International Buyers: We ship worldwide, therefore, it may take longer for shipments to arrive depending on where you are located outside of the United States. We primarily ship by USPS unless otherwise indicated in the item listing. Import duties, taxes and customs fees are not included in the item or shipping price. These charges are the buyers responsibility and are usually collected by the delivering shipping company, or when you pick up the item. Please do not confuse these charges for additional shipping charges from Long's Superstore. Prior to ordering or bidding, please contact your country's customs office to determine what these additional charges will be, if any. Also, unless it is a gift, we do not mark merchandise as a gift, or below value.

Long's Superstore offers many different items for purchase. Many of our items (except for magic trick items*) are refundable as follows:  If you receive an item (or items) and you are dissatisfied for any reason, please contact us within 30 days via email requesting a refund. We will issue you a Return Merchandise Authorization number (RMA) via return email. Package your return(s) including the RMA number and ship the product back to us postmarked within 5 business days after receiving the RMA number. The product must be in a resalable condition and in the original packaging. After we receive the item we will promptly refund your purchase price. The buyer must pay for return shipping. If any item is defective, we will replace the merchandise for the same item, or offer a refund, after the merchandise has been returned.  In an effort to control inventory properly, returns without a RMA number will not be accepted. If the item is no longer available, we will issue a merchandise credit or refund at your request.

*Magic Trick items are generally non-refundable. As a rule with any magic trick, the purchase price is for: the performance rights; the instructions which include the "secret" of the effect; and possibly any props necessary to perform the effect if not easily obtainable. However, if the product is defective, we will exchange it for the same item. Simply follow the return policy listed above. In addition, most media (since it can be duplicated) is non-refundable.

At that time, we will leave you positive feedback, regardless of what type of feedback we received. We want to earn your trust and repeat business.
