DISCOUNTMARINESUPPLIES.COM is a strictly mail order/internet retailer based in Pennsylvania. We have over 30 years of experience in marine related fields including over 20 years of direct retail experience in boating supplies and equipment and nearly 10 years of online experience.

Our objective is to go beyond the promises of every other website (low prices, fast shipping, etc.). Our objective is to provide every online shopper with an online source or value based pricing across the board, not a confusing mix of low prices and high prices which is a common tool used by many retailers. We offer a large selection of products which are displayed correctly and accurately with clear descriptions, accurate pictures and honest pricing. We sell only produts we know to be of quality construction from well known and respected manufacturers. Please read over our business design model listed below and hopefully you will feel confident in purchasing your products with us.


PRODUCT SELECTION: Every item on this website is researched and hand selected to be an item which we are comfortable selling to our customers. For example, we don't sell 7 versions of the same exact item which many websites do because this is confusing to the buyer. Rather, we will sell the version that we feel has the best reliability, brand name acceptance or factory warranty. We make sure that all of our items have truly accurate descriptions that are easy to understand and photos that accurately show the product. (example: Every paint product we sell has a clear and accurate color chart on display). While we will admit there are errors hiding on our site, we make a full time effort to make sure you have as much information as possible before you purchase anything on our website.


LOW PRICING: We offer no tricks or gimicks in our pricing. For example, there are no additional hazmat fees on our selection of paints and resins. What you see is what you pay. Our shipping rates are the lowest in the industry bar none. We can offer this low rate of shipping because of the structure of our business. Behind the scenes we operate with a small staff who work very hard to fulfill your orders, answer your questions and make your experience as enjoyable as possible. 

CUSTOMER SERVICE: All of our service, returns and support issues are handled via online and e-mail services. We are only able to offer low prices because our operational expenses are a fraction of what they would be if we maintained a staff of telephone operators. While this may seem like an intentional effort to reduce our customer service, it is one of the only ways we can maintain our low pricing and low shipping costs. We have conducted business this way for a long time and like anything there are compromises of service in some situations, however the end result is lower pricing and in many situations we can provide better answers and more in depth research when we have an email we can review and research rather than a phone call which in many cases requires an immediate answer.
