Steamboat Arcana 1928 has officially embarked on its sea freight journey from China to our fulfillment center on the East Coast! The decks were picked up today, December 19th, right on schedule.
The typical transit time is around 8-10 weeks, so we expect them to arrive sometime in late February or early March. We'll continue to keep you updated on the shipping/freight news.
Thanks again for your amazing support!

🚢 🌟✨ Update: Sea Freight and Shipping Progress for Steamboat Arcana 1928 🚢 🌟✨

Hello Backers,
We’re excited to bring you the latest updates on Steamboat Arcana 1928!
Sea Freight Update The sea freight packages were packed earlier this month, and last week we worked closely with our team to finalize important decisions about import codes and logistics to ensure the smoothest process possible. The earliest available sailing date from our logistics partner’s top co-loaders is December 19th. This date is still being finalized, and I’ll post an update as soon as the shipment is officially accepted.
The estimated transit time for sea freight is typically 8 weeks minimum to the U.S. East Coast. While this timeframe is longer than it was pre-COVID, it reflects the current challenges facing global supply chains, such as cargo volume, limited space, and disruptions from factors like port delays and equipment shortages. Based on this timeline, the decks will likely be in transit during January and February, arriving at Fulfillrite, our fulfillment center in New Jersey, around late February or early March.
International Orders Update For backers who chose to ship directly from China, there were approximately 100 of you. Most have already been contacted with the estimated shipping costs, and we’ve asked for confirmation. For those who’ve agreed, we plan to charge cards around December 16th. We’ll do our best to see that these orders are sent out before the end of the year.
For international backers whose orders will ship from the USA, we will be able to input the box dimensions and weight into the Fulfillrite system to generate accurate shipping fee estimates. We will begin reaching out to backers with this information in January and February while the sea freight is in transit. You’ll be notified about shipping costs and the total amount for your order in advance, and we’ll let you know before we charge cards to collect international shipping fees.
The final product represents a tremendous amount of work, craft, attention to detail, and love ❤️ —and we’re incredibly proud of how it’s come together. We’re excited for you to experience it, and we’re confident it will be well worth the wait!
Thank you for your patience and continued support as we navigate these final stages. We’re committed to ensuring everything goes as smoothly as possible and will keep you updated along the way.
Warm regards, The Steamboat Arcana 1928 Team
🚢 🌟✨ Pre-Packing and Sea Freight Preparations Moving Forward 🚢 🌟✨

Hello Backers,
We’re excited to share another update on the progress of Steamboat Arcana 1928!
Production was officially completed a couple weeks ago, and our printer is pre-packing all the boxes to ensure a smooth journey to your doorstep. This pre-packing means that when the boxes arrive in the USA, they’ll be ready for immediate fulfillment. We’ve included some videos from the printer for a behind-the-scenes look at this phase—check them out!
Shipping Preparations This past week, we’ve focused on logistics with Fulfillrite, our fulfillment partner. We’ve entered all UPCs, weights, and dimensions into their system, which helps us accurately estimate shipping costs, particularly for international orders.
We’re also working to have Fulfillrite communicate directly with the printer to streamline the international freight process. Currently, we’re waiting on an items list from the printer that includes the quantity of each item in inventory. Once we have this list, we’ll create an ASN (Advance Shipping Notice), and the sea-freight stage will begin. Once sea freight is underway, we should have a much clearer picture of the shipping timeline.
Additionally, we reached out to backers who requested shipping directly from China to confirm addresses. We’re finalizing rates with our Chinese shipping partner, and these will be the first orders to ship.
Navigating Challenges and Celebrating Wins Working with the printer and relying on them has posed challenges, leading to unexpected delays along the way. However, it’s also important to acknowledge the many positives in their work. Their efforts with pre-packing and attention to detail in quality control have been invaluable. While we may need to partner with a new printer for future projects to streamline timelines, we’re grateful for the ways this team has contributed to bringing Steamboat Arcana to life.
Once the shipping schedule is set, we’ll share it with you, and we should have more clarity soon on when shipping for the sea freight will begin. It's all coming together. We just wish it were coming together quicker.
Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process. We’re thrilled with how the final product has turned out, and we’re grateful to have you with us on this journey. We can’t wait for you to see the results of all this hard work!
Warm regards, The Steamboat Arcana 1928 Team
The printer made these videos for us to test boxes for pre-packaging and there will be packing straw included. It's not the most excting thing, but you can see how everything came together and looks.
Here are some photos of the Steamboat Arcana 1928 mini-deck tins.
We are working with the printer and the fulfillment company to make plans for sea-freight.

Next up: sea freight! For international backers who opted for shipping directly from China, we’ll be reaching out soon to collect shipping fees and begin sending out your packages.

Hello Backers,
We’re thrilled to bring you another update on the progress of Steamboat Arcana 1928! Our printer in China has reported that production is nearly complete—everything is finished except for the tarot journal and bookmark, which they expect to wrap up very soon.
In the meantime, the printer is hard at work prepackaging the boxes and applying barcodes to all items to ensure a smooth transition when shipping begins. Once production is complete across the board, we’ll be moving forward with the sea freight arrangements, and we’ll also begin collecting for shipping for those who opted for international shipping directly from China.
We’ve also included a set of photos from the printer, showcasing the tin boxes, mini cards, standard cards, magnetic boxes, guidebooks, and lid-and-base boxes. These give a great behind-the-scenes look at the items as they’re being prepared for you!
Thank you all for your patience and continued support—we’re almost there!
