Not the biggest selection in Valentine/Birthday cards, but they are quite nice and much more unique.

Cool, but won't these most likely come after V-Day?

They are supposed to be there by V-Day at least. There wouldn't be a point in it otherwise..

Yeah, it ends in 4 days, the 12th.

Then: Estimated time until product ships: 7 business days after the drop end date.

So they're estimating that it'll be shipped, not delivered, by 7 days after the 12th.

Does MD send an order to the manufacturer/retailer and then they ship it out? because I paid CA taxes for a item that got shipped from washington

That's what happened when I joined a MD for a vaporizer.

Not sure about their tax policy.

Ah well, looks like they had a drop for these like 2 weeks ago to get it by Valentine's Day so guess if you order now it won't be here in time.

Regardless, there are still birthday cards and you could get it and save it for Valentine's Day next year :P

you know what ? this is their re-opening of the group buy...

they did it at first around early january, I joined in... then when it gets closer to early February, they suddenly CANCELLED all the international order saying that the cost will be more than the cards itself.

now they opened it again for a late shipping.... sucks balls
