Hey, where do you guys purchase cards from?
I hate paying exorbitant shipping fees on playing card orders. More often than not, shipping will cost more than all the decks I want to order. Are there any other alternatives, that offer the best price in your experience? |

I second that.
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

When I was in Canada last Walmart stocks both Bicycle and Bee card,Shoppers Drug mart and Canadian Tire stock Bikes but if your buying bulk I guess Costco is the only option

The Dollarama store has cheap decks for a dollar that look like Bees.
I use these for practicing tricks that destroy cards such as the MCF. |

On a recent trip to Canada the Walmart near the hotel I was staying at had an extensive selection of Bicycle and Bee cards.

The Costco membership is 55 bucks. The mixed nine-packs of Bikes is 12 bucks each. If you buy a membership and four 9-packs (36 decks), you are getting 3 bricks for a cost of $2.86 a deck. You are already saving money.
I like Tallys and just got the equivalent of a brick of those and a brick of Bikes from Merz67 in Ohio through that auction site. There prices are good and their shipping isn't bad if you stock up. Customs doesn't molest the packages. For these two bricks I paid C$80--remember that's no tax. That's an average of $3.33 a deck inclusive, the equivalent of $2.95 + HST. That isn't bad considering half of them are Tallys, which are more pricey. Good seller. Check them out. Les |

If you want the blues, the two-packs of red + blue are 7 bucks. As much as I hate Costco with a passion (though not as much as Walmart), I have to say that getting the membership and buying in bulk or often is still the cheapest, especially if you only want red and blue and want to get the best possible price without hunting for deals online.

As with everyone else, Costco rules for Bikes. But if you are looking for different cards, you can order a whole bunch of premium decks from F.G. Bradley's here http://www.fgbradleys.com/. This way at least you can avoid import charges.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. But not nearly so dangerous as no knowledge at all.

Out of interest, which online magic store do you usually prefer to use?
Is there one you prefer to order from inside of Canada? It seems most people side with penguin magic, but with the exchange rate and shipping charges it can get a little expensive. |
