FAQ
Anwers to the most common questions we receive. If you do not see what you’re looking for here, please contact support.
Is Tracking Provided?
Yes. We provide tracking information with ALL orders, regardless of the shipping method selected. When your order has finished processing, your tracking information will be automatically sent to the email address you have associated with your account.
Checked out as a guest? Your tracking and confirmation will be sent to the email address you provided upon checkout.
Can I Pay Online And Pick Up My Order In Store?
Yes! If you are local and would like to pick up your order from our store location in Vilano Beach, simply select ‘In-Store Pickup’ when you checkout to save on shipping and associated fees.
Why Can I Purchase Some Things In Store But Not Online?
St. Augustine Marina is a small, family owned business that has, up until recently, relied on ‘the old way‘ of doing business – that is, in person.
As of the launch of our new website, we have started making efforts to switch to a transaction and inventory system that is more in line with the digital era. Each item you see listed in our online store has to be catalogued and updated by hand in order to publish the item online. For this reason, our online store is slowly but surely growing and more items will become available for online purchase, shipping, and pickup as they are added.
You may request an item be added by contacting admin with an email to 20*****@st************.com“>ad***@st************.com for your suggestion to be considered for addition.
How Long Does It Take For An Order To Ship?
We ship once, sometimes twice, a week on average. The exception being if we have a particularly large volume of orders one week or expedited shipping options are selected.
Please allow up to 5- 7 business days for processsing, particularly for large orders. You will receive confirmation and tracking updates to the email provided as they are available. You may contact us at any time with questions related to your order.
What Is Pay Over The Phone?
We offer payment over the phone by credit or debit card as a convenience to our customers that would rather have their payment processed by our staff.
You may select this option and make your payment within 7 business days for your order. You MUST contact the store during business hours to have your payment securely processed by our staff.
You may also provide updated payment information in the event that your payment failed online this way. For your safety, please DO NOT EMAIL US YOUR PAYMENT OR ACCOUNT INFO!
Can I Make An Installment / Loan Payment Online?
We apologize for the inconvenience but we are currently unable to accept loan payments or installments for boats or outboards online at this time.
You may choose to pay by phone by calling the store or come in to make your payment.
Tracking Says Awaiting Package / Tracking Not Updated
From time to time, we may purchase the postage for an order when the order is still being processed just before the order is placed for pickup by your chosen carrier. If your order is showing it has shipped and you are seeing this message, please allow 72 hours for your tracking to update.
If you have not received tracking updates on your order and you have allowed at least 5 business days for updates, please contact customer support for assistance.
My Package Was Lost or Damaged In Transit
We apologize for this unfortunate outcome! For this reason, we highly recommend our customers purchase shipping insurance, utilize USPS priority mail shipping or UPS / FEDEX to ensure that you are covered in the event your package is lost or damaged in transit.
**Please note, St. Augustine Marina Inc. may not be held responsible for any item(s) lost or damaged in transit, however, we will always do our best to accomodate you if you contact customer support with your details.
WAS YOUR PACKAGE INSURED? Contact customer support with your order details so that we can start an insurance claim on your behalf with your chosen shipping carrier. You may also do so yourself by contacting the carrier with your tracking number, however, in most cases this must be done by the merchant in order to receive shipping fee reimbursement.
Refunds for lost or damaged packages can take several weeks to investigate and process. If the carrier finds that the claim is valid, your account will be refunded the principal (max) insurance amount for the order, minus any taxes and shipping fees charged to us for the shipment. This amount will only be disbursed to the payment method on file. If you checked out as a guest, you may receive store credit for your purchase.
How Do I Know If I Have Shipping Insurance?
You may select shipping insurance options on checkout or you will receive the benefit of insurance if you select UPS Ground or Advantage or USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate or Standard at checkout. Insurance amounts may vary between carriers and what can be selected upon checkout.
If you received FREE SHIPPING and met the qualifications, your order will automatically include insurance up to $100.
Can I Purchase Outboads or Boats Online?
No, we do not allow the purchase of outboards or watercraft online nor do we authorize payments online for purchases of this nature.
Can I Register My Outboard Or Submit Warranty Claims Online?
No, we currently do not allow for warranty claims or registration to be done online / accessed by our customers. Your purchase will be registered in store when finalized and you will be provided all necessary documentation at that time.
Why Are The Prices Different On Ebay etc.
Prices will naturally vary between platforms, particularly third party platforms like ebay, due to the commission and other fees that are charged by the platform for simply using the platform to facilitate the transaction.
Items may be more or less depending on where you choose to purchase them. St. Augustine Marina Inc. utilizes multiple avenues for retail purposes and your purchase with us through these platforms is considered just as valid and held under the same policies as any order placed directly through us.
We will not honor requests for refunds for items purchased for the sale price on one platform or in store pro-rated or otherwise. All sales on alll platforms are considered FINAL unless special circumstances arise where a refund or store credit is the best course of action.
