Whether your customer is next door or in Siberia, we offer a variety of shipping methods aimed to cover all of your shipping needs. The related shipping cost will depend on the weight of the package, and the shipping address. Predictably, the further a package has to travel, the higher the shipping cost. Just click here to be directed to our shipping rates help article (you must be logged into my.amplifier.com to view). The carriers do not consider the day of pickup in the transit time.

  • Standard Shipping - 2-7 business days transit - A multi-carrier domestic service provided by Amplifier to deliver packages affordably. It uses a variety of carriers (for example: USPS, DHLeCommerce, OnTrac, OSM) in order to maintain a low cost for clients.

This method is only available for containers which have a Length + Girth measurement not greater than 84 inches. Delivery to PR, VI, HI, GU, AK is not supported with this method.

  • Domestic Expedited- 3 business days transit - A domestic service that utilizes a variety of DHL Global Mail methods to deliver packages affordably, using USPS Priority Mail for the final leg of delivery.

This method is only available for containers which have a Length + Girth measurement not greater than 84 inches. Delivery to PR, VI, HI, GU, AK is not supported with this method.

Customs brokerage service is included in the freight cost, though the customs fees will be billed to the recipient separately. Track at http://ups.com. Subject to dimensional weight assessment (Length x Width x Height (in.)/139).

Of note, if using the rate charts to build weight-based shipping tables in your ecommerce cart, the calculated rate will only be as accurate as your item weight. Be sure to account for packaging weight, too. Lastly, consider potential dimensional weight for large items, as carriers will bill above actual rate for items of large size/low weight. For example, UPS calculates dimensional weight by dividing the cubic size in inches by 166. Increase any fraction to the next whole pound, and that will be the weight used for calculating freight.

NOTE:  

Amplifier announced to all Clients that – effective September 1, 2019 – our default International Shipment method would become a Trackable option previously called "Track & Trace".  This faster and trackable service provides much greater speed and transparency than our previous untrackable Standard.
