Amazon’s growth is exciting until shipping slows you down.

With listings to tweak, stock to track and ads to run, you’re moving fast. But freight logistics? It’s often slow, costly, and full of guesswork—especially when shipping across borders.

Sound familiar?

We get it. That’s why we built something just for you: the Amazon Freight Calculator by AMZ Prep—a smart new tool that simplifies your entire freight decision-making process in just a few clicks. Calculate your freight cost now.

You Deserve Simplicity and Accuracy When It Comes to Shipping

Too often, calculating international freight becomes a tedious, uncertain chore. Many businesses rely on the best freight forwarders to simplify global logistics and minimize costly delays. Maybe you’ve been stuck emailing freight brokers for days only to receive quotes that don’t include customs duties or special handling charges. Or you’ve overpaid on a shipment that took weeks longer than promised.

You shouldn’t have to gamble with your profit margins just to get products across borders.

Our Amazon Freight Calculator changes that.

It’s not just a quote tool—it’s a full-fledged logistics partner, giving you the clarity and confidence you need to manage global shipments with ease.

Real-Time Freight Estimates

Forget the confusion of spreadsheets and vague freight quotes. AMZ Prep’s Amazon Freight Calculator gives you instant, accurate estimates for air and ocean shipments. From a pallet headed from China to the USA to a container leaving Vietnam for Canada, it calculates based on size, weight, urgency, and shipping type—fast and hassle-free.

Eliminate Shipping Surprises with Our Amazon Freight Calculator

Unexpected logistics costs can throw off your entire fulfillment strategy—but not anymore. Our Amazon freight calculator is built to give you complete visibility into your shipping expenses so you never get blindsided by hidden fees or surprise charges. It’s precise, transparent, and tailored for Amazon sellers.

Here’s exactly what our calculator breaks down for you:

Base Freight Rates (Air & Ocean)

Get real-time estimates based on your shipment’s weight, volume, and destination—optimized for Amazon FBA and FBM logistics.

Packaging, Labelling & Handling Fees

Whether it’s prepping for FBA compliance or specialized packaging, every cost is itemized clearly before you commit.

Customs Brokerage & Documentation

Avoid delays and unexpected charges with clear visibility into documentation and brokerage fees; all factored into your total.

Import Duties, VAT/GST & Applicable Taxes

Our calculator takes your delivery destination into account and includes duties and taxes upfront—so you can budget correctly.

Door-to-Door Delivery Fees

From port drayage to final warehouse delivery, we cover the full journey—giving you peace of mind with every leg of the shipment.

Special Handling Surcharges

Shipping hazmat, fragile, or oversized goods? Those fees are accounted for from the start—no unpleasant add-ons later.

With our Amazon freight calculator, you’re not just getting a quote—you’re getting full financial clarity. Plan your shipments with confidence, protect your margins, and keep your Amazon operations running smoothly—with no surprises.

Not Sure Whether to Ship by Air or Sea?

We totally get it—air freight is quick but can hit your margins, and ocean freight is cheaper but slower. 

So, how do you choose what’s right for your next shipment? That’s where our shipping calculator comes in. 

It lays out a side-by-side visual comparison of air express and LCL ocean freight, showing you estimated delivery times, total costs, and overall reliability. 

No spreadsheets, no stress—just a clear view that helps you pick the best option for your goals, whether it’s speed, savings, or a bit of both.

Tailored for Amazon FBA Pros Like You

This isn’t your average shipping tool. It’s built specifically for Amazon sellers who need to hit FBA requirements without missing a beat. 

Whether you’re sending inventory to New Jersey, Ontario, Birmingham, or Berlin, the calculator highlights shipping routes that are fully aligned with Amazon’s fulfillment networks. 

That means fewer handoffs, faster processing, and built-in checks for labelling and compliance. It’s everything you need to make smarter decisions and get your products delivered without the usual friction—so you can focus more on selling and less on shipping headaches.

You’re building a business—every second and every dollar counts. That’s why our freight logistics calculator is designed to turn a traditionally complex process into one of your biggest growth assets.

Plan Ahead with Precision

Avoid unexpected setbacks by choosing optimal lead times tailored to your shipping routes and marketplace goals. Our tool helps you sidestep delays that eat into margins and hurt customer experience.

No More Guesswork or Hidden Fees

Our fully itemized quotes strip away the surprises. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for—from carrier charges to customs fees—empowering you to make smart, cost-effective decisions.

Compare and Save Instantly

Why settle for a single shipping quote? Instantly evaluate multiple logistics options and discover the most cost-efficient route. Some of our clients have cut freight costs by up to 32%—just by making data-driven choices.

Skip the Broker Bottlenecks

Time is money. Stop waiting days for a freight broker’s email. With our tool, you get instant insights and options so you can act fast, secure the best rates, and keep your supply chain moving.

Scale Into New Markets with Confidence

Thinking global? Whether it’s Canada, Europe, or beyond, our calculator helps you plan smart entries into new Amazon marketplaces—without the guesswork.

Where Freight Intelligence Meets Global Efficiency

AMZ Prep’s freight calculator was built by freight veterans who understand the ins and outs of Amazon logistics. Supported by a global network and shaped by decades of international shipping experience, it gives you actionable insights—not just estimates. Every rate is fuelled by real expertise, helping you streamline fulfilment and scale with certainty.

Inside every rate breakdown, here’s what powers your shipment:

Customs and Duty Consultants

Our trade compliance pros work to navigate you through customs smoothly and cost-effectively. Say goodbye to delays and hello to savings on duties, ensuring a faster, stress-free entry into Amazon’s supply chain.

Routing Experts for Timely Delivery

Speed meets precision with our routing specialists. By selecting the best shipping corridors, we help you hit tight timelines and keep Amazon’s fulfilment standards intact—no matter where you’re shipping from.

Consolidation Strategies to Cut Costs

High-volume shipping shouldn’t mean high costs. Our consolidation techniques help reduce per-unit pricing and boost overall logistics efficiency—ideal for FCL, LCL, and bulk shipments.

Inspection and Packaging Teams for Quality Assurance

Quality starts before your products leave the warehouse. With our in-house inspection and expert packaging services, we ensure every item is prepped and protected for Amazon’s strict receiving requirements.

White-Glove Handling for Premium Products

Your premium products deserve premium treatment. Our white-glove service offers secure handling for sensitive or high-value items—ensuring flawless delivery and peace of mind.
