Limitations
Big and irregular-shaped goods cannot be shipped.
Limitations on the usual shipment size include a maximum length or girth of 108 inches and a maximum weight of 70 lbs. Dimensional shipping limits also apply.
Hazardous items cannot be shipped to regions like Alaska (which include lithium batteries and other hazardous items)
Another limiting matter is the type of address. Certain address types cannot be shipped quickly owing to carrier limitations.
Regions like Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico do not have the privilege of expedited and priority shipping. Some regions are not eligible for shipping at all. They would be notified by an error message at checkout. A look should be taken at the details page of the particular item to check for eligibility and shipping availability. At checkout, the available shipping options will also appear.
Shipping time to Alaska
The time that will be taken to ship to Alaska depends on the destination and type of shipping. Standard shipping has the longest duration which takes 3 to 7 business days before the shipment arrives. Expedited shipping and priority shipping are faster which takes a period of 2 to 5 and 1 to 4 business days respectively to arrive.
Shipping rates to Alaska
There is no fixed price for the shipment of items to Alaska. The shipping fee varies for each item to be shipped and shipping speed.
The exact shipping cost is calculated at checkout. The cost “per shipment” and “per item” can be added to estimate your shipping expenses as a whole. If it is observed that the per item cost is calculated in pounds, check the item’s detail page for the weight.
The shipping cost for each product category on priority shipping is the most expensive because of the speed and time frame of delivery. The cost per product category is in the range of $32.99 to $23.99 per shipment.
Expedited shipping is not as expensive as priority shipping. The cost per shipment is in the range of $20.99 to $15.99.
The cheapest and slowest shipping method is standard shipping. The cost of each product category per shipment is in the range of $12.99 to $5.00.
