Hi everyone, first let me just say that this is an awesom forum, and I have learnt alot from all you wise people out there!
Now, I just want to whine about Amazon's ridiculous shipping rates!
Ive been looking at the Legend:Arthurian Tarot deck, totally stunned by how beautiful it is, and I finally convinced myself to buy it.
So next i follow Aecletic's link to Amazon, hmm..... $24.95, a great price.... then i register and check out the shipping prices to Australia.
Can you believe its $13.00 for standard surface postage!! Thats about $25 AUD !!
ack. for another $3 AUD i can get the Rider Waite deck from my nearby Dymocks store, so needless to say, its out of my poor student price range :-[
Anyways, what I really wanted to know is whether anyone who lives in Australia can recommend an Australian online tarot store that stocks the Legend:Arthurian Tarot deck. cos I live in a ghost town called Perth(pathetic excuse for a capital) that just spawns hundreds of Mormons and HareKrishnas but not any decent tarot store that stocks more than your average RiderWaite deck.
Any help will be appreciated... and thanks for reading my first post !!!

Hi Icestorm,
I once ordered a deck online from the Mindbodyspirit Internet Bookshop in Brisbane and their shipping costs to the Netherlands were very reasonable, so I should think they would be ok within Australia.
I did a search and they seem to have the Legend Arthurian deck as well. So maybe you could try them.

Hi Icestorm,
You could try www.adyar.com.au they are based in Sydney and their postage is reasonable, about $9 for 2 - 4 books. They stock quite a large number of tarot decks and books too. Also, some of the larger book chains like Dymocks or QBD can order in a limited variety of tarot cards, try checking their websites, or just visit your local store.
And don't forget ebay.com.au! Most sellers will ship for about $6 -7 :)
Cheers
Kath

Thx to both tarotlady and Kath!
MindspiritBody indeed had the Arthurian tarot but their price was a bit dear.
Adyar was great however, Ive ordered the deck from them!
