Calculating Shipping Costs
We charge a single flat fee for each shipment, plus additional, smaller fees for each item in that shipment. The total shipping charge will be displayed on the last page of the order form, before you submit your order. Here is the equation we use to calculate the total shipping cost:
- (Highest Applicable Per-Shipment Cost) + (All Per-Item Costs) = Total Shipping Fee
For example, if you choose standard shipping for an order that contains a video game console and a video game, you will be charged the higher Per-Shipment Cost for the video game console and the Per-Item Cost of each item: 7.49 + .99 + .99 = $9.47 total shipping cost. Note: Per-Item Costs for some products are a flat rate per unit while for others the Per-Item Cost is based on the product's weight.
Target at Amazon.com
Shipping and handling charges are based on the delivery option you choose and the weight, size and dimensions of your items. You'll see the shipping cost listed on the "Place Order" page during checkout.
Third-Party Orders
Some items offered on our Web site are fulfilled by independent sellers whose shipping rates are different than the Amazon.com rates listed below. The seller of each item in your order will be clearly noted on the View Shopping Cart page. Read more about shipping rates for
Amazon Merchants and
Amazon Marketplace.
When To Expect Your Order
Our estimated delivery date for your order is based how quickly we can obtain and ship your items, your shipping address, and the shipping speed and options you chosse. For detailed information about how we estimate your delivery date, please see our Delivery Estimates Help page.
Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or APO/FPO Addresses
Standard Shipping Deliveries may take longer--up to 21 days for APO/FPO addresses.
Shipping Methods and Carriers
We use a variety of carriers for each shipping option, and will choose the most appropriate delivery method for your desired shipping address. Most items may be shipped to P.O. boxes. It is not possible to specify a preferred carrier when placing your order. When you select One-Day or Two-Day Shipping, we may use air or ground shipping as necessary to get your items to you within the promised time frame.
Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or APO/FPO Addresses
Some items cannot be shipped to these destinations or shipping method choices may be limited. See our list of Shipping Restrictions or check the item's detail page for eligibility.
Shipping to a P.O. box
Some items too big to ship to a P.O. box must be shipped to a street address.
