How long will it take for my order to ship? / Why hasn’t my order shipped yet?

Our warehouse team is truly a group of magic superheroes. As they are magicians themselves, they know how eager you are to get your new magic. So, they work tremendously hard to get your order out the door as fast as possible. Outside of our big sales, this is usually within 24 hours.

However, sometimes there can be slight delays. These can be caused by a variety of things. And, unfortunately, it can sometimes take upwards of 2-3 business days for an order to ship. If it takes longer than this, please contact our Support Wizards. It is likely there is an issue with your order that will need a response from you to correct. (In most instances, we will have typically already emailed you, and that email may have ended up in your “spam” or “promotions” folder as noted above.)

The number one reason that an order hasn’t shipped is because your order has a pre-order which hasn’t been released yet. As part of our pre-order policy, if your order has a pre-order in it, the entire order will not be shipped until all items arrive (this helps cut down on potential mistakes or accidents from occuring).

If you placed your order after 1pm PST on a Friday or over the weekend, it will likely not ship until Monday at the earliest. Depending on how many other orders came in during that time, it may be delayed until Tuesday.

If these two situations don’t pertain to you, and you haven’t received a separate email from us about a delay on your order (check your “spam”, “junk” or “promotions” folder), please contact us at wizards@vanishingincmagic.com.

Please also make sure that you pay close attention to what is shown on the product page and checkout page. While we do have a large UK warehouse that holds many of our most popular magic tricks and books, there are some items that need to be transferred from our US warehouse to our UK warehouse before being sent to you. This is a fairly standard process for many ecommerce companies and only adds a couple extra days that aren’t included in the estimated shipping times. This is why you’ll see some products say “In stock. Dispatched from the UK within 3 - 5 days”. The estimated shipping times do not start until the product has been dispatched from the UK.
