HOW WE SHIP
Every engine, transmission, and outboard motor we sell is prepared for transport with the same care we put into testing it. Nothing leaves our facility unprotected.
Freight items (engines, outboards, transmissions) are shipped as follows: — Drained of fluids, sealed, and inspected before packing — Mounted and secured to a wooden pallet — Wrapped, foamed, and boxed in a protective crate — Strapped and labelled for freight handling
Smaller parts and accessories ship in reinforced, padded packaging.
-
SHIPPING METHODS
We ship within the European Union and to selected destinations worldwide.
— Standard freight (pallet delivery) — the default for engines and outboard motors, with curbside delivery by freight carrier — Parcel delivery — for parts and accessories — Personal pickup — possible by appointment at our address in Vlaardingen, The Netherlands
Personal pickup is free. For pickup orders, please contact us in advance to schedule a time — your unit will be ready, checked, and waiting.

DELIVERY TIMES
Estimated delivery times from the moment your order ships:
— Netherlands & Belgium: 1–2 business days — Germany, France, Poland, and most of the EU: 2–5 business days — Rest of Europe: 3–7 business days — Outside Europe: on request — contact us for a quote
These are estimates, not guarantees. Freight transit times can vary with carrier schedules and customs processing. If a delay affects your order, we will inform you proactively — before you have to ask.
-
SHIPPING COSTS
Shipping costs depend on the size, weight, and destination of your order.
— Small parts & accessories: calculated at checkout — Engines, transmissions & outboard motors: quoted per order — the exact cost is always confirmed in writing before you pay
No hidden fees. The total you approve on your invoice is the total you pay. Shipments within the EU carry no customs charges.
-
TRACKING
Every shipment includes tracking. You receive your tracking number by email as soon as the order leaves our facility, so you can follow your engine’s journey door to door.
-
INSURANCE
All freight shipments are fully insured for the value of the goods from the moment they leave us until the moment they reach you. Your purchase is protected the entire way.
-
INSPECTING YOUR DELIVERY
Freight items travel far — please take one minute at delivery:
— Inspect the crate before signing — Note any visible damage on the delivery receipt — Photograph any damage before the driver leaves — If in doubt, sign “received with reservation”
Damage reported at the moment of delivery is fully covered. Claims for damage signed for as “received in good condition” cannot be accepted by the carrier — and therefore not by us.
-
DAMAGED OR LOST SHIPMENTS
If something goes wrong in transit:
-
Report it to us immediately — within 48 hours of delivery for damage, or as soon as a loss is apparent
-
Keep all packaging and photos
-
We handle the claim with the carrier on your behalf
You will never be left fighting a freight company alone. That’s our job.
