I've never found that :?.

Most people will ship in one or two days...

PenguinMagic.co.uk is slower than MagicShop.co.uk, say, but it's still not particularly slow - orders will arrive generally 2 - 3 business days after you order them.

Well, you can't count weekends as nobody works on a weekend.

I find them very slow - I think I waited a week for Sankey's 'In A Flash' so very rarely shop there now.

Magicshop.co.uk and magictricks.co.uk are both excellent for servcie and are very speedy in delivery.

I have found Penguin to be the BEST in shipping, thus far. However, this could be because I use .com and the uk site may have a slower turnaround time.

Free shipping (which the site SAYS takes 7-10 days) has NEVER (and I've placed many orders) taken more than 2 days.

Weird cos I've placed many orders too, both from .co.uk and .com and they are always slow, in fact I've been waiting a week for a current order. Within 2 days from the States is almost miraculous.

I have also had no problems with Penguin Magic. If I place an order on Monday, it is shipped by Tuesday and I will have it by Thursday.

My recent order arrived today, and that was very quick - however with my last order i was allowed to order Secret Files even though it was out of stock - I was given a store credit, which allowed me to buy the order i got today, and was pleased to see inside was Secret Files, volume 1.
Still waiting for Secret Files, Volume 2. Been waiting 5 weeks - i'll e-mail them again, to see if its on its way!!

How on earth did you get allowed to order an out of stock item? I wish I could!
