BeachSheetz Microfiber Outdoor Sheet

I just used it for the first time last week and it worked perfectly for me. It is a bit heavier then I thought but not too heavy. Love that the sand comes off pretty easily and it folds back into the built in backpack. Also that the ends are already weighed down so I dont have to fill it with sand like some of the other product. Like that there is extra room in the backpack to hold wallets, sunglasses etc...

This project was the biggest waste of time and money I have ever spent. Useless product and not as advertised, Over priced as well. You can make this same thing at Hardware store for about 10 or 15 bucks , They already make them and sell them cheap,, They are called tarps. Worthless, scam, rip off, horrible service. These guys need to reimburse everyone for this crap.

@courtney - that’s fair, hope they fix their mistake for you

@Laura Milstein - I wouldn't have been upset if they hadn't sent me pink when I requested blue/green as a gift, was told they couldn't exchange it but I could return it, spent $34 to return it, and haven't received any refund. If they had exchanged or actually refunded I would have been pleased. Instead I have no product and no money.

Never received in Australia. Please refund. Sounds like product too heavy to ship. Please refund to my PayPal account.

I've been lagging in returning my product. It is just to heavy. I want to make sure that I will still get a refund. Please reply and confirm that if I send my product back to the address in your last update, that you will in fact refund me. I do not want to spend the time, effort, & money to return a product I do not want only to be out of shipping twice and not even have a product in hand. I have already emailed info@beachsheetz.com back on April 27th about this but have yet to receive a reply which is why I'm writing here also. Please get back to me. Thank you.

I use this product all the time. It’s great - I honestly don’t understand why so many people are upset with it. Personally, I love it.

I used it for the first time a few weeks back. Shit product. Is a heavy bulky tarp. That's all.

Hi I did not receive my item. I have stopped funding Kickstarter projects as this happens too often. Was this a scam? Does anyone greet a reply? How do I connect these people?

When can i get it?

OK, so at this point, I've received something I did not order (wrong colors they 'couldn't' make right), spent $34 to return it a month and a half ago with the understanding return shipping wouldn't be covered, and now I have no product, no refund, and am basically just out $34 MORE than if I had gotten no product? Come on guys.

I'm waiting on my refund as well

Items returned on 7th February, still no refund !

I tried to change my address in October but I don't know if anything was ever sent out.

I just got a US tax invoice from something delivered in November £20 extra on top of the original invoice! Took me a while to work out what the invoice was for as it was such a long time ago. They're ok and will do a job, just far too expensive for what they are.

Received this tarp, will try to find a way to use it as I opened the plastic bag to see what was so heavy.
Im thinking maybe as a tent for my grandchildren?

Hi Austin!
Wanted to touch base about the refund. I have returned the beachsheetz it was delivered in TX on 29th of January. Please let me know when I should expect the credit back in the cc account. Thank you

I've been putting the BeachSheetz through it's paces... Yeah... Sucker is heavy, but it functions nicely . Yes the top is not microfiber, it still doesn't feel too bad though. I've used it on the beach several times and at the park and it's grown on me. Other than sand sticking a bit on the bottom side and having to shake it off, it's worked beautifully.
Thinking about it, if it were microfiber you'd have a lot of things sticking onto it and you'd actually have to consider washing it often to keep it clean. There's no way to have a beach blanket material and be able to keep weight down and make it stuffable without it being even more cumbersome. They messed up by not saying so ( or maybe they did and I missed it )
No I'm not with them. I'm actually one of those who was pretty upset at the undisclosed changes. All I'm saying is give it a chance... It's not too bad. Now, how they've handled things... That's on them...

Hi, Checking back in because I have never received my pledge item. Am I expected to still receive one? There hasn't been any communication lately. I don't mind receiving the product in whatever state it is in. Otherwise please refund my payment of $47. Thanks,
Colin

I sent the back the beachsheetz it arrived in TX on Monday when should I expect the refund? Thank you

Just want to let you know that not everyone is unhappy. My son who lives in LA finally had warm enough weather (and time to go to Malibu) to use the Beachsheetz I bought him. He sent me photo and told me he really liked it and found it very easy to store after use. My other son and his fiance were with him when he opened his Beachsheetz and agreed about its usability and packability.

hi everyone, I never received the stuff. Wrote an e-mail to these guys. No response so far.

@David S of BeachSheetz: thanks for the prompt response to my email today. You have been sincere and professional and seem prompt in your action. I thank you in advance. Next time perhaps you should manage the updates to the community!

To add insult they are already campaigning on crowditzcom and growthfountain.com for money and investors-in case anyone wants to post messages on those boards to forewarn new investors. They should have plenty of money since they won’t be refunding the majority as they will not refund unless “unopened” which is totally ridiculous as you have to open to try it. We were lucky and a friend showed us theirs before we got ours so didn’t even bother to open. Although still waiting on refund and shipper signed for returned over a week ago.

Last Comment We helped you and trusted you by putting our money up front. You delivered something else, late. Then, you asked us to return the product, in ORIGINAL packaging, for your quality check before CONSIDERING refund. How about this. First, you refund us. After we receive and check for the amount in full and in the correct currency. We, then, consider returning your product. Actually, I won't send you back the product. I won't give you the opportunity to launch another scam campaign, and send our returns to other people.

I want a refund for a product that I never received and am fairly certain that I will be very unhappy with if I do based on all the other comments.

For Sale . Two Blue Green Tarps. Its too expensive to send in for a refund and because of the lack of communication and poor management from this company I would prefer to sell them directly to someone that has a need for these. The company will not take back opened sheets as well but there was no way to see what the product was if you didn't open it. Ridiculous. Anyway, Make me an offer, Items are in France and it would be best if the buyer is in Europe as the shipping fees overseas makes it hardly worth the transaction. Make me an offer with shipping included. Cheers, Joe

Hello all Backers. I have two blue and green tarps or whatever color they want to call it. I opened one and it is unused. I am located in France so if there is anyone in Europe that wants these I would be happy to sell them to you. I think the shipping costs to send this kind of weight overseas is not worth my investment in the end. Make me an offer including shipping from France and I have two blue and green industrial Beach Tarps for you.

Why can't I return an opened item, How am I supposed to know that it was an overpriced, overweight tarp before opening it. It's not used just opened and impossible to fold and pack the way it came because of the inexcusable design. You guys really blew it and sold us something that was not advertised. Worst Kickstarter project of the year.

I still did not receive my sheets. Everybody is saying it's trash and that they got the wrong colors. Starting to get hopeless about it :( Ps.: I live in Brazil so I'll probably have to pay a LOT on taxes for a bad product.

So if u opened it you can't return it but u wouldn't know it was a tarp and not a sheet if u didn't open it . Makes plenty of sense. And given how heavy it is not sure how much I would net returning this thing anyways.

I have not received anything yet. When will my order arrive?

I did receive my Beachsheetz. It's far heavier than expected. I don't believe I will ever use this because it's not realistic to carry it anywhere.

I sent an email requesting refund.

I want a refund. I don’t even care if I need to pay to send it back. I won’t use this for anything. It is trash or send it back and get some of the money back.

Another scam Kickstarter pledge I fell for. Too heavy to take on an aircraft and just plain shite.
Nothing else to say, look shit, feel shit and too bloody heavy. Oh and try getting it back in the bag, wtf.

are there any track and trace or any way of knowing wherever it's on the way?
still waiting for mine.

I ordered two of these, one for me and one for my friends. They were not what I was expecting. BUT! I live in Dominican Republic. These are perfect to use on the beach on a windy day. The texture is very nice to lay on it. I also took it to the mountains and used it as a cover for my tent and to cover things on top of a donkey during the rain and it also worked out perfectly. The idea with the weights is perfect. The idea with the integrated backpack and hidden pocket is perfect. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!!! THANK YOU, CREATORS!!!!!! I love it and my friends love it!!!

@Daniel - I am still awaiting a reply and hopefully instructions and address for a complete refund as well. @Joe- I feel your pain as mine were to be Christmas gifts also but no way I could give these as gifts. I tried giving away also with no takers. Hopefully refunds will be applied. We live in Florida and the only use we came up with was for a painting tarp or hurricane tarp-quite expensive ones!! @Austin & Dave-
It is going on almost a month with no “KS community update”. Perhaps another update to your backers is in order, especially to those wanting a refund. Yes many of us have emailed directly to info@beachsheetz as you requested and are still awaiting follow up. Thx in advance.

I personally love this product. The weight doesn’t bother me and it works great

Has anyone actually been given an address to which they can return the items ?

To anyone who has not received there Overweight Tarp yet or is considering, Cancel now or see if you can block payment with your CC or even go so far as to report fraud. You are paying for a falsely advertised overweight Tarp at best. No way in hell would I ever travel with this as baggage weight and restrictions are already tight. To lay on this thing in the sun would be about as comfortable as laying on a garbage bag. You will still need to bring a towel and or a throw to the beach with you. While traveling this summer I bought a 10 Euro African beach throw that is twice the size and half the weight on the coast of spain. I was reluctant to buy it because I spent all my money on this ridiculous scam run by some really poor management and decisions team. I don't know who actually looked at this final product and thought it was a good idea to send out. Anyway for the price of 2 of these ridiculous tarps I could of bought almost 15 really nice blankets with way berttter colors while on the coast in Spain. Bummer. The second sheet I bought for a gift but I am to embarrassed to give it to someone as it is a waste of space . As for the claims from this company about weight, material and the fact that you can put other items in the bag, all lies, absolute horseshit. After you open the Tarp, Not the sheet because its not the sheet they promised, it is a tarp, bulky and not the most friendly of materials for the skin in hot temps, you can no longer put it back in the bag even remotely close to the way it was packed. Its a houdini trick to stuff the tarp back in the bag. So a couple of questions, #1, Since we were all scammed by this misleading campaign, the 3rd and last kickstaarter I will fund, Been Duped 3 times now on 3 different campaigns and still have not learned, Anyway, Has anyone found a practical use for this ridiculous item? I'm to embarrassed to gift it, really embarrassed to show it to anyone and explain that I actually paid for it as well and how much it cost. Any bright ideas out there? #2, How the hell do you get it back in the bag after you open it? It took me about 15 minutes the first time I tried and its a bulky stuffed disaster, You can't put anything in the bag after the tarp is stuffed. #3 All the folks that have commented that they actually like this piece of shit scam of a tarp, (there are not many of you compared to the pissed off folks) Would you like to buy my sheets? Since this company is a bunch of crooks, that pulled off a really nice scam and will not honor returns for false advertising I am offering my sheets at a mega discount. 25 Euros per sheet plus shipping for all you beach sheet lovers. You can't even get that kind of pricing for being loyal to these crooks and actually leaving them good feedback. I have 2 sheets available in the purple and green or whatever color they call it. Green corners for ridiculously heavy weights that these num nut designers actually thought was practical for traveling, transporting, carrying and there dumb idea of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, Item is in France, I will mail as a gift to whoever wants them so there will be no import tax. So ashamed of this company and myself for being duped for the 3rd and last time on a kickstarter project. I hope the creators feel embarrassed and should refund and all profits to the backers, then just quit, Your not cut of this, Go back to your real life jobs and leave the pipe dream to some honest folks. I really hope no one bought into the BS and invested in this crap ass company. Given the communication and missed deadlines this company portrayed throughout the campaign, You would of had of been even dumber than those of us that invested in this campaign to begin with. completely ashamed and embarrassed that I participated in this overweight Tarp scam. Ughhhh

I've just sent off a second email in some strange hope that they actually at least respond.

I sent my email on 12/12 right after (same evening) I got the wrong colored product and they posted the update telling people to email. I still haven’t heard a word back and we’re in the new year now.

I sent multiple emails to info@beachsheetz.com, they did answer but did not solve my problem.

@josh, glad you got a response, still no reply here, I appreciate it’s Christmas but I need a reply regarding my return ASAP as I am not prepared to pay the ridiculous duty charges on items that are a) the incorrect colour, b) not what was advertised and c) the value amount on the airway bill is actually higher than the value of my pledge !!
