GB Completed Nintendo 100% Plastic Playing Cards (Bridge Size - Standard Index) (4 Viewers)

[Geremie]

I hate my life right now...........so one of the three shipments had some sort of "error" and Amazon Japan is cancelling it.

To be honest, I hope the other two shipments are cancelled as well otherwise I'll have odd decks.....

I'll start the refund process once the status of other two shipments are determined.

To think Nintendo started as a playing card company.... they are clearly forgetting their base

They also ran sex hotels. I wonder if they've abandoned that base as well.

Don’t sweat it - appreciate the attempts

All good. It is what it is.

breaking from their base really has changed them as a company..... if only they didn't invent the plumber.....one could only imagine what Nintendo would be "known" for today

Thank you for trying!

Just got notice that one package landed in Ontario and is scheduled for Dec 6 delivery….ugghhh this is messy…

The third package is awaiting clearance to leave Japan.

I’ll account for the decks that arrive and see where things are at. I could ship out what’s received, reorder the decks that didn’t come, or request a complete refund and send everything back.

Either way I’m going to blast Amazon Japan for cancelling one of the three boxes

Sorry for the headaches this is causing you!

I don't know if it will help or not, but if it helps you can refund me and I won't be upset in the least. When I saw this, I figured what the hell why not ..... This isn't something I was desperate for. If someone else wants it that's cool.

I echo these sentiments exactly.

I said it before, whatever is easiest for you works for me.

 

[djfayze]

If I can still get a setup of A I’ll take them, but if it’s a headache you can refund and I’ll order em myself, no worries.

 

[satisfyingbutton]

Similarly, I'd be fine with even a single deck - it's more for fun than anything (as I guess all this stuff is!). If it's easier to refund, that's fine too. No hard feelings; in fact, I appreciate all that you've done so far!

Thanks!

I mean if anyone wants to visit, doors always open

 

[CrazyEddie]

Echoing what the others have said. Would love to get at least one deck, but won't complain if that doesn't work out for whatever reason. Please do whatever makes things easiest on the organizer - i.e. you!

Looks like box 1 of 3 is arriving today and box 2 of 3 is set to arrive later this week.

I have called DHL / Amazon JP multiple times to get to the bottom of why box 3 was cancelled. Apparently, DHL marked box 3 as regulated items (even though they were the EXACT same contents in boxes 1 and 2). Their escalations team will respond in 24-48 hours on what happened and what options are available.

I have highlighted the decks at risk based on time of order (red = no set-up, orange = 1/2 set-up). Hoping to get replacements so everyone is covered. Also, if replacements are received, I have noted the refunds that are owed to everyone. I'll adjust the totals if no replacements are received.

I'll keep the communication lines open and update status as soon as I know.

 

[Geremie]

Box 1 arrived. 20 of the red A decks

 

[satisfyingbutton]

Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

 

[djfayze]

Can’t wait to get my setup!

DHL noted that playing cards are a restricted item to import to Canada. I personally think that’s a bunch of shit and asked for authoritative reference material where that’s the case. They haven’t provided yet.

Apparently the other two shipments (along with me previously importing close to 400 Angel Casino decks) happened to “slip through the cracks”.

I think DHL just wants me to be like “ok, thanks for the info and go away”.

Any Canadians have any issues ordering cards and importing into Canada?

@T_Chan might know something.

I have been following all of the crazy new laws recently in Canada with great contempt. A ban on playing card imports has not come across in anything that I have read before. DHL is a pretty bogus company to have to deal with.

 

[Carnth]

DHL has been known to give people the brush-off as often as they can.

 

[T_Chan]

I received a big shipment of cards from Desjgn last month without any problems.

 

[LeLe]

Waiting for feedback about the card quality; always interested in buying the mario theme Nintendo card but unsure about the quality.

 

[Geremie]

There was a delay with the second box but seems to be on its way now. Hopefully it will come today/tomorrow.

 

[Geremie]

Expected delivery date for box 2 is tomorrow!

Given the promise of the second box, I have reordered the items in the third box which was cancelled (hoping for better luck this time). Also, there were some "C" setups available so I included them in the order. The expected arrival date for the final box is Dec 22nd.

Below is the final count. Items highlighted in yellow are in the re-ordered box. Items highlights in red were unfortunately unavailable.

Also, I need addresses from @Pinesol13 @pokerplayingpisces @Psypher1000 @timinater

The total charge converted from Yen on my US-based credit card was US$673.02 or US$20.09/setup ($673.02 / 33.5 setups).

I'll figure out reshipping once I can most of the setups repackaged. I'll also send out refunds at that time as well for those who didn't get their full order because of limited quantities.

 

[Geremie]

Box 3 landed in Canada! Should come early this week since customs clearing is complete.

DHL/Amazon JP are ridiculous for cancelling the original box....never got an answer as to what happened or why. Restricted items my a$$!

 

[Geremie]

Who knew that DHL delivered on a Sunday. Everything is accounted for and packed up for reshipping. Printing labels now!
