There are also Elves waiting to be adopted at Santa’s Official Elf Magic North Pole Supply Posts – you can visit one to choose your own Elf! You’ll know it’s an Elf Magic Elf when you see Santa’s snowflake on its heart.

Most orders are placed online at Elf-Magic.com. Elf Magic also accepts telephone orders at 877.ELF.MAGIC. Once placed, all orders will be shipped via UPS.

Most Standard and rush shipping to countries outside the United States (except Canada and Mexico) can be calculated through our website. Charge is based on value and dimension/weight of shipment. Shipping outside the United States sometimes requires charges in addition to the shipping and processing rates and recipients are required to pay customs and duties taxes on each shipment where applicable. Some countries assess a Brokerage Fee for handling the paperwork for customs. The order may require shipping in multiple boxes with duties and taxes applied to each box.

Elf Magic shipments are delivered via UPS or Standard USPS shipping. Shipping and Handling fees are based on the customer’s chosen shipping method, the weight of the total order, and the desired “ship to” location.
