What am I booking?
Booking activates and assigns a serialized Amble trunk to you within the network. It becomes your accountable unit across movements.
Do I own the trunk?
Yes. Booking assigns a standardized Amble trunk to you. It remains your accountable unit within the system.
Is this a subscription?
No. Booking is a one-time activation. Movements are scheduled individually.
What does booking include?
One standardized Amble trunk, one movement credit valid for 90 days, and owner pricing on future movements.
What is a movement credit?
A movement credit covers one trunk movement within an active corridor during your 90-day activation window. Additional movements are priced separately.
What routes are active?
Amble expands route by route. Current corridor: Los Angeles (LAX) ↔ Kauai (LIH). Expansion follows reliability.
How fast is delivery?
Amble uses air cargo infrastructure. Transit times depend on flight schedules and coordination, but movements are measured in days—not months.
How is this different from traditional freight?
Traditional freight consolidates shipments and optimizes around volume. Amble moves accountable units individually—no consolidation, no repacking, and no transfer between containers. Your trunk remains intact from origin to destination.
Who handles the trunk during transit?
Amble coordinates with air cargo partners. Each trunk travels as a single accountable unit with clear handoffs across the movement.
What can I ship?
Personal belongings and personal capital equipment that fit within trunk specifications and comply with air cargo regulations. Prohibited items are governed by route and carrier rules.
Can I ship commercial goods?
No. Amble is designed for personal goods and personal capital equipment—not goods for resale.
Can I activate multiple trunks?
Yes. Each trunk is independently assigned and can be moved on its own schedule.
Is my trunk insured?
Yes. Standard air cargo liability limits apply. Declared value coverage is available upon request.
