Crow Tarot update

soniaA while ago, I bought a Crow Tarot deck, as introduced by radiantfracture. It's been sitting on my desk since, and I haven't felt moved to even shuffle the cards.
Meanwhile, I decided to order a couple of mugs with MJ Cullinane's tarot images on them for my niece and nephew for Hanukah. I got distracted during the ordering process and put my address instead of theirs, and there was no "order summary" where I could have fixed it before making the order final.
I immediately contacted MJ by email requesting her to fix the address, since it takes 7-10 days to receive an order so there wasn't enough time to re-ship from here. A couple of days later she got back to me and said she would take care of it. A couple of days later I check on the order and the tracking link says my city. I contact her again. A couple of days later I try again with URGENT in the subject line. She answers and says she'll get in touch with the mug manufacturer, but nothing changes on the tracking link, and I never hear back from her.
So the mugs came here, and I reshipped them ($20), and they'll be late, and I have no idea if my niece and nephew will even like them.
I'm finding, as I try to avoid using Amazon, that there are downsides of dealing with small business owners and their small websites that don't necessarily function all that smoothly or efficiently.
The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth and I have even less desire to work with this deck.
Want it? Let me know in comments. I'm also thinking about whether I know anyone locally who might want it.
