Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) has become an essential service for millions of sellers worldwide. By leveraging Amazon’s vast network of warehouses and fulfillment centers, businesses can store, pack, and ship products to their customers with ease. In this article, we’ll delve deep into the world of Amazon FBA warehouse locations, addressing some common questions and concerns.
Can I choose a warehouse for Amazon FBA?
Unfortunately, sellers cannot directly choose which Amazon warehouse their products are stored in. When you create a shipment plan in your Seller Central account, Amazon will determine the most appropriate fulfillment center for your products based on various factors such as the size, weight, and sales history of the items.
This ensures that Amazon can efficiently manage inventory and quickly fulfill customer orders.
Where are most of the Amazon warehouses located?
Amazon has a vast global network of fulfillment centers that spans several continents. In the United States alone, Amazon operates over 175 fulfillment centers across more than 35 states. The majority of these warehouses are concentrated in densely populated areas, such as California, Texas, and the East Coast. This strategic placement allows Amazon to minimize shipping times and better serve its customers.
Globally, Amazon has fulfillment centers in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Some key locations include the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, and Australia.
How many FBA centers are there?
As of September 2021, Amazon operated over 250 fulfillment centers worldwide, with plans for further expansion. The company is constantly investing in its fulfillment infrastructure to accommodate its ever-growing customer base and support the millions of sellers who rely on FBA services.
How much does FBA warehousing cost?
Amazon FBA warehousing costs vary depending on factors such as the size and weight of the products, the duration of storage, and the time of year. There are two main components to FBA warehousing fees: storage fees and fulfillment fees.
Storage fees are charged monthly and are based on the amount of space your products occupy in the fulfillment center.
Is every Amazon warehouse different?
While the primary function of each Amazon warehouse is to store and fulfill products, there can be differences between them. Some warehouses specialize in handling specific types of products, such as perishable goods, hazardous materials, or oversized items.
Additionally, some fulfillment centers may be dedicated to processing returns or handling cross-border shipments.
It’s also worth noting that Amazon continuously updates and improves its warehouse technology and processes, so the efficiency and capabilities of each fulfillment center may vary.
How do I know which Amazon warehouse to ship to?
When you create a shipment plan in your Seller Central account, Amazon will automatically assign you one or more warehouses to ship your products to. This assignment is based on factors such as product size, weight, and sales history, as well as the current inventory levels and capacity at each fulfillment center.
Once you receive your assigned warehouse(s), you’ll need to follow Amazon’s specific packing and shipping requirements to ensure that your products arrive safely and efficiently.
How does Amazon choose warehouse locations?
Amazon takes a strategic approach when selecting warehouse locations, considering factors such as population density, proximity to major transportation hubs, availability of land or existing facilities, and local tax incentives.
By positioning fulfillment centers close to major cities and transportation networks, Amazon can minimize shipping times and ensure prompt delivery to customers.
Additionally, Amazon may choose locations that offer lower operating costs, such as lower property taxes or more affordable labor. These savings can be passed on to sellers in the form of competitive fulfillment fees.
In recent years, Amazon has also been investing in renewable energy and sustainable practices for its fulfillment centers.
As a result, the company may favor locations that support these goals, such as areas with abundant solar or wind resources.

The impact of Amazon FBA warehouse locations on your business
Understanding the ins and outs of Amazon FBA warehouse locations can help you optimize your e-commerce business for success.
While you may not have direct control over which fulfillment center your products are stored in, being aware of the factors that influence Amazon’s decisions can help you make more informed choices about your inventory management, shipping strategies, and pricing.
By leveraging Amazon’s vast fulfillment network, you can access millions of customers worldwide and provide them with fast, reliable shipping. However, it’s essential to keep in mind the associated costs, such as storage and fulfillment fees, when determining your pricing and profit margins.
As Amazon continues to expand its warehouse network and improve its fulfillment processes, sellers who stay informed about these developments can position themselves for long-term success in the competitive world of e-commerce.
Impact of Warehouse Locations on Sales Tax
The location of Amazon FBA warehouses can affect sales tax obligations for sellers. Sales tax in the United States is a state-level tax, and having inventory stored in a fulfillment center in a particular state may create a “nexus” for tax purposes.
A nexus is a connection between a seller and a state that requires the seller to collect and remit sales tax for orders shipped to customers within that state. Sellers must stay informed about their sales tax obligations and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
Regional FBA Programs
Amazon FBA Warehouse Locations also play a role in regional FBA programs. These programs, such as Amazon FBA Pan-European, Amazon FBA India, or Amazon FBA Japan, cater to specific markets and allow sellers to store their inventory in fulfillment centers within those regions.
This enables faster shipping times and lower costs for both sellers and customers within these markets.
Amazon’s Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF)
Amazon FBA Warehouse Locations are not limited to fulfilling orders placed on the Amazon platform. Amazon’s Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) service allows sellers to fulfill orders from other sales channels, such as their own e-commerce websites or other online marketplaces, by utilizing Amazon’s vast fulfillment network.
This service provides sellers with access to the same benefits of FBA, like fast shipping and reliable customer service, for orders placed outside of Amazon.
FBA Export
Amazon FBA Warehouse Locations also enable sellers to participate in FBA Export. This program allows sellers to store their inventory in fulfillment centers and ship their products internationally to customers in over 100 countries.
By leveraging Amazon’s global fulfillment network, sellers can expand their customer base and grow their businesses without the hassle of managing international shipping and logistics themselves.
Seasonal Fluctuations in FBA Fees
FBA fees, including storage and fulfillment fees, may fluctuate seasonally due to changes in demand and the availability of warehouse space.
Amazon FBA Warehouse Locations may experience higher storage fees during peak seasons, such as the holiday shopping period.
Sellers must stay informed about these fee changes and adjust their inventory management strategies accordingly to minimize costs and maintain profitability.
Local Labor Market and Operating Costs
The local labor market and operating costs in the area surrounding an Amazon FBA Warehouse Location can impact the cost of fulfillment services for sellers.
Amazon may choose locations with more affordable labor and lower property taxes to keep fulfillment fees competitive.
This can be an advantage for sellers, but it is essential to consider how these factors may change over time as labor and property markets evolve.
Environmental Factors and Sustainability Initiatives
Amazon FBA Warehouse Locations may be influenced by the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
Amazon has been investing in renewable energy and sustainable practices for its fulfillment centers, such as solar and wind power installations or energy-efficient building design.
These initiatives can reduce the environmental impact of Amazon’s operations and contribute to the company’s long-term sustainability goals.
Warehousing Infrastructure and Technology Advancements
Advancements in warehousing infrastructure and technology can greatly impact Amazon FBA Warehouse Locations.
Amazon continuously invests in the latest technology and automation systems to improve the efficiency and capabilities of its fulfillment centers.
As a result, the company can optimize its warehouse network and offer faster, more reliable shipping services to sellers and customers.
Network Redundancy and Disaster Recovery Strategies
Amazon FBA Warehouse Locations are crucial for ensuring network redundancy and implementing effective disaster recovery strategies.
By maintaining a vast network of fulfillment centers, Amazon can quickly reroute orders and shift inventory between locations in case of disruptions or emergencies.
This ensures the continued operation of the FBA service and minimizes the potential impact on sellers and customers.
In conclusion
Amazon FBA warehouse locations play a vital role in the success of millions of sellers around the world.
By tapping into Amazon’s extensive fulfillment network, businesses can efficiently manage their inventory, streamline their shipping processes, and reach a global customer base.
While sellers cannot directly choose their warehouse location, understanding the factors that influence Amazon’s decisions can help you make more informed choices about your business strategies.
With a clear grasp of the costs and logistics associated with FBA warehouse locations, you can optimize your operations for maximum efficiency and profitability in the ever-evolving world of e-commerce.
