Shipping Policy

Stamper’s Boat Barn ships outboard motors, MerCruiser engines and parts, and used boats across the United States. This page explains how we process, package, and deliver your order.

1. Order Processing
Orders are processed within [1–2] business days after payment is confirmed (Monday–Friday, excluding holidays). Orders placed after [cutoff time] or on weekends begin processing the next business day. You’ll receive a confirmation email at checkout, followed by a tracking notification once your item ships. Used motors, MerCruiser engines, and boats may need additional prep time for final inspection before shipment — we’ll note this at checkout if it applies.

2. Shipping Costs[Decision needed: free domestic shipping, or flat/calculated rate? Given your product mix skews toward heavier freight items (motors, engines, boats) more than small parts, I’d lean toward calculated freight rates for motors/boats and free or flat-rate for small parts — but this affects your margins, so it’s your call.]

3. Carriers & Methods
Small parts ship via standard carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS). Outboard motors, MerCruiser engines, and boats ship via freight carrier with secure crating. Freight deliveries require a physical street address — no P.O. boxes — and may require liftgate service for residential delivery.

4. Estimated Delivery Times
Continental US: [3–10] business days, depending on item size and destination. Delivery estimates don’t include weather delays, carrier backlogs, or freight scheduling.

5. Signature & Inspection Requirements
Signature required on deliveries over $500 or containing a complete motor/engine. Inspect your item at delivery — note any visible damage directly on the delivery receipt and photograph it, then contact us within 48 hours so we can file a carrier claim.

6. Damaged or Lost Shipments
All shipments are insured for purchase value. Report damage within 48 hours with photos; we’ll handle the freight claim and arrange a replacement or refund. Our liability is limited to the item’s purchase price.

7. Shipping Restrictions
Oversized items (motors, engines, boats) cannot ship to P.O. boxes or APO/FPO addresses. Address accuracy is the buyer’s responsibility — incorrect addresses may incur re-routing fees.

8. Returns
See our Returns & Warranty policies for eligibility. Original shipping costs are non-refundable except when the error is ours.
