Refund Policy

Return Policy

We stand behind everything we sell. If at any time your West Marine purchase does not meet your expectations, you can return it for a replacement or refund except as noted below. If you are a West Advantage Rewards member, you don’t even need a receipt - we’ll have a record of your purchase. If you are not a West Advantage Rewards member, we will need to verify your purchase by receipt or other method.

We do carry a few items that cannot be returned: items with expiration dates that have expired such as flares, charts, publications; all motors which includes gas, electric and trolling motors, items that are registered to a user such as boats, EPIRB, PLBs, SPOT, Class B AIS, life rafts; customized items such as rigging and boat covers; computer software, electronic charts and carry on air conditioners. For electronics we will help you contact the vendors for assistance or repair. If you are not a West Advantage Rewards Member, we will first need to verify your purchase by receipt or other method.

Refund Methods

Returns made within 30 days of purchase will be refunded with the type of payment used in the original sale. Please allow up to 14 business days for a refund to be posted to your credit card account from the date a refund is processed. If a refund is requested after 30 days, or if you do not have a receipt and we verify the original purchase, your refund will be made in the form of a ACY Marine Gift Card.

We can return funds only to debit cards with the MasterCard or Visa Insignia. We will issue a ACY Marine Gift Card for purchases made using other debit cards. You may also elect to receive either a West Marine company check or gift card for refunds over $100 for original purchases made by cash or check.
