So much so, that 53/100 of our top searches are (almost ⅔) are for gadgets.

That’s excluding searches for iPhone accessories too, of which there are many.

What’s the most popular iPhone accessory? Cases.

Here are the most popular iPhone case models and their search volumes:

#KeywordSearch Volume
1iphone 7 case1,070,000
2iphone 7 plus case896,000
3iphone x case846,000
4iphone 6 case824,000
5iphone 6s case779,000
6iphone 8 plus case681,000

(It looks like a lot of people are still rocking iPhone 6’s and 7’s.)

Speaking of iPhone accessories, there are 1.54M monthly searches for “Bluetooth headphones,” which makes it the 8th most popular product search on our list. That’s no doubt down to Apple (and other phone manufacturers) removing headphone jacks in recent years.SIDENOTE. There are a further 1.08M searches for “wireless headphones” and 640K for “Bluetooth earbuds.”.

Amazon also appears to be a popular place to purchase games consoles and games.

The Nintendo Switch tops the list with 4.1M monthly searches, followed by the PS4 with 1.57M, then the Xbox One with 902K, and finally the Snes Classic (ooh, retro!) with 613K.

Gaming mice and chairs are popular too with almost 1.58M combined monthly searches.

But what else is popular on Amazon besides gadgets and games?

Well, there are still a fair few searches for “books” (1.07M) which, of course, is what started this whole thing for Amazon back in the ’90s. But it looks as though most people prefer to do their reading on electronic devices these days as there are 1.51M searches for “kindle.”

The Kindle isn’t the only one of Amazon’s branded devices that’s popular either—their Fire Stick and Echo products get millions of combined monthly searches.

Other than that, there are many searches for everyday essentials and other “basic” items:

#KeywordSearch Volume

2paper towels931,000
3water bottle918,000
4shower curtain800,000
5coffee670,000
6fan632,000

Oh, and one non‐physical product made it to the list too: “prime video” (612Kmonthly searches).

Is Amazon catching up with Netflix? Maybe.

Either way, one thing is for sure: Amazon is genuinely an everything store. It’s no longer just about books.

Now let’s see how the most popular Amazon searches in the US compare to the rest of the World.

What are Freight Classes?

Freight classes are designed to help you get common standardized freight pricing for your shipment when working with different carriers, warehouses and brokers.   Freight classes are defined by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) and made available through the NMFC or National Motor Freight Classification.

Freight classes (there are 18 of them) are based on weight, length and height, density, ease of handling, value and liability from things like theft, damage, break-ability and spoilage. For the most part, the lower the NMFC class number, the lower the freight charge.  Part of FML’s job is to help you figure out your NMFC freight class, insuring the specialized code is correct. This insures that you get correct and consistent pricing for your freight.  The following table describes the NMFC classes and is meant for general guidance in picking your freight class, a number of factors influence what class your shipment ends up in.  You should contact FML Freight Representative to determine an accurate freight class.

Getting it wrong will cost you. If you incorrectly classify your item to be shipped it can be reclassified by the freight carrier. Disputing this is difficult, time consuming and you will be charged the difference (usually without a discount).

A Practical Example to Determine LTL Freight Class

To properly freight class a shipment of 1 pallet of plastic hose (BO528112035PSL), we need to know the pallet dimension and weight.  This product ships on a standard pallet that can be double stacked for shipment.  The dimensions are 48”Lx40”Wx45.5”H and the weight including pallet is 243.2 lbs.  Using the formula shown above (and repeated below with the numbers from our example) we derive a PCF of 4.8 PCF.  Therefore using the table above our freight would be NMFC class 51140-4 rated at class 150.

  • PCF calculation for a full pallet of 32 cartons of BO528112035PSL
    •  Length x width x height = cubic inches (48”x40”x45.5”=87,360 cubic inches)
    • Cubic inches/1728 = cubic feet   (87,360/1728 = 50.6 cubic feet)
    • Divide weight of the packing unit by the volume. (243.2 lbs /50.6  cubic feet = 4.8 pounds per cubic foot)

Again, it is VERY important as a shipper of freight you understand freight class. Getting it wrong will cost you. If you incorrectly classify your item to be shipped it can be reclassified by the freight carrier. Disputing this is difficult, time consuming and you will be charged the difference (usually without a discount).
