Playing Cards - Bee or Bicycle in bulk in canada? |
|
Does anyone know where I can purchase bee or Bicycle playing cards in large quantities? Looking for maybe 30+ lots of cards.
I always open a new deck of cards everytime I play and its getting expensive to buy them at 4-5 bucks a deck. Also have an upcoming touranment that would require quite a few decks so this would be helpful.
Not looking for plastic cards. Not really a fan of them. Thanks for any advice!

Do you a Costco store nearby? Are you a Costco member?
Here in the US, in the Washington DC area, my local Costco store has a dozen Bicycle cards for about $13.49US. (after state sales tax that's still only about $14.20 or so, or less than $1.20 per deck). I haven't seen them for that kind of price per deck in nearly 20 years.
Some sellers have them in quantity on eBay, but after you pay shipping the price does not compare.
Good luck.
Ken

I don't know if the Canadian Costco stores carry the Bicycle cards in the 12 packs like they do in the US, but a local merchant told me that his USPC rep told him that it would be cheaper for him to buy Bicycle cards from Costco than for him to buy them directly from USPC (this would be a small mom&pop type merchant.)

Hey man I'm Canadian also and I can't find anywhere that sells Bicycles, or Bees, in bulk.
I'm not a member of Costco so I end up purchasing by cards off of ebay.
Where do you live btw?
