We'll Match Any Lower Price.
To guarantee that you always get the lowest price, we'll match any lower price you find anywhere on an identical item up to 30 days after purchase. This guarantee does not include close-out specials or special order merchandise.

Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Buy from us with 100% confidence. No fine print, no static, no hassles. Any product you purchase from BoatU.S. is guaranteed 100%. If you're not satisfied with any item purchased from us, simply return it and we'll give you a replacement or refund. Products may be returned to a Marine Center or mailed back to our Returns Department (see order packing list for instructions). Product replacement will be for same model only. Refunds will be issued in the same form as original payment. Certain limitations on refunds issued directly by our Marine Centers may apply. Original proof of purchase is required on all returns. Refund of shipping charges is only applicable if product received is defective or incorrect due to our error. Special order merchandise is typically not returnable and manufacturer's restock fees may apply. Computer software products are not returnable unless unopened. Watches are not returnable due to battery failure.

Item Availability.
You'll notice that when you order an item, we give you the latest available information regarding its in-stock status: "In Stock" which means the item is available for shipment within one business day. "2-plus days" availability which indicates the item is in stock, however inventory levels are low and your order may not be fulfilled immediately. Or "Backordered" which indicates that item is out of stock and is on order from our supplier and is expected to be back in stock soon. In the event an item you order isn't immediately available at the time your order is processed (and it's regularly stocked), we'll ship the item to you by UPS Ground Service or Surface Parcel Post, wherever you need it, at our expense. Unexpected demand may cause certain products to be temporarily out of stock, but you'll be the first to receive the item when the next shipment arrives from our supplier. Your credit card will not be charged for the item until it's shipped to you.

Important Shipping Information.
We ship all in-stock items within one business day of receiving your order. Orders with either two-day or next day shipping received before 1PM ET Monday thru Friday are shipped the same day. We will email an order confirmation within one hour that will verify your order, include the shipping costs and any applicable taxes. This confirmation will also indicate any items that may have been out of stock at the time your order processed. To further protect the security of our customers and reduce the risk of fraudulent orders being processed, certain large dollar value orders will be delayed in processing. In this case, someone from our Customer Service Department will contact you to verify and confirm your order before it is released.

We ship all in-stock items within 24 hours of receiving your order. Orders processed after 1 PM ET Monday thru Friday and orders received Saturday or Sunday ship the next business day. We are unable to provide international shipping on-line, however. International customers should call 800-937-9307 or 727-524-1864 for shipping information prior to ordering. Due to greater length and width, some items are charged at the 30-lb. rate by UPS, regardless of their actual weight (e.g. fishing rods and antennas) and are labeled Oversize for UPS. If you cancel an order after it's been shipped or if you refuse delivery, you are still responsible for shipping charges.

Shipments of flammable or other hazardous materials such as certain paints, varnishes, flares, fire extinguishers and other items containing compressed gases are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation. We are unable to ship hazardous items to APO, FPO, or any other foreign addresses. Some hazardous items may be subject to surcharges of $20 for UPS Ground to $45 for Federal Express Priority. Other restrictions on the shipment of hazardous materials may apply, depending on the shipping method you choose. Call our 24/7 sales staff at 800-937-2628 for more information if you are ordering items marked hazardous shipping.

Shipping Methods.
We normally ship UPS Ground within the Continental U.S. Orders are shipped Priority Mail where UPS Ground is not available. If you have another preference, please make your choice from the available selections on the order form prior to submitting it.

Regarding Sales Taxes.
If there is a BoatU.S. Marine Center located in the state where your order is to be shipped, we will have to collect the applicable sales tax when your order is processed at our Catalog Sales Center. Your order confirmation email will include the amount of tax, if any.
