If you would like to have your items delivered via postage, here's a good breakdown on how we calculate our shipping charges. Here at decksquare, we don't profit from postage so what the post office charges us = what you will be paying. Period.
To start with, most of our playing cards weigh approximately 120grams - 160grams, depending on the material / stock used on the different cards. Now, using the weight as a rough guide, customers can refer to the table as below (www.singpost.com.sg) to find out the respective postage charges.

Assuming Customer A would like to purchase 2 decks (each weigh approximately 130 grams) and hopes to have it delivered via Non-Standard Mail to his residential address. The 2 decks at a total of 260 grams will cost Customer A an additional $1 in postage charges. Normally, for such a case, the customer can choose to:1) add 1 more deck, making it around 400 grams total and still within the $1 postage charge category thus save on the shipping OR
2) proceed with the intended order
Based on our experience, we reckon that postage is the best method of delivery for customers who are buying in small quantities (around 1-3 decks) simply because of 2 reasons. First, postage only costs an additional $1 which in most case is even cheaper than taking a train ride to meet up and second, it's perfectly ideal for individuals who are too busy to deal in person.
If you want to have an absolute peace of mind, consider taking up the Registered Mail option which only costs an additional $2.24, on top of the Non-Standard Mail charges and the purchased items. Unlike Non-Standard Mails, Registered articles will be sent directly to your doorstep and will require the receipient to acknowledge and sign upon delivery.
All purchases sent via postage will be carefully packaged with high quality bubble wraps and wrapping paper to protect the edges of the decks. This is to ensure that our customers can always receive their items in perfect condition! Note that the weight of the packaging materials are to be considered as part of the entire package as well.
Last but not least, if you want to be sure of the postage charges, just drop us an email and we will advise accordingly.
Don't get ripped off by vendors who charge sky-high on postage fees!
Disclaimer: All figures used are estimates and should only be served as a reference. Check with us on the exact postage charges and we will be more than happy to advise. Despite our best efforts to package the items, we will not be held responsible for any damages incurred on the products due to mishandling of the package. Additionally, we will not be held responsible for any loss of non-standard mail under any circumstances. All we can say is, we have no complains so far from customers who purchased and received the items via postage.
