Frequently Asked Questions

What are your shipping rates?

We charge a flat fee of $6.95.

We ship by USPS Priority Mail within the USA, and by Airmail letter rate abroad. See our Policy page for details.

How can I clean my bead costume?

We recommend hand washing in soapy water only.

Do not dry clean - the solvents may damage the beads. Do not attempt to clean in the dish washer - it will strip the color from the beads!

How can I join the Bead Man mailing list?

Just fill in your e-mail address and name on the right and click "Submit".

How can I leave the Bead Man mailing list?

Every email contains a link to allow you to remove yourself from the mailing list. You will receive no further newsletters at your address unless your request "crosses in the mail" with your last newsletter.

When I sign up for the Newsletter, how secure is my email address?

We will never sell, "rent out" or give away your email address.
We will only reveal your email address to third parties under court order.

We double check your email address to prevent someone else adding you to our newsletter list.
We do this by either:

• Automatically emailing you (once) for confirmation of your request, or
• Accepting a subscription request with an order validated by a credit card, or
• As part of a human-to-human conversation.

In order to send you the newsletter, we may share your email address with a mailing list provider (we currently use yourmailinglistprovider.com. We will only use providers whose privacy policy ensures your email address is secure.

We will never buy, rent or use email addresses supplied by third parties.
Many otherwise ethical companies do so, but using such lists encourages the unauthorized collection and distribution of email addresses.
