Shipping
The MTG Place ships orders every day (except for Sundays). We offer our customers a variety of shipping methods. International shipping is also available for overseas customers. We ship from our storefront, located at 732 S. 4th St., Philadelphia PA 19147.
Shipping costs vary based on weight and destination. As a rough guide, shipping costs for 1 card via First Class mail through the US Postal Service to California (the other side of the country) is approximately $1.80, while the cost for shipping 50 cards is approximately $3.80.
All orders are securely packaged and it is very rare that orders are damaged or lost. We are not responsible for any damage to or loss of your package; damage or loss is the responsibility of the shipping company (usually UPS or the United States Postal Service). We will be happy to provide you with any information helpful in pursuing this matter with the shipping company (e.g. tracking number for UPS items, receipt of mailing for USPS items, etc.) but loss/damage is strictly their responsibility. If your order contains expensive cards, we strongly recommend (and in some cases may require) that you select an insured and trackable shipping method.
For customers who do not wish to use the US Postal Service, we ship via UPS. For US customers, the basic UPS Ground service is automatically insured, trackable, and has a scheduled delivery date. In many cases, customers in close geographical proximity to us will receive their package the day after we ship it. For example, orders being shipped by UPS Ground will be delivered overnight to NJ, DE, MD, DC, NYC and most of PA, VA, CT and NY. Please refer to the map below for more information. Note that the UPS map shows delivery times in business days (i.e. excluding Saturday and Sunday) and begins from the day we ship your order.
UPS does not ship to PO Boxes. Do not select UPS as a ship method if you are shipping to a PO Box as it will delay your order.
While we strive to pick, package and ship your items as quickly as possible, please be aware that selecting overnight shipping does not guarantee you will receive your items the day after you place an order with us. If you have an urgent order that absolutely must reach you the next day, we recommend that you call us first to see if we can accommodate you.
If you would like to pick up your merchandise in person during our normal business hours at our Philadelphia location, you may do so by selecting "In Store Pickup" as your shipping method.
Orders shipped outside the US may be subject to customs fees or import tariffs imposed by the destination country. We have no control over these fees. Customers who refuse a shipment because of excessive import fees will be assessed a charge equal to our initial shipping charges and the return shipping costs. Accordingly, we encourage customers to be aware of their country's import fees and taxes before placing an order with us.
For a variety of reasons, we regret that we are unable to ship to the following countries: Belarus, Estonia, Ghana, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Phillipines, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Yugoslavia.
