SHIPPING INFORMATION

Figuring out when you'll get your package (U.S. addresses only)

Typically, it takes 3 to 5 business days in total for the average order to arrive at a destination within the Continental U.S.

Most orders are processed and shipped the same day we receive them. If you place the order by phone or online by using the shopping cart, your order will be processed much quicker than if you mail it to us, because we cannot process your mailed-in order until we get it! It usually takes 3-5 business days for a mail order to reach us.

Packages are shipped daily Monday through Friday. Priority mail typically takes 3-5 business days to reach addresses within the lower 48 U.S. states.

Of course, this is only an estimate, this is not a guarantee. We have no control over the speed of delivery after your package is in the hands of the carrier.

.

Ordering items with different availabilities

  • Generally, we will make one shipment when your complete order is ready.
    Unless other instructions are given, we will wait until we have all the items in your order before shipping any of them. For example, if you order one item that is in stock another that is temporarily backordered, we will ship both to you together when both items become available.
    Typically, items are back in stock within 3-5 business days, so nearly all of our packages ship very quickly. (See also Backorder Information).

.

What FedEx Overnight really means

Asking us to ship using FedEx Overnight does not always mean you will get your order the next day.
  • Once shipped, FedEx Overnight packages are guaranteed to arrive at the end of the next business day. Please note, however, that upgrading method of shipment to Overnight or 2nd Day Air does not change how long it takes us to assemble and ship your order--it only reduces the travel time after your order leaves our warehouse. For example, an item that is in stock will reach you on the next business day after you place your order (if you place your order by 2 pm Eastern time). If you order an item that is not in stock, your package will reach you on the next business day after we send your item out. (Your FedEx operator can give you specific information on an item's availability). Only items that are available to be shipped when we receive your order are eligible for true Overnight delivery.
  • Overnight Delivery is not available in all areas.
    FedEx does not offer Overnight Delivery to all locations. Rural addresses may not be served.
  • Orders to be shipped via FedEx must be received in our order center by 2pm if you want us to ship the same day.
    If you phone in your order after 2 p.m., for example, it cannot be shipped out until the following business day.
  • Unless you pay extra, FedEx does not deliver on weekends or legal holidays.
    If you phone in your order after 2 p.m. on a Friday, for example, your package will not be shipped until Monday, and will not be delivered to you until Tuesday, even if it is shipped "Overnight".
  •  
    FedEx shipping is subject to delays caused by bad weather and other factors. Though packages usually arrive as scheduled, there is always the possibility that circumstances may prevent FedEx from delivering your package on time, even though you paid to have the service. In such cases, it is FEDEX' fault, not MagicTricks.com! We have no control over FedEx and its performance. Complaints must be directed to FedEx. Refunds must come from FedEx. The shipping fees we collect from you go to FedEx, not to us, so refunds need to come from FedEx. We will provide you with your tracking number and the FedEx phone number so that you can resolve your issue directly with them.

Why FedEx orders must be placed by telephone

FedEx orders are critical, and require personalized attention from our staff.
  • You will need to be informed as to whether the items you are ordering are in stock, and whether your package can be shipped out promptly.
  • You will be able to get your tracking number from the operator when you call.
  • Orders to be shipped via FedEx must be received in our order center by 2pm if you want us to ship the same day.
  • Unless you pay extra, FedEx does not deliver on weekends or legal holidays.
  • Overnight orders can be sent to your credit card billing address ONLY. Credit card fraud is most often committed with FedEx Overnight orders, and we need positive verification of your credit card information in order to ship Overnight.
  • FedEx shipments require your signature. FedEx packages WILL NOT be left at your door. You will have to show proof of identity and sign for the package.

FedEx shipping deadlines

  • Orders to be shipped via FedEx must be received in our order center by 2pm if you want us to ship the same day.
    If you phone in your order after 2 p.m., for example, it will be shipped out on the following business day.
  • FedEx does not accept shipments on weekends or legal holidays.
    If you want your order sent via FedEx, we send it out as quickly as possible, but FedEx only accepts shipments on weekdays.

Backorder information

  • We hold your shipment for any backordered items.
    Typically, backordered items are back in stock within 3-5 business days, so we are not talking about a long delay.
  • We will email you to let you know when your order is expected to ship.
    On the day we receive your order, you will receive an email if you have an item in your order that will not ship immediately. If you did not give us an email address, or if you gave us an incorrect email address, you will not be contacted.
  • You may request that the available items be shipped, and the backordered items be canceled.
    As long as the backordered item is not a special order, you may instruct us at any time to ship what we have available, and cancel the backordered items. You are not charged for items until we actually ship them, so you do not have to worry about refunds.
  • If your order contains an item that is temporarily or permanently unavailable, your order is shipped without that item.
    You are not charged for items until we actually ship them. If you ordered by credit card, you are simply not charged for the item that is not available. If you ordered by check or money order, we will give you a refund check for the price of the item.

  • Customs may delay delivery. You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, when ordering from us, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods.
  • The delivery times listed above are approximate. Delivery times are totally dependent on the speed of the postal system in your country. We have no control over this.
Why We Use Global Express Mail Shipping
Customers sometimes ask us whether we can ship using a cheaper method. In fact, some other web sites advertise prices as low as $9.95 for international shipping. Well- you get what you pay for. Do you want your package to arrive quickly? Express Mail usually arrives in 3-5 business days; the $9.95 method arrives in 4-7 WEEKS. Do you want your package to arrive safely? Express Mail is insured for full value, and is shipped using special handling; the $9.95 method does not include insurance, and is handled with all other cargo. Do you want your package to arrive, period? Express Mail is insured and has a tracking number; the $9.95 method cannot be tracked and is not insured- no one knows where your package is! The cheaper shipping cost is no bargain when you don't receive your package, is it?
 
Please also note that our shipping charges are based on the ACTUAL SHIPPING COST that the Postal Service charges.  And they are providing the extra care and the extra service to make sure you receive your package quickly and safely. It's just not worth it to ship any other way.
