Shipping
Cards, collectibles and pre-owned pieces ship the same day you order, with tracking.
Forge Originals are made to order and usually ship in 3 to 5 business days. Each product page has its exact timeline.
Gaming gear ships from a US warehouse on the timeline shown on its product page. Anything marked Coming soon can't be ordered yet.
Card orders ship in one of four tiers, each one price anywhere in the US, shown in your cart before you pay (below). Other pieces are charged at cost, worked out from your ZIP code. Everything we ship ourselves leaves Garden Grove, CA by USPS; several cards in one order share one package. Gaming gear is charged the warehouse's own freight to your ZIP, and some of it carries no separate shipping charge because delivery is already in its price.
Big or fragile pieces are double-boxed and padded. Their shipping is priced on the packed box, and the boxes and padding appear as a separate Packing and handling line. We ship to US addresses only.
Every card ships in a penny sleeve and a toploader, at the least. Card orders pick one of four shipping tiers in the cart:
- Economy, 3 to 7 business days ($2.49 for one card). Sleeve, toploader and team bag in a rigid card mailer, sent as a stamped letter. No tracking, so a lost letter can't be replaced. Card singles only, up to 2 cards, orders under $20.
- Standard, 2 to 5 business days ($9.49 to $9.99 by zone for one card). Sleeve, toploader and team bag in a rigid card mailer. USPS Ground Advantage with tracking. Covered to $100; orders over $100 insured in full.
- Priority, 1 to 3 business days ($12.99 for one card). Sleeve, toploader and team bag in a rigid card mailer, inside a USPS Priority Mail envelope. Tracked and insured for the full order value. Signature on delivery for orders over $250.
- Collector, 1 to 3 business days ($19.98 for one card). Every card in our Collector Case (a perfect-fit sleeve inside a UV magnetic one-touch, yours to keep), shipped Priority. Tracked, insured, signature over $250. Priority shipping plus $6.99 a case.
Economy shipping is on us for orders of $10 and up. Economy has no tracking, and we can't replace a letter that's lost.
Economy, Priority and Collector are one price wherever you are in the US; Standard costs a little more to the farthest states (shipping zones 7 to 9 from California). We ship within 1 business day. Orders of $100 and up are insured for their full value on every tracked tier, Priority and Collector orders over $250 need a signature, and every order of $750 and up does.
Every card ships protected at no extra charge (a sleeve and a toploader on tracked and envelope orders). For $6.99 a card you can choose a collector case in your cart instead: the card in a perfect-fit sleeve inside a UV magnetic holder. The case is too thick for an envelope, so an order with one ships tracked. It's listed on your receipt as its own line, and if a cased card comes back as not as described, its case is refunded with it.
When an order comes to $100 or more, everything we ship ourselves is insured for its full value (USPS insures up to $5,000 a package) and ships with a numbered tamper seal. At $750 or more it also needs a signature on delivery, and we check the order by hand before it ships. The insurance and signature are part of the shipping price you see in your cart.
We ship only to the address you confirmed at checkout, and we can't change it after you pay. If it's wrong, tell us before it ships and we'll cancel the order and refund you in full, so you can order again with the right address.
If your order is going to be late, we'll tell you, and you can choose to wait or cancel for a full refund.
