The Game Crafter is happy to announce that we’ve done a massive upgrade to our shipping system that is more than a year in the making. Here are the benefits you can expect:
- We now offer UPS as a shipping option.
- 20-40% better pricing to most international destinations. In some cases it can be massive like dropping from $40 to $10, but those are rare. Most people will see the 20-40% decrease. Look for “UPS Mail Innovations” for the cheaper international shipping option.
- Ship times to international destinations are faster (if you use UPS Mail Innovations).
- Up to 20% better pricing within the United States. Look for “USPS Priority” for the best shipping pricing inside the United States.
- We now offer next day shipping options via UPS. So if you have paid for an order to be produced urgently, you an also now pay for urgent shipping too.
- Your tracking number(s) will now be displayed on your receipt page on our site.
- Address validation for addresses in the United States and Australia, to help you discover your typos.

Hallelujah! Shipping price
Hallelujah!
Shipping price has been my biggest gripe about using tgc.
Awesome!
Yep, people have been asking for cheaper shipping options since we first launched The Game Crafter in July of 2009. It's a tough thing though because you have to do enough volume to qualify for better rates and become eligible for certain shipping methods.
Anyway, this is super exciting for everyone and we hope to continue pushing for cheaper/faster shipping options. :)
Please share your feedback on cost/shipping times after you place additional orders with us using these new shipping methods. Thanks!
