We offer free shipping on all orders within the United States and a simple $150 flat rate for international orders to select countries. This policy provides clear, transparent details on our shipping process so you can shop with confidence.
Please note: Outboard motors and large items are heavy and oversized, so we use specialized packaging and trusted freight carriers to ensure safe delivery. Every item is carefully inspected before shipment, especially used and refurbished motors, to guarantee it arrives in the described condition.
