Rates & service levels
Choose the freight service that fits your delivery
Engine freight is priced per shipment rather than using a misleading universal flat rate. Your confirmed quote shows the carrier service, destination requirements, and applicable accessorial charges before the order is finalized.
Express freight
Typical transit: 1–3 business days
Priority transit can be quoted for eligible routes and engines. Availability, pickup cutoffs, terminal capacity, and destination access can affect timing.
Terminal pickup
Flexible receiving option
Collecting from a nearby carrier terminal can reduce residential accessorial charges and avoids the need for a delivery appointment at your property.
Transit times are carrier estimates after pickup, not guarantees, and exclude inspection, order preparation, weekends, holidays, severe weather, and appointment delays.
How rates are calculated
A quote based on the real shipment
Freight rates vary because an engine shipment is heavy, oversized, and destination-specific. We confirm the delivery conditions before presenting the final shipping amount.

Shipping FAQ
Freight questions, answered clearly
How much does engine shipping cost?
Every rate is quoted for the actual shipment. Distance, crate size and weight, service level, destination type, liftgate requirements, and declared value all affect the final freight charge.
Does transit time include engine preparation?
No. Published transit ranges begin after carrier pickup. Inspection, order confirmation, crating, and dispatch preparation happen before transit starts.
Will I receive tracking?
Yes. After pickup, the order is assigned carrier information and a tracking or PRO number. Some terminal events can take several hours to appear.
Can an engine be delivered to a residence?
Residential delivery is available on many routes. A scheduled appointment and liftgate service may be required and are included in the confirmed quote when selected.
What should I do if the crate looks damaged?
Photograph every side before unloading, note all visible damage on the carrier receipt before signing, retain the crate and packing materials, and contact support immediately.
