**ALERT!**
USPS "Gridlocked" As Historic Crush of Packages Sparks Holiday Delivery DelaysREAD ARTICLE HERE
SO PLEASE BE PATIENT.
Magictricks.com got your package into the USPS system quickly.
But EXPECT DELAYS WITH USPS, even after Christmas.
Both MagicTricks.com and Stamps.com email your tracking number to you.
But we cannot track your order or give you any further information on where your package is in the USPS system.
PLEASE CALL YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE WITH TRACKING/DELIVERY QUESTIONS.
Now shipping every weekday through the holiday season!
DEADLINE for ordering for Christmas delivery is
NOON EASTERN TIME on Thursday, December 17
We will still ship orders received after the deadline, of course.
We will ship daily, but orders received after NOON on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17 may not be delivered in time!
PLEASE NOTE: "Christmas delivery" is NOT a guarantee.
It is a Post Office estimate.
Actual delivery time is completely dependent on the speed of the Postal Service!
We wish we could transport your package magically to you!
But we have to depend on the U.S. Postal Service.
We can't speed up the Post Office or locate your package, or give your postman special delivery instructions.
We ship your package.
THE POST OFFICE DELIVERS IT!
To save you time, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE with delivery issues.
If your package tracking shows a delay, the POSTMASTER at your Post Office is the ONLY ONE who can help you with this.
If your package is lost by the Post Office and IS NOT scanned as DELIVERED, we will replace or refund your order.
However, if your package was marked DELIVERED by the Post Office, but was stolen, WE CANNOT REPLACE OR REFUND the order.

"What if an item I order is not in stock?"
YOU HAVE A CHOICE AT CHECKOUT.
You will choose one of these options:
- If any item is backordered ship everything else now and ship the backordered item ASAP at no additional shipping cost OR
- CANCEL any backordered items and ship what is available now OR
- If any item is backordered then cancel entire order
With the high volume of daily orders we get at this time of year, items can quickly go out of stock before the inventory control can catch up.

"What if I don't receive my package?"

USPS Priority Mail
Packages will be shipped every weekday through Wednesday, December 23.
However, orders placed after the deadline of Thursday, December 17 may 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!
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
All packages shipped by USPS have a tracking number, which will be automatically EMAILED to you when your package ships.
Your package is considered DELIVERED when your postal carrier has scanned it as delivered.
If your package is lost by the Post Office and IS NOT scanned as DELIVERED, we will replace or refund your order.
If your package was marked DELIVERED by the Post Office, but was stolen, WE CANNOT REPLACE OR REFUND the order.
If you have created an account, you can track your order anytime by logging into your account.
Once your package is shipped, it is in the hands of the USPS. We cannot do anything to make the USPS deliver faster. :-)
All deliveries and delivery times are subject to the limitations, rules and restrictions of the US Postal Service.
ALL CLAIMS FOR NON-DELIVERY OF PACKAGES NEED TO BE MADE BY YOU DIRECTLY TO YOUR POST OFFICE!
If your package has been tracked and scanned as DELIVERED, but you did not receive it, you must contact the POSTMASTER at your local Post Office.
