Shipping & freight
Outboards are bulky goods – we deliver by forwarder and show you the freight costs transparently before you buy. No hidden surcharges.
Delivery by forwarder
Outboard motors are heavy, bulky goods. We therefore ship them as forwarder freight – securely packed and insured in transit. Small parts and accessories may arrive separately as a parcel.
Freight costs – transparent, not hidden
Freight depends on the weight and size of the motor and on the delivery region. You see the exact freight cost before you buy in the cart and at checkout – including VAT and with no later surcharges.
If you order several items, we charge freight as one combined delivery rather than per item. Models we deliver free of freight are marked as “free freight” on the product and in the cart.
Delivery time
The estimated delivery time is shown on every product page and in your order confirmation. As soon as the shipment leaves our warehouse or logistics partner, you receive a dispatch confirmation. The forwarder then arranges the delivery date with you.
Forwarder notification and receipt of goods
Before delivery, the forwarder calls you to arrange a date – please provide a reachable phone number. On arrival, check the shipment for visible transport damage and note any damage directly on the delivery receipt. This makes a fast resolution easier.
Delivery by logistics partners
Kielkraft is the seller and invoicing party. The heavy freight shipment is handled for us by experienced logistics and shipping partners directly from the warehouse. Important for you: warranty, withdrawal and service always stay with us – not with the partner.
Lithium batteries as dangerous goods
The lithium-ion batteries of the ePropulsion models are classified as dangerous goods (UN 3480/3481). We ship them in compliance with the applicable regulations. This can affect packaging and, in individual cases, the shipping route and transit time. Please follow the transport and storage notes in the user manual.
Delivery area
We deliver to Germany and many EU countries. Freight depends on the motor's shipping class and the delivery zone – you see the exact cost at checkout as soon as you select your country:
- Germany: €39–199 depending on the motor (the price shown on the product)
- Zone A (Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark): €59–279
- Zone B (France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Czechia, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia): €79–359
- Zone C (Portugal, Greece, Finland, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Cyprus): €109–449
EU deliveries usually arrive within 5–10 working days. For islands or countries outside the EU, please contact us before ordering.
Withdrawal and returns
Your right of withdrawal and the return of bulky goods are governed by the right of withdrawal. The details shown in the cart, at checkout and in our terms are decisive for your order. You bear the direct cost of returning the goods; for forwarder freight this is estimated at a maximum of about 250 euros depending on model and region – on request we arrange the pickup for you.
