Incase anyone else cares, they responded with no reason and no timeframe but they acknowledged the problem and responded quickly, they didn't say anything else. It has to be technical and if it is I sympathize with them because they are losing business.
Obviously if I was looking to purchase a 100 dollar + card I would go with fedex, but most of my single card purchases aren't expensive singles. USPS or not they have the best foil collection I can find for English magic in the USA.
Love the attitude. It's actually not a story it's a kind request. I posted here because I wanted to purchase some cards tonight. I have already emailed them. You're telling me it's too outlandish to ask for someone to simply go to abugames and confirm this for me by clicking checkout?
I just ordered a few cards a week ago, no problems at all and they had USPS available which I used. It even states " USPS delivery times are not guaranteed " indirectly confirming USPS should be there.
3. Shipping policy and Shipping Rates.
The ABU cart calculates a selection of shipping options and costs based on your location and the contents of your cart. ABU does not accept self addressed stamped envelopes(SASE). Although it is very rare, some orders do get lost or damaged during transit. If you have chosen shipping through Fed-Ex and your order is lost or damaged, ABU will either send out a replacement order or give a refund. ABU cannot give a replacement or refund on lost or damaged shipments sent through USPS Mail. Orders shipped via Fed-Ex may require a signature when delivered.
I searched google and found a quote from abugames on twitter stating along the lines of " USPS is now available again " but this was in 2011.
I just placed an order a week ago through these guys, I enjoyed the service and shipping was cheap! However over the last few days I have not been able to place an order because the option for USPS has vanished from the site? This is very annoying because FedEx is the only option, and I don't want to pay 10 dollars just for a few singles to be shipped.
I've tried multiple devices, I've tried multiple browsers, still no USPS. If they really removed USPS I can't shop there for singles anymore which is disappointing because that's mainly all I buy
So to all the USA mtg fans, is USPS missing at check out for you too?
Thank you to all for your comments, this will be my final post in the thread so it goes to rest. If anyone wants to post any final information feel free, know I have saved this information and it has helped a lot. My fiancée and I wanted to do good vs " evil " battles and I've never been one for angels, hehe. Sphynx your post was above and beyond, it shall be my reference until I get my feet on the ground. Double thanks to you and everyone else who took their time to help me out.
Much better community here compared to other forums I have visted, I shall return. Good luck to all in your future mtg endeavors.
Very good stuff guys I appreciate it. shepherd of rot is right up my ally. Gravecrawler love the art and the ability. Too many awesome zombies to name them all but I like each one.
Thank you very much for your informative post it has helped me decide to create a black/fire deck with some direction and if I choose to create another now at least I have a guide. Much appreciated
I was hoping though I could get some more replies on everyone's favorite zombie cards or card, favorite enchantment instant or what have you. I'm sure everyone keeps their unique combinations near and dear to their heart on an individual to individual basis, but please remember I am mainly a collector first and a player second. I won't show up at your specific tournament and be your undoing with your favorite cards lol.
The point of what I'm trying to do is strengthen my collection as well as pick up zombie cards I may have missed ( there's quite a bit ) and learn to play along the way. Prior to this posting I have purchased 100 zombie cards, so I may already have what would be posted.
Even if you just think the picture is gruesome but the ability or stats aren't favorable, post away!
Please post your favorite zombie card or group of zombie cards. Also welcomed anything that has to do with zombies, for example a sorcery, enchantment, instant.. Anything you like that compliments the zombies.
I'm creating multiple zombie decks and I am a new player.
I understand now, I'm going to reword my question in a different section of this website, I had a misunderstanding of the standard mode. To a new player such as myself " no banned cards " sounded a lot like " you can play any cards you want "
After receiving your posts I have a better understanding of what is " permitted " with standard play. I believe what I seek would be modern play and/ or vintage play. I appreciate all your time my apologies for the misunderstanding
Hello, I am looking for your suggestion for your favorite zombie or group of zombie(s), Artifacts, and/or enchantments that work well together in a deck or even that individual gruesome card you just think is individually powerful, terrifying, or collectible. ( Especially old ABU zombie or scary creatures. )
- Even if you think the card just terrifies you, I would still love to hear the suggestion. However since I'm new I'm obviously going to have a harder time figuring out what is for show and what is good enough for play unless you're specific.
The deck(s) will be 99% pure black and pure zombie creatures, if there are spirit or demon cards ( anything dark ) that compliments a zombie I would love to hear them too. However the goal is as pure zombie deck as possible and I understand " pure " decks can be easily manipulated by an opponent once they catch on but I don't care because I enjoy zombies.
Once again any other cards ( artifacts, enchantments, anything ) that compliments an all zombie black deck please let me know. I'm also open to multi-land zombie creatures ( I have noticed a few I like also require a red land )
I've recently started playing mtg and it's great fun. However I have to ask a noob question, I do not completely understand how token cards are summoned. Do I have to keep them all in my hand and draw them like normal cards from the deck ? This is what I thought at first but then I saw this http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=229968 Army of the damned. It says put " thirteen " zombie tokens down.. How is that possible to do if I must draw tokens from the deck but can only have a 7 card hand?
Obviously if I was looking to purchase a 100 dollar + card I would go with fedex, but most of my single card purchases aren't expensive singles. USPS or not they have the best foil collection I can find for English magic in the USA.

I'm also a collector so even in this worst case scenario I still have a bunch of cards I like to look at and would buy for the art anyway
I'm considering an all black spirit demon zombie deck aswell after your post. Thanks for your post
