This Shipping Policy explains how we process, ship, and deliver marine engines, marine generators, outboard motors, propulsion systems, gearboxes, engine controls, marine spare parts, and accessories purchased through our website.
Due to the size, weight, value, and handling requirements of many marine products, shipping arrangements are carefully planned to ensure safe transportation and accurate delivery estimates.

Order processing may include:

Certain products may require additional preparation time due to:

- Special packaging requirements
If additional preparation time is required, the estimated schedule will be communicated before shipment.

The most appropriate shipping method is selected based on the order and confirmed with the customer before dispatch.

Packaging may include:
- Heavy-duty pallets

- Reinforced cartons
- Export-grade wooden crates
- Moisture protection (where applicable)
Large marine engines, generators, and propulsion equipment are packaged according to manufacturer and freight carrier handling requirements.

OceanPro Marine Parts proudly supplies customers worldwide.
For international shipments, customers may be responsible for:

Where required by applicable law, sales tax may be collected during checkout.
Any applicable taxes will be clearly displayed before the customer completes their purchase.
8. Order Tracking
Tracking information is provided whenever available.
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive shipping confirmation together with available tracking details so you can monitor your shipment’s progress.
9. Risk of Loss
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, responsibility for the shipment transfers to the customer once the order has been handed to the shipping carrier.
Customers purchasing high-value equipment are encouraged to arrange cargo insurance if additional protection during transit is desired.
10. Delivery Delays
While we strive to meet estimated delivery times, delays may occasionally occur due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including:
- Carrier delays
- Severe weather
- Customs inspections
- Port congestion
- Regulatory requirements
- Natural disasters
- Force majeure events
Estimated delivery dates are provided for guidance only and should not be considered guaranteed delivery dates.

If the shipment arrives with visible damage:
- Note the damage on the carrier’s delivery receipt before signing.
- Take photographs of the packaging and product.
- Contact OceanPro Marine Parts as soon as possible.
If concealed damage is discovered after unpacking, customers should notify both the shipping carrier and OceanPro Marine Parts promptly to allow the claims process to begin.
12. Incorrect Shipping Information
Customers are responsible for providing accurate shipping and contact information.
OceanPro Marine Parts is not responsible for delays or additional shipping charges resulting from incorrect addresses or incomplete delivery information supplied during checkout.

If a shipment cannot be delivered due to an incorrect address, refusal of delivery, failure to arrange collection, or inability to receive the shipment, additional storage, return shipping, or redelivery charges may apply.
