Wholesale Tarot Cards: Shipping to Europe and the UK, Minimum Order Explained

Minimum order to buy wholesale in Europe or the UK

The minimum is 12 decks, full stop — the same rule for a shop in London, Berlin or anywhere else. No trade account, application or approval step exists; trade pricing of $15.90 a deck at 12 applies automatically through the normal Shopify checkout. Orders run in multiples of 12 up to 192 decks per design.

Stock and Made to Order count together toward your 12 decks in total. A few editions are in stock and the catalogue marks them; each needs at least 5 decks. Every other design is made to order: 12 of each, in multiples of 12. Each design is priced on its own quantity, so 12 + 12 of two designs costs more than 24 of one.

How delivery to Europe and the UK is charged

Delivery for 12 decks is £24.99 to the UK (5–9 business days) and €24.99 to Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Austria (7–10 business days), shown as its own line before you pay. Every parcel ships insured with UPS. For an EU address, your country's VAT is calculated in the same step and paid together with the order. For the UK, 20% VAT is not added at checkout; it is paid to UPS on delivery.

A worked example: 12 decks for a UK shop

That is $190.80 for 12 decks in goods. Delivery to a UK address is £24.99 for 12 decks, and any selected artwork preparation is added at checkout. UK VAT (20%) is not charged at checkout: it is paid to UPS on delivery. For an EU address, VAT is calculated at checkout and paid with the order, so nothing is due at the door.

A hard deck-count minimum vs. an order-value minimum

Several European and UK tarot and gift distributors set their wholesale entry point as a minimum order value — commonly a threshold stated in euros — rather than a fixed unit count across a single design. That structure makes the true unit-count cost of entry hard to know before you ask, because it depends on the mix and price of whatever you put in the basket.

Dark Forest states the minimum the other way round: 12 decks in total, at a published per-deck price, so you know the goods total before you start: $190.80 at the 12-deck price, plus delivery for your country (£24.99 to the UK). You do not need a quote to see where you stand.

Delivery and VAT by destination

For 12 decks, delivery is £24.99 to the UK and €24.99 to Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Austria. To Canada it is CA$55.73 by UPS Express (3–6 business days), and to the United States $39.99 by UPS Express (3–6 business days). Every parcel is insured. Within the EU, your country's VAT is calculated in the same step and paid with the order. In the UK, 20% VAT is paid to UPS on delivery. For the United States, Canada and elsewhere, any import duty follows local rules. The deck price itself, $15.90 down to $10.90 by quantity, is the same everywhere.

Terms that apply to every EU and UK order

• Resale is unrestricted. You may resell goods you purchase and set your own retail prices, including on Amazon or Etsy.
• Orders ship to you, not to your customer. Sending single decks straight to your customer is a separate programme: dropship tarot cards, from US stock for US customers, no minimum order, with its own price and terms.
• Payment in full at checkout. No net terms or financing are offered today.
• 14-day returns on unopened stock. Original shipping is not refunded and return shipping to the US warehouse is the buyer's cost; Made to Order and custom goods are not returnable for a change of mind once production has started.
• Insurance is included in every delivery price, and a confirmed manufacturing defect is replaced free, including replacement shipping.

Full wording lives on the order terms page.

Where the decks are made

Dark Forest decks are made in Ukraine. Made-to-order decks are produced there and take 3–4 weeks. Ready stock ships within 1-2 business days: from the US warehouse to US orders, from the EU warehouse to EU orders and by UPS Express to other countries.
