Shipping Policy

At HobbyBeach.com, we work directly with specialized manufacturers and logistics partners to bring you high-quality remote control vehicles, parts, and accessories at competitive prices.

1. Order Processing Time

  • Standard Processing: All orders are processed and verified within 2–4 business days (excluding weekends and major holidays).

  • Quality & Inspection: Because RC models require careful handling, every item undergoes quality inspection and secure packaging prior to international dispatch.

  • Tracking: Once dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing your tracking number. Tracking updates typically activate within 24–48 hours after carrier pickup.

2. Shipping Options & Delivery Estimates (United States)

We ship to all 50 U.S. states using dedicated direct-line air logistics (final delivery via USPS, FedEx, or local courier).

Product Type Estimated Shipping Time Total Estimated Delivery Time
Standard RC Toys & Parts (No loose batteries) 7–12 business days 9–16 business days

Note: Estimated delivery times are guidelines and are not guaranteed. Delays may occasionally occur due to customs clearance, weather conditions, or peak holiday seasons.

3. Shipping Restrictions & Special Conditions

Due to international aviation regulations regarding lithium batteries and sensitive electronics:

  • P.O. Boxes & APO/FPO Addresses: Orders containing standalone LiPo batteries or oversized RC models cannot be delivered to P.O. Boxes or military bases due to carrier restrictions. A physical residential or commercial street address is required.

  • Alaska, Hawaii, & U.S. Territories: Shipping times to non-contiguous U.S. states and territories may require an additional 3–7 business days.

4. Customs, Duties & Taxes

  • No Hidden Fees for U.S. Customers: Under current U.S. import guidelines (orders under $800 USD), orders are generally exempt from import duties and customs tariffs.

  • In the rare event that local customs fees or inspection charges apply, they are the responsibility of the customer.

5. Order Tracking & Delivery

Once your order ships, you can track your package using the link in your shipment confirmation email.

If your order has not arrived within 25 business days from the dispatch date, please contact us at [Your Support Email] with your order number so we can investigate with the carrier.

6. Damaged, Lost, or Missing Items

RC products feature delicate electronic components and sensitive bodies:

  • Damaged on Arrival: If your package arrives visibly damaged or the RC model is defective upon opening, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos/videos of the package and item.

  • Lost Packages: A package is considered lost if tracking shows no updates for 15 consecutive business days or if the carrier confirms non-delivery. We will offer a free replacement or a full refund for verified lost packages.
