Postage can decide whether a low-value card is worth buying online. The cheapest service is not always the cheapest outcome if the packaging is too weak or the order has no useful delivery evidence.
UK carrier prices and compensation limits change. Use this guide to choose the type of service, then confirm the live price and terms with the carrier or at Deckd checkout.
Economy delivery for inexpensive cards
A properly protected single card may fit a standard letter format. Check thickness and weight after adding the sleeve, rigid protection and envelope. Economy delivery can keep the total sensible for a cheap card, but it may provide limited tracking or compensation.
Tracked delivery
Tracked services provide stronger delivery evidence and are a better fit as value increases. Check whether the service records acceptance, progress and delivery, and whether its compensation actually covers trading cards.
Large letters and parcels
Multiple cards, thick rigid holders and graded slabs can exceed letter dimensions. Measure the finished package rather than guessing. Forcing a protected card into the wrong format can cause surcharges, delays or damage.
