Shipping Information

Ver página en Español Shipping Map

Our 4 state-of-the-art, strategically located warehouses are highly efficient and allow us to ship your gear in record time - and most orders will arrive at your door within 2 days for free. Shortly after you place your order, a Ship Confirmation email will arrive letting you know the order was picked, packed and put on a truck.

This icon Free 2 Day Shipping will appear next to the items that typically arrive in 2 days. In certain cases, a different delivery date will be reflected in your shopping cart, based on the location of the inventory and the time of your order. This advice will be clearly marked on the checkout page with an associated delivery date and "order within" countdown clock.

Please note that the "order within" countdown clock provides the timeframe in which you must place the order to receive your delivery by the date shown. That delivery date may change within that window of time due to changes in inventory.

Packages may require a signature.

*Free ground shipping is a limited time offer, valid only in the continental United States.

AMS will process your order and deliver it to our carriers immediately. However, all shipping carriers are occasionally experiencing delays due to a higher-than-expected volume of shipments. Please be advised that the delivery projections listed for your order may not always be accurate.

We are shipping 7 days a week, so your order can be on its way to you more quickly! Please note that the availability of deliveries on Saturday and Sunday is dependent on the individual zip code of the order recipient and subject to the terms therein.
