders take an extra few days to reach you due to customs inspections
- Did you receive a charge from us? Contact us at thecardinn@gmail.com to let us know
-
Kickstarter projects by The Card Inn - Kickstarter orders are fulfilled within the USA so no need to worry about tariffs, customs etc.
Typical Postage days: Mondays & Thursdays.
- For Monday postage please ensure you place your order by Sunday evening.
- For Thursday postage please ensure you place your order by Wednesday evening.
Packing and taking your orders to the post office (despatching) takes 1-3 business days. Then, depending on whether you chose 1st or 2nd class mail, it will take 1-3 business days to receive your mail.
NEW: "7 days delivery" - A feature to help us stock even more playing cards
- This is a new feature in our store. We stock hundreds of products, but within our industry there are thousands. It is not possible for us to stock all these items at once physically within our small workspace.
- Therefore, "allow 7 days delivery" is added to the end of various product titles as mini pre-orders.
- These are items we can get a hold of very quickly, and should you order them, we will order them in from the USA and get them out to you within 7 days. (Approximately, although this could be a few days less or a few days more - e.g items sometimes get stuck in customs).
- This allows us to extend our product range from just a couple hundred decks to over 500 unique deck of playing cards, and this can extend further in the future.
- This does not apply to all products, just products that say '7 days delivery' in the title. All other products without this tag should be available for immediate shipment.
PRE-ORDERS: Various products in store will have 'PRE-ORDER' in the product title. This means they will take a few extra weeks to ship. This timeline might be noted in the product title or description, but feel free to contact us at thecardinn@gmail.com to get an order update.
