Urgency Level
Same day shipments cost more than next day. Next day costs more than 2 day guaranteed. AMZ Prep quotes all available windows so you choose the urgency you need.
Distance and Lane
Regional lanes under 500 miles qualify for same day delivery. Cross country lanes require next day or 2 day windows. AMZ Prep optimizes routing for each lane.
Shipment Weight
Heavier shipments need larger equipment. Loads over 10,000 pounds may require a dedicated full truckload. AMZ Prep matches equipment to your exact weight.
Equipment Type
Dry van is the standard equipment for expedited freight. Refrigerated trailers, flatbeds, and sprinter vans cost more. AMZ Prep sources all equipment types.
Day and Time
Weekend and holiday pickups carry surcharges. After hours dispatching adds cost. AMZ Prep books during business hours when possible to reduce the rate.
Accessorials
Liftgate service, inside delivery, and appointment scheduling add fees. AMZ Prep identifies required accessorials upfront so quotes are accurate.
