Mana Deck

[Jin Jian]

I'm not really looking to sell. More just for trade. I've never done any trades but I think it'd be more fun than just selling them. I'm in no rush though

same here .. i suppose that most of the people here are from other country like usa .. and i live in singapore so if we will to trade kind of kill the idea as the shipping price will be high i guess

I've done trades with a few people here.  Kanped, Lalita, Josh.  It's fun.  I highly recommend it.  I have trades in progress with Lalita and Siote.

Does anyone know when they will be shipped?
This question is asked on their Facebook fanpage but no reply from Mana Cards so far.
Maybe anyone of you got some inside infos`?

I'm just about to place my order. In total it will be $170 for 13 decks. I wad originally only gonna get 7, but due to shipping, it isn't that much more expensive with discounts and shipping so I decided to get 13, which totals to about $13 a deck, which really isn't bad if you think about it.

Plus I am getting three signed decks, and I got inspiration from (I believe it was Digipunk, but for the life of me, I can't find where it was said, so correct me if I'm wrong), and I asked him to get one of the decks and sign the box, date the bottom, sign the jokers, the AOS, the ad cards, and the gaff cards. Now I usually wouldn't ask for this much, but when I'm paying this much for shipping, I believe this would make it more worth my while in my opinion.

How are you buying them now if they are sold out?

Dang! That's pretty sweet. Are you planning on selling/trading any of them? I know that I might trade a few of the decks I got. I didn't even think about getting anything signed haha. I've never had that done.

@MA - He probably was paying the invoice or they saved his order. They offered to do that for me.

I'm sure if you contact them now since I don't believe they have shipped orders yet, I'm betting you could get them to sign a deck.

Also, I plan on selling and trading in the future, but the main reason I buy so many is because if I end up loving the deck, I will have a lot, so if I destroy them in use I will have extras, but if I were to say buy only one (not to mention that it would be a $40 deck), and if I destroyed it I'd be outta luck, and be forced to buy the reseller price of $25+ a deck.

How are you buying them now if they are sold out?

Precisely what Mr. Baggs said. I have been constantly emailing them do they know I'm still interested, and they are still holding the decks for me.

That's a brilliant idea!! I'll definitely do that! Thanks for the advise. I completely understand what you mean. When I really like a deck I'll usually buy 13 of them. 1 to open and a brick to have as back up (or 7, 1 to open and half a brick as back up). I've only done that with a select few decks though. haha

That was last week when they updated it.

Sorry bud

I read a few pages back on the thread and I didn't see it

Hey CBJ there's no need for sorry!

Just confirmed my purchase

I asked for one of the decks to have the jokers, ad card, gaff cards AOS, King of Spades, and Nine of Diamonds signed! I know that is a ton of signatures for one deck, but I'm planning on getting a custom frame, and matting the cards together in a nice display! I think it will look pretty cool, and I told that to Erik so he didn't think I was insane asking for SO many signatures.

SAME! I asked erik to sign the AOS, jokers and ad card.

[jhayel84]

"SAME!  I asked erik to sign the AOS, jokers and ad card."

Has he replied to you about your request?

I have sent him an email which is the same as the above but I have not received a response. Its been many days already and still no reply from him.

I know he is busy but there is just no excuse on not having a prompt communication with his customers! grrrrr

[cosmicsecret]

Facebook status updates :

Our stock has finally been released and we're ready to ship. All customers will be notified once their order has been shipped out.

and
from yesterday 

To all our pre-order customers:
Target shipping date is Monday March 19.
If there is a tracking number given to us, we will email it to you. However, we cannot guarantee that these tracking numbers will work in certain countries.

[jhayel84]

I am already aware of these facebook updates but thanks anyway.

My only gripe is that he has not replied to my emails even just to confirm that he received my request. Compared to kickstarter deck creators they respond to you within 1-3 days which I find great!  Having a business should also come with good customer service skills.

I doubt he would answer you, he never did answer me cause i send a request through the sales department when the pre-order first started. The guys over at the mana playing cards sales department said they will forward the request to Erik mana.

[Don Boyer]

I think I mentioned this in another topic, but I received an email from Mana a few days ago via PayPal - I was issued a partial refund on the shipping costs.  I guess they found a better way to ship.  I hadn't even asked for a break, so I'm assuming this is for all customers and not just the ones who spoke up.

[Paul Carpenter]

Yeah they readjusted my first invoice and reduced the shipping down. Still seems pricey compared to want it costs to send a couple decks from the US but since one of my decks was a contest win it came out very reasonably.

[cosmicsecret]

haven't received any refunds.....better luck next time i guess! hehe
Maybe this applies only for the US orders?

[Wilko]

No partial refunds for me, yet! My decks are shipping to the UK.
I'd settle for a shipping date though.

[Paul Carpenter]

I should clarify that they sent a first invoice but had it wrong (charged me for 2 decks instead of 1), so i told them that and then they fixed it and reduced shipping slightly.

[danktrees]

i didnt get any refund. but im getting them shipped to canada if that makes any difference.
