Q. How is ordering handled, and what forms of payment do you accept?

A. Everything is sold via Paypal, a convenient way to make online purchases. Through Paypal, you may pay with your credit card or with your Paypal account. We gladly accept check or money orders through the mail via our order form. Simply print out and mail with payment to Beach Cuisine, Inc. Since the company is located in California, we must collect 7.75% sales tax on all orders placed in California.

Q. Can I mail you a check for my purchase rather than use the online shopping cart?

A. Yes. Simply print out the order form, fill out and send in your payment to us. Orders are processed when they are received. If you fill in your email address on the form, we can send you order confirmation and order shipping notifications. On the form, add shipping charges as per the shipping chart below, and add sales tax if you're from California. All orders from California have a 7.75% sales tax.

Q. How much do you charge for shipping?

A. Here is our shipping chart:

Our rates may change at any time. Current charges:

Note: These prices are not for cards, artwork or BC Specialty Product lines.
Click here for information on those items.

Q. What is the extra shipping charge for irregular or over sized items?

A. Due to new UPS and USPS shipping costs and the irregular sizing of certain items, an extra flat fee of 10.00 must be added to the shopping cart of all items that are heavy or irregular in size. Unfortunately, our low shipping charges do not cover the shipping of these items. Read each page for more details. The same fee applies to single items or multiple items (add only once to your shopping cart).

All orders without the extra shipping fee will be billed. If paying via mail order, please add this to your order. If you place an order and do not add the shipping fee to your shopping cart, and we will bill you. If the billed invoice is not paid within two weeks, the order will be refunded in its entirety and the order will be cancelled.

Each product page that requires an extra shipping charge has a button. You can also find it here:

Extra Shipping Charge for Irregular or Over Sized Items

Q. Can I place an order with a PO Box for a shipping address?

A. Yes, you can. Unless very heavy or bulky, items are generally shipped via USPS Priority Mail.

Q. When and how are orders processed?

A. Orders are processed when they are received. Note some items may not be in stock with us or our vendors, so please allow two weeks from time ordered to delivery to your address, although you may receive your package sooner. Some items are special order; see item description for any special details. For international orders, please allow at least three weeks for delivery. Shipments will be sent via USPS or UPS, or FedEX; we'll choose the best shipping for value for you. At this time, express or overnight delivery is not available. UPS or FedEX ground will be used for heavier or very bulky packages. International orders will be sent Global Priority if under 4 pounds and Global Airmail if over 4 pounds.

Q. Can my package be tracked? And how are they shipped?

A. At this time, USPS does not provide real time tracking for orders. We do send out shipping details when packages are sent where you can find out carrier receipt of item shipped and Delivery Confirmation. We use the email that is associated with the Paypal online purchase transaction, as well as the address you used for it, so be sure the email and address inputted are correct and updated. As previously stated, we send out order confirmation and order shipment emails, using the email associated with your Paypal transaction. We are not responsible for emails not going through or being returned as undeliverable or mail box full.

Q. Why do you use USPS at this time for most of your shipping?

A. We use USPS because some of our customers choose to have their items delivered to a postal post office address. Our Alaskan, Hawaiian and Military customers have found it convenient as some businesses only ship in the continental US, and some carriers impose a surcharge. Also, we do international orders and our international customers have found that duties imposed via other carriers is just too much for them. We have found USPS Priority Mail to be reliable and efficient, and while we may in the future change the service who ships our packages, at this time the majority of the items will be sent via USPS Priority Mail. International mail service is either USPS Global Priority or USPS Global Airmail (if over 4 pounds).

Q. Can you fill orders from the Military, and from Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Guam?

A. All US Military service and US Territories are all considered part of the US and no additional charges will apply. Simply follow the shipping charges table above for the amounts. But, please allow 3 weeks for delivery for shipping to certain areas since it may take longer to get to you.

Q. I'm from out of the US. Can I place an order?

A. Yes. All orders placed outside of the US now will be charged a simple flat fee for shipping. This applies to international orders only, and no additional fees will be added (the current charge is 35.00 US, no matter what the total order is). Your items will be shipped via Global Priority or Global Airmail, depending on how much the package weighs. Please allow 3 weeks for delivery.

For Our Foreign Customers:
We welcome customers outside of the US. For orders outside the US, a flat shipping charge of 35.00 dollars US will be added automatically to your shopping cart. International orders include those from Canada and Mexico. Please allow 3 weeks delivery. All US Military service and US Territories are all considered part of the US and no additional charges will apply. But, please allow 3 weeks for delivery for shipping since it may take longer to get to you. International orders will be sent Global Priority if under 4 pounds and Global Airmail if over 4 pounds.

Q. Can an item be returned?

A. We want you to be happy and we work hard to personalize each order. In the event that you are not satisfied or simply change your mind, returns are as follows: Returns are issued if item has not been used. They need to be sent to our business address. Place packing slip with item(s) and circle item(s) being returned and list reason on bottom of slip. Refunds will be made by company check, minus shipping charges (the actual price of item). Note there are no returns for artwork, stickers & vinyls, note cards& card sets, customized items and frames. All sales are final after 14 days from delivery and all items must be in resalable condition.

Q. How can I reach you?

A. You can reach us via email, phone, fax or post. We really welcome all comments about the site. It's because of those that write with comments that we constantly update our site making it better and easier to navigate for everyone, so thanks!
