FAQ

Product Options & Other Details

Do I have to purchase the entire kit? What if I just want select pieces?

Presently, the canasta traveler is only sold as a set; the doubledecker (included in the set) is available for individual sale because we realize that players like to have a second, or even third, set of cards to keep the pace of the game moving.

In the future, we hope to offer more products for individual sale- stay tuned!

Do you offer cards in poker size or with a jumbo index?

No, for now. And we get it—card players have their preferences. Trust us, we went into sourcing with our own! After testing our cards with many (opinionated!) players, we’re confident that you’ll love our cards and deckstand!

Why bridge size, standard index? It's all about the benefits: lighter weight, a more compact layout on the table, easier card management, and greater discretion while playing. Winner winner chicken dinner! (Fun fact: this phrase has its origins in gambling—look it up!)

Can I mix and match patterns for a custom canasta traveler set?

We LOVE a happy customer and will do our best to make your dreams come true (lol)! Contact us here.

Do product photos on the site match your products exactly?

Our photos give you a solid idea, but colors might look a bit different on your screen due to monitor settings and lighting. Since this is an outdoor product, sun or shade can also influence the way colors appear. There may be minor variations in color among individual products.

Are your products only for Canasta?

Not at all! Our products are versatile and can be used with nearly any card game—bridge, poker, gin rummy, euchre, hearts, spades, solitaire, pinochle, collectible card games—and even board games to keep cards and play money secure. Plus, they’re perfect for securing napkins or paperwork while you lounge on a chaise!

Ordering

How can I check the status of my order?

We’ll keep you in the loop with email updates, including tracking info as soon as your package ships. If you don’t receive an order confirmation shortly after placing your order, reach out to us.

Can I cancel or modify my order?

We're stoked about every order and work hard to fulfill and ship quickly. If you need to make any modifications, contact us pronto and we'll do our best to make it happen!

Do you offer gift cards?

Absolutely! Our digital gift cards are a perfect way to gift our products and let the recipient choose her favorite designs. They’re redeemable anytime and perfect for any occasion. They are also downloadable to an Apple Wallet.

On the gift card shop page, select 'send as a gift' to add the recipient's email and a personal message, or leave this option unchecked to have the gift card sent to your email for forwarding. Either way, we'll send a confirmation to your email after checkout.

Can I add a gift note to my order?

Yes! If you're sending physical product (rather than an e-gift card), simply leave your message in the cart notes at checkout.

Shipping

When will my order be shipped?

We may be a small team, but we’re big on getting your order to you fast! Most orders ship within 1-2 business days. If you place your order over the weekend or on a U.S. bank holiday, we'll process it the next business day. Orders placed over Thanksgiving weekend will ship the following Monday.

How will you ship my order and how can I track it?

UPS or USPS will be the trusty steed delivering your order. Sit back and relax until you receive the golden ticket email with tracking! Then you can stalk your Chick Magnets parcel on its journey to your door!

Delivery usually takes just 1 day to the Tri-State, 3-5 days to Florida, and 4-6 days to the West Coast- though these are just guidelines! Expedited shipping is also offered at checkout.

How much does shipping cost?

We're all about making your shopping experience a breeze! Enjoy free shipping on orders $150+ to a single address. For smaller hauls, we offer $6 flat rate shipping. Expedited shipping is available for an additional cost.

Please note, shipping fees are non-refundable in the event of returns.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet! For now, we only ship to addresses within the United States and we do not ship to P.O. Boxes.

I've opened my shipper box; where is all the single use protective plastic packaging?

Ah, where indeed?! We’ve made intentional choices during our design process to package our products in reusable, portable storage while minimizing single-use plastics and throwaway boxes. While this might mean a few slight imperfections here and there, we believe it’s a small price to pay for a greener planet!

What is your return policy?

We hope you love your Chick Magnets products as much as we loved creating them! However, if for any reason you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, we’ve got you covered.

Please note, Chick Magnets is not responsible for return shipping costs unless the item is faulty or damaged. Additionally, we are not liable for items lost in transit, so we recommend using a reliable, trackable shipping service and retaining proof of postage until your refund is processed.

Tips & Tricks

What is this about having a clean bottom for optimal play?

Ha! Our spinner and clickboards are designed to stick solidly to a surface while you manipulate cards or turn the tray. If the clickboards or spinner base start shifting, just wipe the white silicone bottoms with a damp cloth to remove debris and restore their grip. Press firmly onto the surface for best results!

What are my card storage options? Can I finally ditch tired rubber bands?

Absolutely, up your storage game! Store cards rubber band-free in either our deckstand or spinner tray. When using the tray, the patterned base (the “spindeck”) doubles as a cover. Just reposition the spindeck from the bottom of the tray to the top of the divider, where it will magnetize in place. Adding a click on top of the spindeck strengthens its hold, keeping your cards secure even when jostled. Place everything in the spinner box, then pop it in the carryall with the rest of your set. Don’t forget to check out the spinner video on our home page for a visual demonstration!

Any tips in collecting the 20 magnetic clicks for storage?

Clicks attract into a neat column based on polarity, with the brand mark facing the same direction. Rotate your collected column accordingly to attract any remaining clicks for an easy, breezy cleanup! (Sorry, it had to be said.)

Magnet Safety

Is the canasta traveler safe for air travel?

Sure thing! The canasta traveler meets FAA guidelines and just may become your favorite flight companion! Our spinner is well-sized for airplane trays and keeps cards off public surfaces (like carpet at the gate- ugh!).

What precautions should I take with magnets?

All three parts of our spinner (spindeck, tray, doodad) and our clicks contain embedded magnets. We've gone to great lengths to ensure our products are safe for intended use and are compliant with consumer safety regulations. That said, should any magnets come loose from broken parts or otherwise, please contact us to arrange return shipping and safe recycling. We'll gladly replace broken products.

Though embedded, it's best to keep magnets away from pacemakers and other medical devices. The canasta traveler is intended for ages 14+.
