After 10+ years we are raising our prices on Card Sleeves

Announcements China General Sleeving Guides 0 Comment(s) September 27, 2021

We are very sorry, there is no easy way to say this. Since Mayday began selling card sleeves back in 2008 we have NEVER raised the prices of our card sleeves. We have been and remain committed to offering the best value sleeves on the market. But the sad reality is that prices of everything have increased in the last 13 years. In fact just inflation from 2008 to 2021 for the USD is over 27% (see calculation HERE). We are getting hit with unprecedented shipping costs, a 40’ container last year was under $5,000 to ship from China to the USA...

I didn’t always love China. We ended up moving there for my dad’s manufacturing business and only planned on staying a few years. I still remember when we first landed. It was a chilly, humid night in October 2011, and I was only thirteen. We left the comparatively bland familiarity of the airport in Shanghai and ventured into the wilds of a freeway where cars and trucks listlessly drifted from lane to lane and traffic rules were optional except under the watchful gaze of the cameras.
