Racing Beat accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express for payment. All credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure link. All credit card numbers arrive "encrypted" in your web order and must be de-encrypted by our sales staff after the orders are recieved.

To minimize the risk of or credit card fraud against both Racing Beat and the authorized Cardholder, the following conditions apply:

1. Racing Beat will only ship an order to the address the issuing bank has on record for that particular card. Operating through our credit card terminal, our bank requires us to verify and confirm your name, address and zip code during the transaction authorization process.
2. We must have your phone number in order to contact you if there is a problem or question with your order.
3. We will ship credit card orders only to addresses in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. (The bank does not have the capability to verify name, address, and zip code for international addresses.)

We appreciate your cooperation. These security policies are beneficial to both Racing Beat and the authorized Cardholder.

Direct Payments

For direct payment, we recommend a bank-issued cashier's check or bank wire. Both personal and business checks require a three week waiting period from the date we DEPOSIT your check until the parts are shipped from our facility, thereby allowing for inter-bank, Federal Reserve, and postal transit time. If you would like to place an order and make a direct payment, contact Racing Beat for a price quote.

Shipping Schedule Guidelines

We retrieve all on-line orders before 12:00 noon (PST), Monday through Friday. Orders are shipped in the order they are received and are normally shipped within 2-3 business days. These guidelines apply only to stock on hand. If a part is not in stock, you will be contacted at the phone number provided on the order.

We ship all orders via United Parcel Service (UPS) - Ground. Deliveries normally take from 1-8 days once they leave our facility. If we have your e-mail address on file, you will be notified once the order has been shipped via a UPS notice with delivery and tracking information.

If you would like to make expedited shipping arrangements, contact a Racing Beat Sales Representative for further assistance at (714) 779-8677.
