SCG shipping?
Economics forum

I was wondering if anyone knows if StarCityGames does free shipping if your order hits a certain price mark. I haven't been able to find anything that says this on their site, but I thought someone that's bought from there might know if they do that or not.
I wasn't sure where to post this, so hopefully this forum is safe since that's probably where it would've been banished to anyways if I picked one it shouldn't be in lol
I think the shipping's free only if you pick the order up in-store.
I ordered an Underground Sea from them and the shipping was absolutely not free.

I think it's something they offer as a promotion. Currently they're introducing a new deal every day (M-F) that will last through the end of the month, so it may just not be something currently available (if it's something they ever offer).

Yeah I was looking to get some of the stuff on sale right now, but was hoping to be able to get free shipping with it, otherwise the like 10-15% I'm "saving" is just going to be negated by the shipping cost, and then I may as well just get it from tcgplayer instead lol... I'll probably just keep it to supplies, not cards, then which should still be a decent deal even with shipping. Thanks for the info

I've bought entire decks and only paid $3 shipping. How much are you buying?

right but that $3 makes a card that's on sale for like a dollar or two off of original price (which may put it below tcg prices, but not by much) no longer worth purchasing from scg. I guess if I had an order such that the total price below tcg price I was paying was more that $3 it would technically be worth it, but the cards I was looking at didn't fit that criterion
Or it makes the playmat that I thought I was going to pay $5 for cost over 8. Don't get me wrong it's still a good deal in that case, but it's not as good as originally thought

don't buy from them. I firmly believe they manipulate card prices.
www.cardkingdom.com buy here. great store and they have a great online store. do it

Their prices are much closer to tcg nowadays. But you can also order cards and pick up at events.
I also like the things like tokens they add in, and when buying a bunch of small stuff its soo much easoer than tcg where you cant buy a card for 99c even with 99c shipping bc its under $1. So for a bunch of small stuff scg is better

SCG is a bunch of greedy Jews. They wouldn't give up a cent for anything.
