Hey guys

I just found out that UPS, USPS, and other shipping company's in USA don't ship to my country at this time. I really don't know the reason, but that is just how it is at the moment. So I tried to order TA trough Ellusionist, but they told me they got a lot of stuff back because of this problem.

So my question is this:
What are good and reliable online magic stores here in Europe, from which I can order TA?

Thanx for the help

Toby, Mjmmagic.com is the best website period. It has tricks from T11, E, and any trick you can name. It has nice 10percent discount on many items, the best shipping prices and times. I got Boris Wild's Marked Deck in 3 days after ordering and only had 3-5 day shipping.

They are in USA, and I need one in Europe, because UPS and USPS don't ship to my country at this moment.

They should ship, they have free shipping and some other sort of international shipping. Idk if you have checked it out or maybe they have changed it since I last checked.

If I find anything else I will let you know. I am posting on all your forums for some reason maybe because they have a point and not a "what should I buy" question :D

It is not a problem in the company itself, because non of the companies have their own plains in which they ship packages. They all go trough USA postal service (USPS). And USPS don't ship to my country at this point, so they have to send all orders back.
Example: I buy TA from MJM Magic, they send it to USPS for them to ship it here. But USPS returns TA to MJM Magic, because they are not shipping to my country.
I don't know if that is clear enough... English is not my native language so I have problems with it. :D

Toby,
Try calling the places you want to order from and request that they use DHL. DHL is owned by Deutsche Post and should deliver to you over in Europe. If not, do a search for some UK magic sites and see if they carry the TA set. Good luck.

Thank you John. But, see, I have this other problem now. I will tell it because it can happen to someone else. When I ordered TA, when I clicked "complete order", that is the last step. The next step is a E-Mail with a confirmation and order details. But, this is what happened: after I clicked "complete order", it took all the money from my credit card, but showed me an Error because of the shipping problem. Now, I don't have my money, and I don't have my order.
What happened is this: Money got RESERVED. It is basically nowhere right now. When I clicked "complete order", money got withdrawn from my credit card, but it never came to the company (in this case, Ellusionist) because of the shipping error. So I will have to go to the bank in person, and draw my money back manually. But that procedure takes like a week or something.

I stumbled across this web site, it is in UK, but I don't know if they are reliable.

Can anyone vouch for them?

Toby,

Since the Order cannot be shipped they should only have a hold on the money, in credit card terms it's an authorization to take the funds. As long as you let the bank know the issue they should release the authorization. This should not take a week. On the other hand E has very good customer service and will probably understand your need to ship via DHL. If you give them a call you might be able to get them to send it this way under these special circumstances. I'd trying getting a hold of E first, if they aren't willing to go that route then I'd let them know they need to cancel the transaction and that you will be contacting your bank to reverse the authorization. If you have to go the latter route you might call other places before you order to see if they will go with your shipper. MJM has excellent customer service and I know W:H is taking orders, send him an e-mail and he might go that route for you as well. It never hurts to ask, these people are in the customer service business and I know many who have bent over backwards for me, Lee Asher is one.

Thanx again John.
I contacted E's customer service, but only via text, so it is going really slow. I will try to call them tomorrow.
But, here is the problem that is occurring with other companies, like W:H and the rest. You can only pay them via PayPal, but, unfortunately, PayPal also doesn't support my country (it is a lame a$$ country, i know). So I can't even pay on other sites...

Great, thanx Stav ;) (ok, sorry, now I'm just pushing it...:( )

Anyways, on the first site they don't sell TA, but they do on the second one, and it is for 209 pounds, cheapest I found so far. I hope they are legit...

I have heard that Magicbox is legit, from memory from Chris and Dee, but best to PM them to make sure it's those guys. Best of luck with it..

Haha it's a wad of G. The wad of G has arrived!
