No reason why you can't buy from there, the checkout feature permits UK billing and delivery addresses and as payment is via PayPal you won't have any problems with some UK credit cards being used on US sites. The only queries left are the cost of postage/carriage and whether you can get the same items from a UK supplier at a better overall cost and without the possibility of Import Duty and VAT being applied.

I have ordered from there plenty of times, you may have to wait a week or so but you needn’t worry.
Mandrake is right in that the postage is quite expensive however if you wanted the signed decks they are rarely available elsewhere, I have seen them on Ebay but at extortionate prices also the edition you are after with the 8 / Ace Heart gaff is only available from DB’s site

Only problem I have is that the gaff cards will last longer then any split spades decks I have, the gaff only comes in blue so unless you have a large supply of blue split spades (which I don’t) you’ll wish you had it in Bicycle stock

No, 2 blue gaffs

all you get in red are 2 double backers

and any split spades on ebay are not worth the money they charge

I like the split spades so I have bought some in the past but only if I think the price is fair

I have paid over the odds for signed decks to add my collection but they will never be used

I can’t justify spending around £10 for a deck of cards when you can buy 12 packs of Bikes for £20

Split Spades are nice but once the print was discontinued ebay sellers took the p*ss like they do with a lot of things

I saw 2 packs one red, one blue going for around £60.00 - stupid


can't give you the exact cost because the site is down

but you are looking at around £25.00 for the collectors edition on DB's site

Yes all blue, 2 double backers, 2 Ace / 8 hearts, a 5 of Diamonds with missing central pip and a mis indexed 7 of Spades

the only red gaffs are 2 red double backers

and £25 is the total cost ($35 = £21.77) including shipping

Yes

billing address has to match the address registered on your bank / credit card or PayPal account

shopping address is where you want it sent
