Not right now. They are pretty pricey to make, and I really don’t want to produce a cheaper card – what I enjoy about selling these cards is the fact that they are super durable, offer great value as they last for years, and they are completely made in America (with the exception of the leather lacing – made in India, but I purchase it from a vendor in Indiana). The extra heavy duty laminate bodies really make the difference on these cards, as does the custom color coding which is color photo offset (not cheap inkjet) because of the pattern’s thin lines – to me, a cheap black and white xerox of the rulebook would have not been enough of an improvement to warrant folks spending good money for a set! And they really do last – heck, I am still using many of my original “beta” cards that I made in 1999! So you do get the maximum bang for your buck, and I make enough to keep sliding plates on my one good reining horse. 🙂

Most Slidin’Guide orders in the USA should arrive in 5 days; to Canada the time can be up to 14 days depending on your Province and local customs. To the UK and Australia typically they arrive in 5-10 days, again depending on your location. Large cities in Oz may get them in as little as 5 days as reported by our customers!

Most orders and all Slidin’Guides ship via the US Postal Service (USPS). Some items may let you choose shipping for UPS and Fed Express as well.

Unfortunately, no. International shipping costs have skyrocketed – even shipping to Canada is 4x the cost of within the USA.

However, if you want to order a large number of SlidinGuides we can often reduce the International shipping cost greatly by using DHL or another carrier. Just email haylie@ridenslidegear.com and we can put together a custom batch order for you!
