Shipping

Reliable delivery, free standard shipping on orders over $50 when you sign in


At Metric Marine, we believe ordering marine and industrial supplies should be straightforward—especially when it comes to shipping. Our goal is to provide clear, upfront shipping costs with no surprises at checkout.



Free Standard Shipping

Customers with a registered MetricMarine.com account receive free standard ground shipping on most orders over $50, shipped to a single address within the contiguous United States.

Please note that certain oversized, heavy, or specialty items may require additional delivery charges due to carrier requirements. These charges are clearly disclosed on the product page, in your shopping cart, and during checkout so you know exactly what to expect before placing your order.


Orders Under $50

For logged‑in customers placing an order under $50 (before tax), a non‑refundable $5 shipping and handling fee applies when shipping to one address within the contiguous United States.

This fee does not apply to items that already require a special freight or delivery surcharge.
Orders containing only surcharge‑eligible items will be billed according to the applicable delivery method.


Orders $50 and Above

Orders totaling $50 or more before tax qualify for free standard ground shipping, provided:

  • The order ships to one address
  • The destination is within the contiguous United States
  • The items do not require special handling or freight services

Guest Checkout

Orders placed without a Metric Marine account may be subject to shipping charges, especially on orders under $75. Creating a free account is the easiest way to unlock free shipping and track your orders.

Shipping Carriers

Metric Marine ships using a variety of trusted carriers depending on item type, size, and destination.
Ownership and risk of loss transfer to the customer once the shipment is tendered to the carrier.


Shipping Exceptions & Special Handling

Some products do not qualify for free shipping, including:

  • Oversized or heavyweight items

Additional fees imposed by carriers (including hazmat or fuel surcharges) are the responsibility of the customer.

Standard shipping rates apply to orders shipped to Alaska and Hawaii.
