Highlights
Company Press
Founded in 1989 by John McManus.
Magellan's has been praised as:
"The nation's most respected
source of travel products by mail"
(Forbes) "The widest selection
of travel accessories currently
available from a single source"
(The Washington Post) "The
granddaddy of them all" (The
New Jersey Record). Magellan's has
been included on Inc. Magazine's
annual listing of the 500 fastest
growing privately held companies
in the United States for three years.
Prior to founding Magellan's, both
John and his wife, Gloria, traveled
extensively as executives at PanAm.
Products for the first Magellan's
catalog were gathered from their
own experiences as professional
travelers. Within two years, the
catalog had grown by 50% and a retail
store was opened in Santa Barbara.
Over the years, additional product
lines were added to Magellan's,
including travel clothing and products
designed for business travel.
Magellan's trains their staff on
all aspects of Magellan's products
and the special needs of international
travelers. John and Gloria attribute
the success of Magellan's to strict
adherence to the company's fundamental
principles: offering products of
the highest caliber, never compromising
superior customer service, and standing
behind every product with a 100%
guarantee of satisfaction. These
beliefs have brought Magellan's
national recognition for service
and products that is second to none.

Customer Reviews
Santa Barbara, CA - Gretchen
I have a very positive impression
of Megallan Travel Supplies. I wouldn't
hesitate to recommend them to a
friend (or anyone reading this).
Fort Lauderdale, FL - Yani
I found Megallan's website by accident
through a link. I was looking for
some things for my trip to Spain
and the site had what I wanted.
The quick follow up with a catalog
is really appreciated. I liked being
able to check on my order by tracking
it online.
Charlestown, MA - Rich
I have been purchasing travel items
and clothing from Magellan's for
several years. Not once has there
been a problem - they deliver what
they promise - excellent products,
unbeatable customer service, and
a fair price. What more can you
ask for?
