Hey all,

Just came across the following: http://www.jitsbits.com/category/Entert ... rds,i.html , and have placed an inital small order, to see what this Company's like to use.

They seem 100% legit, and have an eBay shop (though not with Bike's at that price!!), proper VAT reg etc., etc.

Will let you know as and when my cards arrive, but - if this is on the level - this price seems pretty damn amazing, no?

(and, no - I have no affilliation with them )

Delivery Charges
Orders under £9.95 delivered by Royal Mail- £1.95

All other orders delivered by DHL

Mainland UK - £4.95

Non Mainland UK - £9.95

Ireland - £12.95

------------------

Looks like ordering less than a tenners worth is the most cost efficient way to go about it

The shipping costs seem a little silly. If you bought up to 7 decks, you'd only have to pay 1.95 postage. So if you bought two lots of 7 decks, it would be 3.90 postage instead of the 4.95 if you bought them all together.

So working on if you bought 7 decks for the cheaper postage, it works out to be roughly 1.52 per deck. Which I sitll don't think is too bad. If you were buying 20+ decks, the price per deck would start dropping.

I wonder if they got their pricing wrong, as they sell two decks for 4.50 on their ebay shop, which is 2.25 each. But then again, you get free postage on the ebay one, which would kind of equal out if bought from the site.
I should stop rambling now.

Just resurrecting this old thread, as the company concerned is still going, and still offering Bikes at a really good price - they're now at www.magar.co.uk and are offering a dozen decks of bicycle cards at £19.95. Probably the cheapest on the net!

For October you can use code HALLOWEEN at check out to get £5 off £50 spend.

Rob,

Are these standards or rider backs?

Sorry Aaron - should've mentioned; they're standards.

What's the difference? Genuine question.

Sov,

This isn't me being sarcastic i promise, but the standard boxes say standard on them with some blurb on the back, the rider back boxes say rider back on them and have the back design of the cards printed on the rear of the box.

The actual cards themselves are exactly the same and personally i use a mixture of Rider Backs and Standards, the vast majority of gimmicks are produced in Rider Back format, but you could always buy some spare rider back boxes and dump the standard cards into a rider back box, if you're really worried, i'll be honest though, not many laymen give a monkeys about the card box....just little old OCD me!

Much love

I asked because I couldn't find any other than "standard" on the bicycle web site any more and they were described as "rider back" there. My Trilby deck is in "standard" boxes so I did wonder.

Yeah Bikes rider backs are now shipped in Standard boxes, but as far as i know the magic shops/dealers still have the "rider back" boxes and nothing has changed for them, it's a bit of a grey area...

Much love
