Default Good magic stores?

Well,my first thread.I think its the right place...
Last year,looking for magic supplies on the web,I found www.asmagia.com (im spanish)
I 'bought' some books and decks,hoping that the package would arrive in 24 hours.Im an idiot.They just took the money.I looked over the web and I discovered that the web was a scam.Goodby 130 bucks.
Did something similar happened to anyone?If so,please write them to help ppl avoid them.
Can u guys advice me some safe and trusted webs?
Is this web safe(LOLZ)?

That sounds really wrong to me, and the website looks pretty legit, did you email them or contact them in any way about not receiving your stuff?

It's weird that a scam website that has existed since 2004 still is out there. Also, I cannot find any information on AsMagia.com being in Mexico nor of them being sued. However, the laws don't matter as Mexican laws still are on your side in this case, and the website's servers are located in the United States. Going to the police and reporting it really is the only way to go. If someone gets sued for stealing your friend's stuff and the next week this person steals your stuff, you would also go to the police regardless of your friend already having sued the thief, not?

As for good stores, in Europe http://worldmagicshop.com is well-established. In Spain, you have http://www.librosdemagia.com/, http://seleccionesmagicas.es/ and some other options. As Spain of all countries has the biggest school of magic and most magic festivals, there shouldn't be a problem for you finding whatever you want.

If I may also add, I think a decent site is www.emagicsupply.com They do free worldwide shipping. Their prices are not as great as some others, but for those who don't live in the US or UK (as most renown magic sites are based in), the lack of shipping cost is really great. I've ordered from them before, all was good.
