Wholesale Tarot for a Metaphysical or New Age Shop

The short answer: twelve decks, $226.80 delivered

One ladder, the same for ready stock, Made to Order and printing under your own brand. Insured delivery is quoted separately by destination and is not inside the deck price: twelve decks to a United States address is $36.00 of delivery on top of $190.80 of goods, so $226.80 delivered; to Great Britain the same twelve decks are $33.00 of delivery, $223.80 delivered.

Twelve decks of one design is the floor, and orders above it run in multiples of twelve up to 192 per online order. You may mix designs across the catalogue to reach twelve, with at least five of any single ready-stock edition. The full range is on the wholesale deck catalogue; the trade terms are on the wholesale hub.

What a metaphysical shop needs from a tarot supplier that a general wholesaler cannot give

Four things separate a tarot supplier that works for a metaphysical shop from a general giftware wholesaler who happens to carry a deck or two.

A first order small enough to be a test, not a bet. Most card manufacturing starts at 200 or 500 copies of a single design, which is a commitment a shop makes to a deck it has never sold. Twelve is a shelf, not a pallet: you find out in one season whether tarot moves in your room, on a $226.80 outlay rather than a four-figure one.

Designs that are not the one deck every shop already has. The wholesale catalogue holds 24 tarot designs — classic 1909 illustrated editions, borderless vintage and Marseille treatments, and darker modern styles. A customer who already owns the standard deck buys a second one for the artwork, and that second purchase is the one a specialist shop is placed to make.

A margin that survives a real shelf price. See the next section.

Restock that does not take a season. Part of the catalogue is held as ready stock and ships as soon as the order is confirmed; the rest is produced after you order. Which design sits in which route is set out in our guide to ready stock versus made to order.

Are metaphysical shops profitable on tarot decks?

The arithmetic a buyer actually cares about: at twelve decks the goods are $15.90 each and insured delivery to a US address works out at $3.00 a deck, so a deck lands on your counter at $18.90. At a $34.99 shelf price that is a 46% margin, before any local sales tax you collect. At forty-eight decks the deck itself drops to $12.90 and the same shelf price carries a wider margin again. Our full working of this is in the cost and shelf-margin guide.

Tarot has one property that suits this kind of shop specifically: it is a considered purchase with a repeat pattern. A reader who buys one deck buys another, and the accessories around it — cloths, boxes, bags — attach to the deck rather than replacing it. A deck line is therefore usually worth judging on its second and third order, not its first, which is another argument for starting at twelve rather than at two hundred.

What you do not need in order to buy at trade prices

The trade price is not something you are granted. It applies automatically from twelve decks through the ordinary checkout, with no account to open, no form to be approved and no resale certificate, company number or LLC asked for before you can buy. If you would rather talk to someone first, the quote form reaches a person who answers within 24 hours on business days.

What we do ask for is the same thing any maker asks: a delivery address, and for a custom run, artwork you have the right to print. Reselling what you buy is unrestricted — you set your own retail price, in your shop or online, and we place no territory or channel condition on it. The detail is in resale rights, and the full trade terms sit on the order terms page.

Putting your own name on the deck

A shop that wants its own edition rather than a catalogue one can have it at the same twelve-deck minimum and the same ladder: your artwork on 78 cards, your name on the box.

Printing under your own name adds a one-off preparation charge where layout work is needed: $50 for a printed box layout, $50 for a card back, and $150 for a booklet layout. All three are waived from sixty decks. That is deliberate, not an oversight — it is the point at which a first order becomes a real shelf line, and the fee stops being charged. Supplying print-ready files that already match our template costs nothing extra; the template and file specification are on the printing specification page.

The route and the file specification are on the custom printing page.

Lead time and how an order runs

Ready-stock designs ship as soon as the order is confirmed. A new production run takes 15–20 business days after you approve the artwork proof, then 5–9 business days in transit to the United States by insured UPS. That is a planning estimate rather than a guaranteed date — destination and carrier service move the transit window. Production starts only after you approve a digital proof; physical printed samples are not offered today.

Common questions

Where can I find wholesale metaphysical products like tarot decks?

Directly from the maker, in this case. Dark Forest sells its own 24-design tarot catalogue at trade prices from a 12-deck minimum, with no trade application and no distributor between you and the price. A complete 78-card deck with its printed box and 48-page booklet is $15.90 at 12 decks, $226.80 delivered to a US address, read live from our pricing service on 24 September 2026.

Are metaphysical shops profitable on a tarot line?

On these numbers a deck lands at $18.90 in the US - $15.90 of goods plus $3.00 a deck of insured delivery - and a $34.99 shelf price gives a 46% margin before local sales tax. At 48 decks the deck itself falls to $12.90. Whether the category works in your room is a separate question, which is exactly why the minimum is 12 decks rather than 200.

How do I know a wholesale supplier is legitimate?

Ask for four things in writing before you pay: the minimum order, the unit price at your quantity, what is included in it (box, booklet, delivery), and where the goods are made. A maker that will not put those four in writing is not ready to be your supplier. Ours are published: 12 decks, $15.90 a complete 78-card deck at 12, box and 48-page booklet included, delivery quoted separately, made in Ukraine.

What is the minimum order for wholesale tarot cards here?

12 decks. Above that, orders run in multiples of 12 up to 192 decks per online order. You may mix designs across the catalogue to reach 12, keeping at least 5 of any single ready-stock edition.

Do you hold the decks, or are they made after I order?

Both routes exist. Part of the catalogue is held as ready stock on the US side and ships as soon as the order is confirmed; the rest is produced after your order, which takes 15 to 20 business days plus transit. We do not publish how many of any design are held, because that number changes.
