Beach Camera

100% selective scammers. Very believable scam / fraud reviews going back over 15 years, too many to count. Here's mine.

They went to great lengths to try to scam me out of almost $2k, before I reported them to Amazon and the feds.

They very carefully replaced the $2k video projector I paid for with a $200 one. At BEST, they accepted a return "without looking at it," and then resold it to me (which is very much still fraud!)

When I reported it to them, they PATHETICALLY tried to blame FedEx or me. They were EXTREMELY ridiculous and unprofessional and condescending in their excuses and communication. Among other things, they PRETENDED not to understand that while they had scanned a NUMBER on the outer box, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether one of their employees swapped the product INSIDE the box. That was seriously their defense, "we scanned the number on the outside of the box." So incredibly stupid.

Their customer service agent repeatedly misspelled his own first name "Luiz" (his name is Luis, usually). Are they giving fake names?

They did NOT follow the process required by Amazon A to Z claims. It was ultimately through reporting them to multiple agencies for fraud and writing angry reviews all over the internet that they, finally, sheepishly TEXTED me LATE ONE NIGHT (it's AGAINST Amazon claim policy to communicate outside of Amazon) suddenly offering to refund in full. This was a VERY long time after I had returned their product to them.

Super Low Ratings and Poor Reviews On Multiple Sites (Yelp, BBB, Sitejabber, Walmart)

Must Read Prior To Purchasing With Beach Camera Same Day Shipping

Claim of Fraud Report Made To New Jersey Police Department’s Twitter Account

Customer's Experience - “Bait &  Switch”, “Received wrong, used, or refurbished item”, “Arrived damaged”, “Beach swapped item with similar looking older version”, “Beach won't respond”, “Major issue receiving refund”, etc.. 

This review is solely for “Beach Camera Same Day Shipping (3rd party seller for several large Marketplace sites)”, and is no reflection of any Marketplace site where this company is a “authorized seller”.  I've successfully purchased with the one used for many years, and once notified of my horrifying issues/ findings they assured me they'd handle it and immediately offered refund upon return.

Purchased "Used-Like New" Ninja Foodi (Op301) on 4/6/21 from Beach Camera Same Day Shipping . Product sent was (Op300), missing items, and used or refurbished. Given them benefit of doubt it was “in error”, and message seller request to send correct one. Seller responds asking if I'd accept "nice discount ($26.00)”. I thank for quick response, declined offer, and again asked to send what I ordered. Although they were quick to respond when they wanted me to accept an offer, they did not show same enthusiasm when  I chose not to. I tried to reach them a few more times but never heard a word after declining offer, I was ignored, ghosted, scammed. I wasn't alone…

I began to research Beach Camera Same Day Shipping and what I found was disturbing. So many complaints, poor reviews, and claims of being scammed. Here's just a small amount of reviews/ complaints regarding them...

I hope this information finds its way to all Marketplace Personnel and a serious investigation is launched to remove them from being an “trusted authorized seller”. I also hope it prevents anyone else from having to deal with issues behind this company.

Walmart should be ashamed for doing business with such a sketchy company.

they shipped promptly and the canon vixia camera was delivered in new condition as ordered.
