Hi Kuang
Thanks for bringing it up. This is something just newly implemented because though Magic Boutique is a legal, registered entity, we are only based
online and we're not a physical shop, even though we do have constant stock for magic staples and other goodies :) Please visit us at www.MagicBoutique.sg & look through the Q&A section, it should answer most of your questions.
I'm a full-time performer so arranging meet-ups (especially during peak season) can be tough as I need to make sure someone is in the studio at a certain time/ day hence the minimal 'fee' of $5. Most of the time people are late as well (traffic delays, etc.) so an allowance is needed. Essentially anyways, since we operate online (hence our good prices) we encourage shipping (we always send it via registered mail) just like any other reputable online store like Amazon, etc.
Please check out
About Us &
How to Order on Magic Boutique accordingly. I always like to receive feedback because customer service is of utmost importance :) ...Besides my philosophy of anti-piracy, of course *grin* Which I think anyone who truly knows me or who's been with SMC long enough would understand by now.
Do make use of the feedback form
here as I do not check the forums every day... I wish I could because I think SMC's a terrific magic forum (track record baby, nuff said) but my hectic schedule prevents me to ^_^
Thanks much.
CHEERS
