Desjgn doesn't mess around with shipping. When did you order and when is your tournament? If I order on a Sunday or Monday, they're usually good for that Thursday or Friday.
Glad to hear stock issues forced you to take the plunge over Faded Spade. I personally am not a fan of FS so I'm happy to see my favorite Desjgn offering get more love.
I got a setup of FS cards a while back that a member tossed in with a purchase. I was not a fan at all. The card artwork left much to be desired for me and I found the cards incredibly thick for my tastes to handle. The artwork and less than pleasing handling made it in easy no for me.
So long as Desjgn is making cards, they've got a customer for life.
