FBA reference · Updated · fbaprepfinder editors
Amazon FBA fulfillment center locations.
FBA inbound is routed by city, not by ZIP code. Every major US Amazon fulfillment center we can verify, grouped by region, with the codes you match against your FBA shipment plan. Use it to decide where to prep, where to ship from, and which inbound cluster your prep-center choice has to align with.
Amazon's own June 2025 list names 224 US fulfillment centers and 57 inbound cross-docks. FBA inbound is routed by FC code and city, not ZIP, and the cluster that serves your demand should drive where you prep.
Amazon publishes no complete, current FC directory. Its IPEX address list, last updated June 20, 2025, is the closest, and every row below comes from it: the major buildings most FBA inbound routes through.
- CountAmazon's IPEX list (June 20, 2025) names 292 US site codes: 224 fulfillment centers and 57 inbound cross-docks, among others. It covers sites that take scheduled inbound freight.
- CodesA 3-letter regional airport prefix plus a number. EWR4 carries Newark's prefix but sits in Robbinsville NJ; LGB7 carries Long Beach's and sits in Rialto.
- TypesSortable (small items), non-sortable (oversize), IXD (palletized freight entry), specialty (for example softlines), and extra-large (XLFC).
- IPSFThe Inbound Placement Service Fee applies when stock enters far from its demand region. Match your prep center to the right cluster.
- Jan 1 2026Amazon ended in-house FBA Prep. The FCs are unchanged; prep now happens at the seller or a third-party prep center.
What this directory is, and isn't.
A reference for FBA sellers, not an Amazon source. Read it for which FCs serve which metros and how that should shape where you prep.
- →It is a reference for FBA sellers: which Amazon FCs serve which metros, the type of facility (sortable, non-sortable, IXD), and the practical impact on inbound routing.
- →It is nota complete list. Amazon's IPEX list alone has 292 US site codes, and the network changes month to month. We list the major buildings most FBA inbound routes through.
- →It is notan Amazon page, but every row's code, city, state, and type comes from one: Amazon's IPEX Scheduled Fulfillment Center Address List, last updated June 20, 2025. Buildings can open, close, or change role after that date; the metro column is ours.
- →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 7 building types you'll see in your FBA shipment plan.
Amazon routes inbound by building type. Knowing which is which tells you where your units physically land and which fee schedule applies.
Sortable FC
Items under ~18 inches and ~3 lbs. Conveyor-based pick and pack. The default destination for most FBA sellers' inbound. Codes: PHX6, LGB7, EWR4.
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: PHX5, SCK1, BOS7.
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, CLT2.
Specialty FC
Buildings Amazon's list classes as Specialty rather than sortable or non-sortable. Most carry a Softlines tag on the list. Codes: ABE3, PHX3, ONT2.
Extra-large FC (XLFC)
Furniture, large appliances, anything that needs two-person delivery. Separate inbound process from standard FBA. Amazon's list tags some of these AMXL (Amazon XL) and others Heavy Bulky. Codes: AZA4.
Regional sort centers
Sort outbound packages by destination ZIP before delivery-station handoff. Sellers don't ship inbound here. Listed for completeness.
Returns centers
Process customer returns. Inventory typically reroutes to standard FCs or to liquidation channels. Sellers don't inbound to these.
96 major US Amazon FCs and cross-docks, grouped by region.

Sending FBA inventory to these FCs? A prep center receives it, labels and packs it to Amazon's requirements, and ships it in. Tell us your monthly units and products, and we reply with up to 5 verified centers that fit, with the rates they publish. Free, no account.
Get matched to verified centers →How FC location should change your prep-center choice.
The strongest signal on this page is the regional clustering. Five FC clusters dominate US FBA inbound volume. Match your prep center to the one that serves your demand.
Inland Empire
The densest FC cluster in the country. The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach feed it; Inland Empire prep centers and Oregon (tax-free) intake both work for this corridor.
WestFBA (CA), FBA In and Out (CA), McKenzie Services (OR, tax-free)
Lehigh Valley + NJ
Serves NYC, Philadelphia, and Boston demand. Delaware and New Hampshire prep centers give tax-free intake into the corridor.
Atlanta + Carolinas
Southeast volume hub; Georgia and North Carolina prep are the natural pair.
Dallas / Fort Worth
Central US gateway including the FTW1 IXD for palletized freight entry. Pair with a Texas or Oklahoma prep center.
Chicago + Indianapolis
Midwest demand. Illinois or Indiana prep is the typical match.
See near-me coverage for prep centers matched to each cluster, or get hand-matched by the next business day. FCs outside these five clusters (Phoenix, Denver, Seattle, Bay Area, Miami) are listed in the regional tables above and follow the same logic: match your prep center to the cluster that serves your demand, not the one closest to you.
