All shipping is not created equal.

The Importance of Proper Packaging

When you want to go boating you want to go NOW. Reliable shipping is as crucial as the quality of the products themselves.

How your parts are packaged can vary widely from one supplier to another. At BAM Marine, we know the difference between just packing parts and packaging with care. Our goal is to deliver peace of mind with each parts delivery.

Our commitment to superior packaging processes sets us apart. We strive to ensure you receive your order in perfect condition 99% of the time (there's always room for errors with humans or robots!)

The Problem with Typical Shipping

Shipping marine parts can be tricky. Conventional shipping methods often rely on flimsy envelopes, plastic bags and cheap, thin, boxes. We see many parts come to us with no cushioning or packing materials whatsoever, which can lead to a host of problems:

• Leaks or Broken Parts: Insufficient packing can cause lubricants and other sensitive items to leak or break, rendering them unusable.
• Damaged Boxes: Flimsy boxes are often unable to withstand the rigors of transit, leading to crushed, bent or damaged parts.
• Wrong Size Boxes: Selecting the perfect sized box for your parts is key. Our guys have been doing this for 14 years so they know how to package parts!
• Missing parts: If the box isn't correct for the part it can rip open and parts go missing in transit. We don't have that problem.

We realized early on that these challenges called for a more robust shipping solution that protects your valuable goods.

BAM Marine's Solution: Innovative Packaging Practices

At BAM, we’ve taken a proactive approach to shipping, ensuring our customers receive their orders in the best possible condition. Here's how we do it:

• Custom-Made Boxes/Materials: We’ve designed custom shipping boxes tailored to securely fit a wide range of products, from lubricants to head gaskets. We even designed a "gasket sandwich" to make sure those long valuable gaskets arrive with no creases or bends. We spent the extra money to use heavy corrugated materials for these gaskets.
• Hand-Packed Orders: Each order is carefully packed by hand by one of our long time employees, ensuring that every item is correct, secured and protected for UPS. Our guys even find things with parts no big box company would notice such as missing parts from a kit, wrong part in a bag, etc.  
• Sustainable Recycled Packing Materials: We invested in a big commercial shredder long, long ago. This baby shreds up cheap boxes (and good ones) and makes great filler for packaging a lower unit, small outboard, transmission, etc.
• Fast and Intact Delivery: Our order process is streamlined for speed without sacrificing quality. Customers can trust that their packages will arrive promptly and in perfect condition (unless UPS decides to do something crazy to the package!)

We’ve included visuals that showcase our custom boxes and the packing process. These images not only demonstrate our commitment to quality but also provide a behind-the-scenes look at what makes BAM Marine’s shipping exceptional.
