Desperately seeking...(X tarot deck). Can you help with any info?

[gregory]

If it can be bought in a physical store in Moscow, I MAY have found a way.... Emailing.....

 

But if (BIG if) it pans out it will be months away, so hold not the breath (if you both drop dead in the meantime, I can easily find buyers, I think !)

And I am NOT begging for anything else, so don't all start a shopping list. This would be totally a one off.

Also I gather postage from Russia is very very risky at the moment, so probably just as well that our orders failed...

Oh! Bump! Maybe some chinese website may carry it? I never used any.

I am patient and appreciate the opportunity should it present itself, @gregory and @rylla. I remain ever hopeful somehow it all works out.

I've used lots and never seen it there. But kniga published this one themselves, so I suspect not.

I guess irzhitarot is Russian too. They used to have the set and don't have now but if it's Russian site it does not matter anyway...I need a Russian friend quickly 🙂 I don't know anyone. Not Russian not Chinese...(I have a Somalian friend but that doesn't help either...)

[gregory]

I know someone who is going there on business... I am hoping...

Now I must actually OPEN it !

What an amazing message to receive! Woohoo! Thank you, @gregory! I can hardly believe it. I’ve been trying for almost a year now to get this deck. I am happy to wait and can finally close those pages on my browser taunting me. 😂Thank you for your efforts! 😊❤️
 

Please share your thoughts on the deck once you open it. I’d love to hear.

Little bit of topic, as I am not asking about a deck but trying to give a warning.

 

It's about the Alvdansen tarot, AI deck, which I ordered from the alvdansen website in April. It cost me $100 shipping included. I haven't got the deck. My order is # 25 and  as soon as my order was shipped I was supposed to get a notification. Never did. Tried to contact them at info@alvdansen.com but never got an answer back. I contacted Araminta and Timothy Bielec on youtube somehow, she wrote me back on youtube that she'll contact me soon on email, but never did.

I tried every way to get in contact with Araminta or Timothy but couldn't. 

 

The website is up and functional. One can place an order even today. Just you won't get the deck or any communication/clarification from them or your money back. Well, even if  just 100 people ordered their deck is a substantial sheft! I am very disappointed. If somebody has any idea how I could get in contact with them or know them please share.

Sorry to hear about this experience. Maybe try contacting a publisher selling the deck?

Just an idea. Maybe they can help somehow.

Can you claim back against your credit card ?

[rylla]

Thank you both for the tips, I tried the publisher (no answer) and no, I can't claim it as I used a Romanian credit card and thing do not work here the same as in other countries.

This is unfortunate. I hope something good comes out of it at some point. I don’t think I’d give up on the publisher and would continue to reach out regularly as they appear to be offering the deck for sale. Something to consider. 
 

@rylla, did your Terracotta deck arrive from eBay? @gregory, what are your thoughts on the deck? 
 

[gregory]

I think it's delightful. I might use it in ISG this month !

That’s wonderful to hear! I look forward to seeing the deck in action. 😍

[rylla]

No, I'm not entirely giving up on the Alvdansen I'll bother them from time to time 🙂

 

Oh yeah, I've got the Terracotta a while back and I am very happy with it. I posted when I've got it on the 'What the postman... ' thread. 

I like its style, the design, it's an unique deck. I even like the card stock, although it's probably not everyone's piece of cake. I shuffle the traditional way so I don't have a problem with it, and I think it goes well with the design. Same for the thickness of the cards. Not too thick, not too thin. Just right. The print is good, the cards are colorful.

Oh, I must have missed it. I am glad you are very happy with it and finally received a copy.

 

@gregory, I am so sorry to hear of the difficulties and challenges around you right now. I hope things get peaceful soon. It was really neat to see the Terracotta deck in action. Even more intriguing and unique.
