USPS Priority Mail
Packages will be shipped every weekday right up until Christmas.
However, orders placed after the deadline will not reach the recipient in time for Christmas.
Priority Mail is not GUARANTEED to arrive on time. Most packages will make it. However, sometimes mail is delayed at the USPS sorting stations, or by bad weather. Once the package is in the USPS system, MagicTricks.com has NO CONTROL over delivery!
Expected delivery for US Priority Mail is about 2-3 business days AFTER the order has left our warehouse.
We do our best (and usually succeed!) at shipping out orders the day we receive them.
However, delays may occur.
If there will be a brief delay before shipping, you will be notified immediately BY EMAIL.
We are very aware that you need your package before Christmas. :-)
If you need to cancel your order before we ship it out, please call 540-832-0900
