We Ship Australia-Wide

Whether you’re in suburban Sydney or a remote property in outback Queensland, we’ll get your motor or engine to you. We freight used outboard motors and JDM engines to all states and territories across Australia, metro, regional, and rural.

If you’re in Darwin or nearby, contact us about local pickup options.

We also ship internationally. See the International Shipping section below for details.

How We Ship Outboards and Engines

Outboard motors and JDM engines are heavy, awkward freight and they need to be handled properly. We don’t just slap a label on something and hope for the best. Every item is prepared for transit before it leaves us:

  • Drained of fuel and oil where required for safe transport
  • Secured to a pallet or in appropriate packaging to prevent damage in transit
  • Shipped via reputable freight carriers with experience in heavy and oversized goods
  • Covered by transit insurance for peace of mind

For complete JDM engine packages that include a transmission, wiring harness, or ECU, we pack each component separately within the crate so nothing shifts or gets damaged in transit.

We use trusted national freight partners and choose the carrier best suited to your location and the size and weight of the item.

Shipping Costs

Freight costs vary depending on the size and weight of the item and your delivery location. Outboard motors and complete engines are bulky items and don’t qualify for standard parcel rates. We won’t pretend otherwise.

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your postcode. For remote areas or unusual delivery requirements, we may contact you to confirm freight costs before processing your order.

If you’d like a freight estimate before purchasing, get in touch with us directly and we’ll sort one out for you.

Delivery Timeframes

Standard delivery once your order is dispatched takes around 4 to 7 business days, depending on your location. Remote and rural areas may take a bit longer.

Delays can happen during peak periods, extreme weather, or in areas with limited freight services. We’ll keep you updated if anything looks like it’s going to run longer than expected.

Dispatch Times

Most orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days of payment clearing. Complete JDM engine packages sometimes need extra prep time for crating, so if that’s the case for your order, we’ll contact you to let you know.

You’ll receive a confirmation email when your order is dispatched, including tracking details where available.

Tracking Your Order

Where our freight partners provide tracking, we’ll pass those details on to you. Not all carriers offer real-time tracking for heavy freight to regional areas, but we’ll do our best to keep you informed at every stage.

If you haven’t heard anything within your expected delivery window, contact us and we’ll chase it up with the carrier on your behalf.

Delivery Requirements

Please make sure someone is available to receive the delivery. Outboard motors and engines are heavy items and most carriers won’t leave them unattended without authority to do so.

If you need delivery to a depot, business address, or have specific access requirements at your property, let us know when you order and we’ll make a note for the carrier.

If a delivery is missed and needs to be re-attempted or redirected, additional freight charges may apply.

Remote and Regional Delivery

We understand a lot of our customers, boaties and engine builders alike, are based well outside the main cities. That’s the nature of this country. We do our best to service remote and rural postcodes, but freight to some areas can be significantly more expensive and take longer.

If you’re in a remote location, we strongly recommend contacting us before purchasing so we can give you an accurate freight quote and realistic delivery timeframe for your area.

Damaged in Transit

We take care packing every motor and engine, but occasionally things happen in freight. If your item arrives visibly damaged, please:

  • Note the damage with the driver at the time of delivery if possible
  • Take photos of the packaging and the item before unpacking further
  • Contact us within 48 hours of receiving the delivery

Do not attempt to start, install, or use a motor or engine you suspect has been damaged in transit. Contact us first and we’ll work through the process with you.

International Shipping

We ship internationally. International orders typically take 10 to 15 business days to arrive, depending on destination and customs processing. Get in touch before ordering if you’d like a freight quote or estimated timeframe for your country.
