Wondering about custom playing card turnaround time? Designing your cards is fast and easy, taking just 5 minutes, but the production will, of course, take longer. You can expect your cards to ship within 4-5 days for smaller orders. This lead time is shorter than the industry average (source). Larger orders will take longer, and you can reach out to us at [email protected], so we can discuss timelines for your order. Not sure how many decks to order? We have no minimum order quantity.
Custom playing card turnaround time: shipping
The final delivery of the cards is based on a few factors. We’re based in Mississauga, Ontario, so your distance from us affects both shipping time and cost. Customers on the west coast, for example, will pay more or wait longer than those in Toronto. We ship internationally, though customs may add to your shipping time, and duties or tariffs may apply.
Shipping is further determined by your choice of shipping method. There are faster, more expensive options, and there are cheaper, slower options. Faster options can deliver your cards in one or two days. Slower options, like Canada Post letter mail, can take a week or more.
Faster Couriers
- Purolator
- FedEx
- UPS
You’ll see shipment prices at checkout, calculated by distance, shipping speed, and order weight. With production time of about 5 days and courier shipping of 2 or so days, you can expect an order to take about 7 business days.
Planning for your order
Planning custom playing cards for a wedding, corporate event, trade show, or holiday? Order at least a couple of weeks in advance, and earlier still for large orders or busy seasons. For example, we would need far more time to complete a 10,000-deck order than we would for a 100-deck order. Reach out to us directly to create a proper timeline. We can accommodate rush orders if needed.
What happens after you place an order?
After you place your order, we get to working on it as soon as possible. We’ll send confirmation and updates to your email. If you have concerns or haven’t received expected email updates, contact us at [email protected] or 905-362-4824.
Packaging for your custom playing cards
Orders fewer than 5 decks are often sent in bubble-lined paper mailers. For larger orders of around 150 or more will be sent in sealed, double-thick carboard boxes. Anything in between will be sent in a sealed cardboard box. We pack your cards this way to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
