Thank you

ETA: That is gorgeous! I think this is going to be my next deck..

How long will pre-order be available? I probably will not be able to get it until Nov.

Yep, MoonGypsy, they sure do have their hands full and I am not worried - will just be a nice surprise, whenever it arrives!

I think I might have to get this deck too.

Pre-orders will finish very soon. We haven't agreed a date yet, but as we are now shipping the first batch, I think pre-orders will end in a week or so.

How can I know if my order has been shipped? I ordered with a different email address so it is not associated with my baba store account.

When your order has been shipped, we will send you notification and a tracking number. Because we are having to check all decks, please appreciate that notifications will not go out as fast as usual and maybe won't be sent for 2-3 working days after the parcel has actually shipped.

If you were in the first 250 orders - i.e. you ordered on the 16th July - your order should go out next week, or may already have gone out. If you ordered later, then your order will ship from the beginning of November as planned. But we are likely to take at least two weeks (that is, until mid-November at least) to get them all shipped.

Hope that helps!

Thank you Karen for this update. Yes I did order on the 16th of July. Sorry for being a bit impatient

[Chiska]

How exciting! Thank you for the update Karen.

Well the intercom sounded this morning and I kindly asked the postman to leave the packet on the stairs as I was still in my pyjamas. Actually I was expecting another deck to arrive and it did but when I also saw the big white envelope I immediately knew that it had to be from Prague. LOL

I opened the package in a slightly panicky way as I though to myself 'if it has arrived so soon it must not have been checked for the faults that Karen mentioned about'. However, to my relief the decks were not wrapped in cellophane so I knew that they were checked.

I checked all the 3 bundles and they are perfect (although there is a very tiny tiny tiny thing that I am not even going to mention as it doesn't bother me and you can not really notice that only if you look very closely at the cards) at least they are for me. I also ordered the book and the Ace of Cups bag which is absolutely beautiful. I haven't had time to look through the book as I just received it but I will do that as soon as I can. I think Karen and Alex really hit the nail on the head with the gilded edges and the mini version (which is also signed by Karen and Alex) of the deck. The colours on each card are really vivid and bold and they are so beautiful that when I looked at the cards I thought I was looking at real paintings. The card stock is the same as that of the BBC3 and the back of the cards are really beautiful especially the mini version where the contrast between the gold and the blue really beautifully stands out. The extra cards are also really beautiful although I never used the Fortune Teller cards in my readings but they still give the final product a very nice touch or finish. As these are my very first VRT decks (sadly I missed all the other versions) I can not compare them to other editions but these are certainly worth the wait.

Congratulations Tibor! From what you said about the mini, I am glad to have ordered the bundle.
