Our warehouse processes orders faster than anyone - always shipping within 24 hours and often less than that. JDEN, while your point about expensive shipping remains true for Australia, the fact remains that - simply put - it's expensive to ship to Australia. Our rates are extremely competitive - and our costs per deck are less than HALF of what some other sites charge for decks of equal or inferior quality. For a case study and apples-to-apples example of this, see my previous post
here.
We recently lowered all of our shipping costs, so I would encourage all of you to take another look if you haven't in a few weeks. I can say with excitement that our holiday shipping discounts have been made PERMANENT - so our rates across the board have been greatly discounted for both domestic (USA) and international members.
