- →It is notan Amazon source. Amazon doesn't publish a unified directory. See FAQ for primary sources.
- →What changed Jan 1, 2026: Amazon ended its in-house FBA Prep service. The FCs are unchanged; prep now happens at the seller or a third-party prep center. Full context →
The 6 building types you'll see in your FBA shipment plan.
Sortable FC
Items under ~18 inches and ~3 lbs. Conveyor-based pick and pack. The default destination for most FBA sellers' inbound. Codes: PHX3, LGB7, ATL7.
Non-sortable FC
Items that exceed sortable thresholds (over 18 inches or over 3 lbs). Pallet and forklift handling. Storage fees and inbound rules differ. Codes: JFK8, PHX5, LGB3.
Inbound Cross-Dock (IXD)
Accepts palletized seller shipments, breaks down, and re-distributes units to downstream FCs. Located near major freight corridors. Sellers using their own freight ship to IXD. Codes: SBD1, FTW1, OFL1.
Amazon XL (AMXL)
Furniture, large appliances, anything that needs two-person delivery. Separate inbound process from standard FBA. Codes: PHX7.
Regional sort centers

How FC location should change your prep-center choice.
The strongest signal on this page for FBA sellers is the regional clustering. Five FC clusters dominate FBA inbound volume in the US:
- Inland Empire (Los Angeles area): LGB, ONT, LAX, SCK, SBD. The single densest FC cluster in the country. Pair with a California prep center like WestFBA or FBA In and Out, or use McKenzie Services in Oregon for tax-free intake.
- Lehigh Valley + NJ (Northeast): EWR, ABE, AVP, PHL. Serves NYC, Philadelphia, Boston metros. Pair with Delaware Prep, Heroic Prep in New Hampshire, or any NJ prep center.
- Atlanta + Carolinas (Southeast): ATL, MGE, CLT, CHA. Southeast demand corridor. Pair with a Georgia or North Carolina prep center.
- Dallas / Fort Worth (Texas): DFW, FTW, IAH, HOU. Central US gateway. Pair with a Texas or Oklahoma prep center.
- Chicago + Indianapolis (Midwest): ORD, MKE, IND, CMH. Midwest demand. Pair with an Illinois or Indiana prep center.

Frequently asked.
How many Amazon fulfillment centers are there in the US?
Amazon operates roughly 110 fulfillment centers in the US as of 2026, plus 100+ adjacent facilities (sortation centers, delivery stations, inbound cross-docks, returns centers, and Amazon XL warehouses for oversize items). The exact number changes monthly as Amazon opens, closes, and re-purposes sites. This page lists the major active FCs that FBA inbound shipments most often route through.
What do the FC codes mean (PHX3, EWR4, LGB7)?
Each FC code is a 3-letter airport code for the nearest major airport, followed by a number that distinguishes facilities in the same area. PHX3 is the third Phoenix-area FC Amazon opened. LGB stands for Long Beach (Los Angeles area). EWR is Newark. The code is what shows up on your FBA shipment routing once Amazon assigns a destination.
What is a sortable vs non-sortable fulfillment center?
Sortable FCs handle smaller items (under ~18 inches and under ~3 lbs) that move through conveyor systems. Non-sortable FCs handle larger or heavier items that need pallets and forklifts. The split matters for FBA sellers because Amazon routes inbound based on the dimensions of your largest unit, and storage fees differ between the two facility types.
What is an Inbound Cross-Dock (IXD) facility?
IXDs accept palletized inbound shipments from sellers and then break the pallets down and ship the individual units to the right sortable or non-sortable FC. They are the entry point for large inbound deliveries. Amazon's IXDs are placed near major freight corridors (San Bernardino, Fort Worth, Lakeland). Sellers using their own freight tend to ship directly to an IXD rather than to a downstream FC. See our dedicated IXD directory at /amazon-ixd-locations/ for the full list with downstream-FC mapping.
Did Amazon close any fulfillment centers in 2024 or 2025?
Yes. Amazon closed or paused several FCs through 2024 and 2025 as it rebalanced its network. The pattern was older smaller buildings closing and newer multi-story automated buildings absorbing the volume. Recent closures include MGE3 (Atlanta), DLA9 (Dallas), and a handful of legacy FCs near older airports. The list above reflects buildings that were active as of 2026-05-19.
How do these FC locations affect Amazon's Inbound Placement Service Fee (IPSF)?
IPSF charges sellers when their inbound shipments need to be redistributed across Amazon FCs. If your inventory enters near East Coast FCs but your demand is West Coast, Amazon has to ship product across the country, and you pay IPSF for that. For standard-size goods at the Minimal placement option, IPSF runs roughly $0.20 to $0.45 per unit. The single most actionable thing this page enables is matching your prep-center location to the FC cluster that serves your demand.
What changed with Amazon's FBA Prep service on January 1, 2026?
Amazon discontinued its in-house FBA Prep and Item Labeling service for shipments created on or after January 1, 2026. Sellers now either prep themselves or use a third-party prep center. The fulfillment centers themselves are unchanged; only the inbound prep step is gone. See our dedicated page on the change for full context and verified third-party options.
Where does Amazon list the official locations of every fulfillment center?
Amazon does not publish a single official directory of every fulfillment center. The closest public sources are aboutamazon.com (regional maps and press releases on new building openings), Amazon Seller Central documentation (which references FCs by code), and Supply Chain Dive coverage. Codes that appear on your FBA shipment routing are the most reliable signal that a given FC is currently active.
