Why did you think so? Shipping was always a separate thing from obvious reasons (prices vary hugely for different audiences).

I could have sworn that I saw a screenshot somewhere about shipping being included. Maybe I'm wrong but either way these are not worth it IMO if I have to add $6.19 every month for shipping. Doing the math I would be spending $38.38 for two decks. No thanks.

Well, this won't happen. Shipping isn't really included in the package price but it's aggregated according to number of decks. So, for example, I've ordered "one of each shorts" for $83, the system added $24 for shipping. After that, I've added one standard Bicycle and one standard Table Player's deck a there was no additional shipping added.

Shipping is aggregated for sure, unfortunatley with international shipping there is just a price window (based on weight) that it cost the same to ship 2-7 decks and the same to ship 8-11 decks. International shipping prices are not as incremental as with domestic US shipping.

If you don't like the bite of shipping (which sucks for sure) I'd encourage you to take advantage of our delayed shipping program. It makes shipping free, and we hold your decks. At the end of each quarter we pack you accumulated decks up and get the shipping for that one, larger package and then send you a paypal invoice for the shipping. Once the invoice is paid we then ship it out.

All you have to do to be enrolled in the delayed shipping program is type in

Yep, it bites indeed. But not so much as additional VAT + duty. I've initially wanted to grab "one of everything" but I've decided to stay low, because if my monthly package is below about $150 with shipping, I pay only VAT. When it's above I also pay the duty and alltogether it's above my comfort zone.

In the end, I think I'll end up with the Shorts setup I've used during 2019 (2 STD + 1 LTD + 1 GLD) + 1 STD Bicycle + 1 STD Table Player's.

For some reason I thought this was only for international subscribers. Jeez, I should really stop assuming! Thanks, JR- that works for me. I'm in no rush to receive the decks, as long as I get them.

It was originaly only for international subscribers, but a few months ago we opened it up to anybody that wanted it.

Well it works for me. Hell, I don't care if I ever get the decks lol I'll hit you up in like 5 years to ship them

I ended up getting the subscription to everything and then added a second standard deck for each of the three themes.

Is there any way to have my Shorts subscription ship monthly, but have a STD Table Players and Bicycle subscription put on delayed shipping? I really appreciate having the delayed shipping program, but don't want to seem like I'm abusing it. It's just easier for me to buy decks when they're on sale or when limited stuff shows up if I can just add it to a delayed shipping bin with my name on it and having it all shipped together under a combined shipping rate at the end of the year/quarter. Just wondering if inventory space would ever become an issue.

So I recently signed up for the Bicycle and Player's subscriptions but when i try to access the 'Members Only' area it tells me I don't have access. I'm assuming that's because these 2 subs. haven't "gone live" yet but I was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else?

Sorry, I'm new to this JR subscription thing and while it's not as confusing as an Alex Chin release it still has me a bit perplexed.

Can you opt out at any time?

Did anybody that resubscribed managed to successfully use the code for delayed shipping when making the resubscription order?
I want to try out this method for shipping, but it doesn't allow me to apply the code at the end of the order.

It did not work for me either.

I had no problems. Put it in the coupon code area and it went through without charging me S&H.

Worked for me

Some sneak peek renders from Jackson (posted on his instagram) regarding the upcoming KWP Bikes.







The first deck will be a must for me. It'll look good next to the OG KWP Tally-Ho but designwise... Ace of Spades is beautiful, but since I don't like the Americana deck, back and tuck are meh for me.

I'll be cutting back on KWP this year unless some things change. Too many tuck swaps and slight variants and gilded and on and on. Great designs for the most part but concerned that it's just all getting to be a bit much.

I have my shorts sub and a couple table players but that is it for now.

Will be interesting to see if he modifies the courts and everything for the KWP Bikes or if he goes with his standard courts (or a variant thereof) and only changes the back design and the tuck. The description says that the AoS is for his upcoming Bicycle deckS. So it reads like no variation at all there. We'll see.

Based on what I recall from JR's IG live sessions, for the Short subs, fully custom courts will be alternate months. Bicycle subs will be similar to his earlier Tally Ho designs where it'll be standard KWP courts but with more fanciful backs and recolours. Based on the images Table players 2020 are more his take on Cigarette box designs.

So don't expect too much customization for the Bikes and table players. They'll be great for Tuckists though.

I mean they are aimed for gameplay, sort of, so I didn't really expect anything but that.
