FedEx Shipping

All merchandise except for oversized items (e.g. Flat screen LED TVs over 55" and plasma TVs over 51") advertised on Beachcamera.com are usually shipped via FedEx.

All packages shipped from Beachcamera.com require a signature upon delivery. Please arrange for someone to sign for the delivery if you are unable to do so. We recommend that you provide an email address so that we may keep you informed of the status of your order and send you tracking information. You will be able to track your order online or by phone for an estimated time of arrival. FedEx will attempt to deliver your package three times before returning it to Beachcamera.com

United States Postal Service (USPS) Shipping

Small items such as memory cards may be shipped by the Post Office.

If the destination address is a PO Box or an APO/FPO, we will ship your order via USPS since FedEx is unable to deliver to those destinations. We will provide tracking information via email after your order has shipped. Items delivered to a PO Box or an APO/FPO will be delivered in 7 - 10 business days. Final delivery for APO/FPO destinations will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of the APO/FPO services. Not all items can be shipped via USPS.

Oversized Merchandise Shipping

Oversized merchandise (Flat screen LED TVs over 55", plasma TVs over 51", BBQ Grills & Furniture) are shipped via a motor freight carrier that specializes in Home Delivery. Since these items are large and fragile, special handling is required, and cannot be shipped via our standard shipping options.

We take every precaution during our shipping preparation process to ensure that your order arrives to you in perfect condition. Each item on your order is scanned for accuracy of model and serial number. We apply large orange fragile sticker labels to notify the carrier that your shipment is fragile and requires special handling. The labels also include important step-by-step instructions on how to inspect and sign for your shipment. In addition to the manufacturer's standard foam and corrugated packaging, we also apply a special shock absorption polyethylene material to the outer carton of every TV. This safeguard will disperse energy from impact during transit, and eliminate damage to the product itself. Our professional appointment-based delivery service allows you to open and inspect your new TV prior to signing and accepting the TV. When you purchase a TV at Beachcamera.com, you can be sure that it will arrive perfect working order, and will remain that way for a long time to come.
