Amazon Warehouse Locations and Codes

With almost 200 facilities in the US and around the world, Amazon’s warehouse network is one of the largest in the world.

These facilities range from 600,000 to 800,000 square feet in size. Each of the buildings has a capacity of 1000 to 1500 associates. In total, Amazon is estimated to have around a million fulltime and part-time workers employed in these warehouses.

There are several categories of Amazon’s warehouses:

Fulfillment centers (FCs) – these are large buildings that employ thousands of associates.

Fulfillment centers are categorized into sortable and non-sortable.

In sortable fulfillment centers, associates stow, pick, pack and ship small and medium sized packages.

Some of them have robots that help employees in picking and stowing. Amazon Robotics is a subsidiary of Amazon charged with the creation and maintenance of these robots.

Non-sortable FCs are used for large and bulky items such as TVs and patio umbrellas.

Sortation centers (SCs) – these are used for preparing packages for final delivery by sorting them onto pallets. From there, they are loaded onto trucks and shipped away.

Sortation centers are generally more relaxed than fulfillment centers since many of them are not as keen on enforcing productivity rates on their workers as with fulfillment centers.

Just like FCs, SCs employ both fulltime and part-time associates.

Delivery stations (DSs) – these buildings are used to prepare customer orders for last mile delivery.

They are generally smaller than both FCs and SCs and employ fewer associates as well.

Associates who work here sort and pack items that are then shipped to customers using delivery vans.

There are other types of Amazon warehouses such as receive centers, sub same day and specialty FCs.

Amazon Site Code

Amazon facilities are named after the nearest airport’s IATA code, and usually, followed by a number from 1 to 9. An FC is represented by a 1 or 2, an SC by a 5 or 6, while a 9 represents inbound cross dock (IXD) FCs or customer returns (CRET) locations.

For example, MOB9 is an FC in Mobile County, Alabama. MOB is the IATA code for Mobile Regional Airport, the nearest airport to this facility.

Delivery stations, typically start with a D, such as DNY4 in Bethpage, New York. Same day centers, on the other hand, start with an S.

The following is a detailed list of Amazon facilities in the US and includes their identifiers, addresses, city, state and zip codes.

Note that many locations (such as CRET) are not standalone and are found inside larger facilities such as FCs and SCs. Other buildings combine two or more functions such as an FC and a DS rolled into one and therefore might have more than one code.
