All about Amazon fulfilment centres and warehouse locations
Amazon was one of the first and now occupies top places in popularity ratings.
Among Amazon customers you can find Asians, Europeans and representatives of the American continent.
That’s why every entrepreneur who is considering the possibility of cooperation with Amazon wonders how to send goods to the Amazon warehouse from my country?
And the answer is as simple as it may seem: The FBA program.
The Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) program is versatile and makes doing business a lot easier (more on Amazon FBA program here)
Actually, you can make sales on the world market and make a profit without leaving your home. Logistics, delivery, warehousing services and many additional services are taken over by Amazon.
Naturally, such a scale requires huge storage areas.
Amazon fulfilment centres and the FBA program
- the seller purchases goods from the manufacturer and sends them to the Amazon warehouse;
- the goods are stored in the warehouse until they are purchased or if the seller decides to redirect them somewhere;
- as soon as the information about where to send the goods arrives, warehouse workers organize the shipment.
Sellers are offered a wide range of additional services at Amazon fulfilment centres:
- long-term storage services, if the goods are not sold out for more than 6 or 12 months;
- checking the goods for completeness and quality upon delivery from the manufacturer to reduce returns;
- individual packaging of goods;
- taking photos, etc.

Within the last two decades, Amazon fulfillment centers have popped up in almost every corner of the U.S., as the company has pushed to bring items closer to customers to enable faster deliveries. Amazon doubled down on that effort last April when it announced it would shorten Prime s two-day free shipping plan to one day. This map shows where Amazon s fulfillment centers are scattered across the country. Amazon said it has more than 110 active fulfillment centers in the US and more than 185 centers globally. Of the centers on the map, 33 are planned locations that have either been confirmed by Amazon or published in media reports.
