Effective Date: October 13, 2026
At Scott Marine Outboard, we aim to ensure that every outboard motor is prepared and shipped with care. This Shipping Policy explains our order processing procedures, shipping arrangements, delivery estimates, shipping costs, and procedures for reporting delivery issues.
By placing an order through our website, you acknowledge the shipping terms outlined below, subject to your mandatory statutory rights.
1. Shipping Destinations
Scott Marine Outboard accepts delivery enquiries for destinations in Europe and other international locations, subject to product availability, carrier coverage, and applicable shipping requirements.
Before placing an order, customers should confirm that delivery is available to their destination.
International shipments may require additional documentation, customs clearance, import declarations, or other arrangements depending on the destination country.
2. Order Processing Time
Orders are prepared for shipment after the purchase details have been confirmed and the required payment has been received, unless alternative written arrangements have been agreed.
Processing time may vary depending on:
- Product availability and inspection requirements.
- Payment verification.
- Packaging and handling requirements.
- Transport arrangements and documentation.
- Public holidays and operational circumstances.
If an unexpected delay affects an order, we will communicate relevant information to the customer.
Order processing time is separate from the carrier’s transit time.
3. Shipping Methods
Outboard motors may require specialised handling because of their weight, dimensions, mechanical components, and packaging requirements.
Depending on the product and destination, shipping may be arranged through an appropriate freight carrier, road transport provider, or other suitable delivery service.
The shipping method will be confirmed during the purchasing process.
Customers should provide accurate delivery details, including the recipient’s name, address, telephone number, and any access or unloading requirements relevant to the shipment.
4. Shipping Costs
Shipping charges depend on several factors, including:
- The size, weight, and quantity of the engines ordered.
- The collection and delivery locations.
- The selected transport method.
- Packaging and handling requirements.
- Any applicable customs or special-delivery charges.
Shipping costs will be communicated before the order is finalised.
Unless expressly included in the agreed purchase price, additional transport-related charges may apply. Any charges payable by the customer will be disclosed as required by applicable law.
5. Estimated Delivery Times
Delivery estimates depend on the destination, carrier, transport method, customs procedures, and other factors outside our direct control.
An estimated delivery timeframe will be provided when sufficient shipping information is available.
Delivery dates are estimates unless a specific date has been expressly agreed. We will communicate material delays where required by law.
If delivery cannot be completed within the agreed or legally applicable timeframe, customers will retain any cancellation or other rights available under applicable law.
6. Packaging and Shipment Preparation
Before dispatch, outboard motors will be prepared for transport using packaging and handling arrangements appropriate to the product and the selected shipping method.
Customers should confirm any special handling, lifting, or unloading requirements before the shipment is arranged.
Where relevant, customers should ensure that suitable equipment and personnel are available to receive and unload heavy or bulky items.
7. Tracking and Delivery Updates
Where tracking is available, the relevant tracking information will be provided to the customer once it has been issued by the carrier.
Tracking updates depend on the carrier’s systems and may not appear immediately after dispatch.
Customers should monitor the shipment and ensure that someone is available to receive the delivery when required.
If tracking information is unavailable or a shipment appears delayed, please contact our team for assistance.
8. Customs Duties and Import Taxes
International orders may be subject to import duties, VAT, customs clearance charges, or other government-imposed fees.
Responsibility for these charges depends on the agreed delivery terms and applicable law.
Before completing an international purchase, customers should confirm whether the quoted price includes applicable taxes, customs clearance, and delivery to the final destination.
Customers are encouraged to check the import requirements of their destination country before placing an order.
9. Receiving and Inspecting Your Delivery
Customers should inspect the shipment as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.
Where possible, check the packaging and product for:
- Visible transport damage.
- Missing accessories or components.
- Incorrect items or quantities.
- Differences between the delivered product and the order confirmation.
If damage or a discrepancy is identified, take photographs of the packaging and affected items and contact us promptly with your order number and supporting information.
If the carrier requests a damage report or delivery notation, customers should follow the carrier’s reasonable reporting procedure where possible.
Failure to report an issue immediately does not remove any mandatory consumer rights or legal remedies.
10. Failed or Missed Deliveries
Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery information and ensuring that the recipient can accept the shipment.
If delivery fails because of an incorrect address, an unavailable recipient, or other circumstances attributable to the customer, additional delivery arrangements or charges may be necessary, where permitted by law and the agreed terms.
If a delivery attempt fails, customers should contact us or the carrier using the information provided in the shipping notification.
Any additional charges will be communicated before they are incurred where required by law.
11. Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Shipments
If a shipment is lost, significantly delayed, or delivered with apparent damage, customers should contact Scott Marine Outboard as soon as possible.
Please provide:
- Your order number.
- The shipping or tracking reference, if available.
- A description of the issue.
- Photographs or other supporting documentation, where relevant.
We will review the information and coordinate with the carrier as appropriate.
Responsibility for loss or damage, including the point at which risk passes to the customer, will be determined by the applicable purchase terms and mandatory law. Nothing in this policy excludes liability where such exclusion is prohibited.
12. Delivery Restrictions
Some locations may be subject to transport restrictions, carrier limitations, customs requirements, or other delivery conditions.
We may need to confirm the feasibility and cost of delivery before accepting an order for certain destinations.
If delivery becomes impossible after an order has been accepted, we will contact the customer to discuss the available options and any refund or cancellation rights under applicable law.
