-
How can I check the card size before ordering?
I'd compare this deck's listed measurements with a deck you already own. Tarot and oracle decks don't all come in the same size, so use the dimensions on this item rather than another listing.
-
Are the card count, language and guidebook the same for every deck?
They can differ from deck to deck. Check this item's card count and included pieces, and please ask me if you need a particular language or guidebook detail confirmed.
-
What should I check if I want to carry the deck?
I'd start with this deck's box size and closure. If it needs to fit a particular bag or sleeves, tell me the measurements so we can check the detail that matters to you.
Delivery & returns
-
How long does delivery take? I need it before a specific date and I'd rather know now than after paying.
We ship from China, usually within 3–5 business days of payment. Delivery then usually takes another 7–14 business days. If this is for a birthday or another fixed date, tell us the date first—we can help you judge the timing, but I wouldn't promise a guaranteed arrival day.
-
Is shipping included, or is it added at checkout? The two prices I'm seeing don't match.
Standard shipping is USD 7 below USD 99, and free from USD 99. Those amounts are in US dollars; checkout shows the final charge and whether we can ship to your address.
-
What happens if it arrives and it's not what I expected? I don't want to be stuck with it.
You can ask for a return within 14 days of receiving a physical item, even if you've opened the packaging. For an ordinary return, you cover the return postage. If it arrived faulty, damaged or incorrect, please let us know—that's a different situation. Email thefool@worldofthefool.com with your order number before sending anything back. The full policy explains the conditions and your statutory rights.
-
My order arrived with a damaged item. Do I send it back first?
Please email thefool@worldofthefool.com with your order number and a few details or photos. Don't send it back just yet—we'll review what happened and work out the right remedy, which may be a refund, replacement or reshipment.
