Introduction

This article documents the global Amazon.com distribution network as at January, 2013. 

It all started in the July, 1994 when former investment banker Jeff Bezos left New  York City for Seattle to launch a new on-line book store.  Amazon.com took shape over the next 12 months and the company’s web storefront recorded its first sale in July, 1995.  By year-end 1996, Amazon.com had generated $15.7 Million in sales.  On May 15, 1997 Amazon.com raised $54 Million of capital with an IPO on the NASDAQ (AMZN).  The company grew at an astonishing pace with sales reaching $1.6 Billion by the end of 1999.

In 2000, Amazon took a sharp turn for the worse when a quarterly financial loss of $323 Million was reported. A subsequent quarterly loss of $200 Million sent the company share price tumbling by 70%.  Losses continued through 2000 with Amazon reporting a massive $1.4 billion loss for the year.  Speculation on the street was that Amazon would file for bankruptcy and the company’s stock hit an all time low.  In 2001, a major cost cutting and restructuring effort restored profitability to the firm and Amazon has not looked back since.

From a distribution perspective, Amazon started with two fulfillment centers in Seattle and Delaware. The original 93,000-square-foot Seattle facility was largely manual and now seems tiny relative to most of the new fulfillment centers being built today.  The 202,000-square-foot facility in New Castle, Delaware was undoubtedly a brave gamble back in November 1997. In 1999, Amazon expanded by adding distribution centers in: Fernley, NV.; Coffeyville, Kan.; McDonough, Ga. (later closed in 2001); Campbellsville, Ky; and Lexington, KY.  At the same time, Amazon expanded into Europe with fulfillment centers in Regensburg, Germany; Bad Hersfeld, Germany; and Marston Gate, UK.  Things then went relatively quiet on the distribution network expansion front until 2005.  Since 2005, Amazon’s network has been steadily growing both in North America and outside of the continent as well.

Today, Amazon is perhaps the most feared competitor of Walmart and Best Buy amongst other firms.  With 2012 sales revenues projected at $62 Billion, predictions on the street are that the company is expected to hit $100 Billion in sales by 2015.  To support this growth, Amazon has developed an extensive global distribution network that continues to grow at a frenzied rate.  In 2011, the company added 10 fulfillment centers totaling 8.68 Million square feet of space in North America. In 2012, Amazon opened 9 new massive distribution centers in North America (including Canada)  totaling 8.45 Million square feet. Outside of North America, Amazon added 12 new fulfillment centers exceeding 6.5 Million square feet in 2011; In 2012, Amazon opened 10 fulfillment centers in the U.K., France, Germany, Spain, China, Japan, and India.

Plans for 2013 are unfolding and to date we are aware of 9 new distribution centers exceeding 7.3 Million square feet in the U.S.  We will keep you posted as new facilities are announced.

Amazon.com’s Distribution Network in North America

As at January, 2013, Amazon.com operates approximately 42 fulfillment centers in North America exceeding 32.4 Million square feet of space.  A detailed listing of these facilities appears in the table below.  All figures provided are estimates based on research of the best information available.  We have purposely excluded fulfillment centers from other Amazon subsidiaries (e.g. Zappos, Diapers.com, etc.) in the table below.

Notes:

  • Definitions of facility types:
    • Big sortable fulfillment centers generally house items that can all fit into one box / shipment (e.g. books, DVDs, watches, etc.)
    • Small Sortable fulfillment centers generally house smaller items that can all fit in one box/shipment
    • Non-sortable fulfillment centers generally house items (usually because of size) that can not be sorted into a box with other items.
    • Replenishment centers  generally receive product from vendors and then move these products to and between fulfillment centers.
    • Customer returns centers process all Amazon.com customer returns.
    • Specialty sites fulfill specialty items sold on Amazon.com such as jewelry and clothing.
  • Facilities that have been closed or converted include:
    • McDonough, Georgia. Originally opened as the company’s 5th distribution center in October, 1999. This 800,000 sq. ft. fulfillment center employed 450 associates and was closed in 2001 after business slumped and cutbacks were necessary.
    • Seattle, Washington:  Restructuring plans in 2001 led to this 93,000 sq. ft. distribution center being converted to a seasonal facility.
    • Grand Forks, North Dakota: This 130,000 sq. ft. power tools distribution center was originally opened in 1999 when Amazon bought the catalog division of Acme Electric, a local hardware store.  Amazon closed the distribution center in March, 2005 eliminating 50 jobs, but the company converted the operation into a call center which in turn created 60 jobs.
    • Red Rock, Nevada: Originally opened in January, 1999. This 322,560 sq. ft. distribution center was closed in March, 2009 as part of the closure of 3 distribution centers as the company transferred volumes to other facilities to streamline operations.
    • Chambersburg, Pennsylvania: This 875,300 sq. ft. distribution center was also closed in March, 2009 as part of the closure of 3 facilities as the company transferred volumes to other distribution centers to streamline operations.
    • Munster, Indiana: Originally opened in October, 2007, this 75,000 sq. ft. distribution center was also closed in March, 2009 as part of the closure of 3 facilities.
    • Irving, Texas: Originally opened in 2005, this 493,290 sq. ft. facility was closed in April, 2011 after a tax fight with the state of Texas.  The Texas comptroller's office sent Amazon a demand for $269 million in uncollected sales taxes, plus penalties and interest, from 2005 through 2009.  The state contended that Amazon.com was responsible for sales taxes not collected on on-line sales made in Texas because its distribution center was in Irving.  Amazon closed the facility and 119 jobs were lost as a result.

Discussion on the Amazon North American Distribution Network:

Amazon.com’s distribution network strategy is interesting because it does not necessarily reflect an optimized distribution network in terms of serving the U.S. population from the optimal geographical location (e.g. note the conspicuous absence of existing facilities in the highly populated states of California, Texas and New York in the first map below).  Until recently, fulfillment center location decisions in the U.S. have been made based on proximity to customers in concentrated areas and state tax implications.  Sales taxation laws vary from state to state within the country and since we are not experts on this topic, we thought it best to click here for more information on this topic. In short, Amazon.com sells most of its merchandise through distribution centers which are not technically classified as retail stores. As such, the company is within the letter of the law to not charge sales tax to consumers with the exception of five states.  This provides Amazon with a significant competitive advantage over conventional retailers with retail stores that must charge state taxes at the time of purchase.  Currently 8 states have introduced Internet sales tax legislation already on the books (Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and South Dakota.), with another 9 considering the same (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico and Vermont.

To illustrate Amazon's distribution strategy within North America up until 2013,  one can clearly see the significant infrastructural investment that the company has made in Arizona, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, Delaware, South Carolina and more recently Virginia - all states that have made deals with Amazon in exchange for agreements to guaranteed job creation targets over time.

In 2013 and going forward, Amazon will stop fighting the sales tax war.  Amazon already collects taxes from Texans and this will eventually apply as well to California, Nevada, New Jersey, Indiana, Tennessee, and Virginia.  After all of the tax deals go into effect, the company will essentially be collecting sales taxes from the majority of American customers.  Amazon’s tax capitulation is directly related to a major shift in the company logistics strategy.  Instead of shipping to customers in highly populated urban centers from massive distribution centers constructed in faraway low cost states, the company will in future move to a same day shipping strategy.  The new Amazon strategy calls for the highest levels of order turnaround time for all major cities within the United States.  The goal is to enable the capability of providing the option for same-day delivery as an option for a majority of its customers.  Since the first days of the e-commerce era, this goal has been a dream for many Internet retailers but the high cost of establishing the distribution network infrastructure has been the barrier to entry.  Amazon is now investing heavily to make same day delivery a reality and we should soon expect to see major fulfillment centers arriving in Los Angeles, New Jersey and Dallas.  Looking at the maps below, one can begin to see that many cities such as Denver, Minneapolis, Miami and others have high urban populations with no Amazon fulfillment center.  From a logistics industry perspective, Amazon is the story to watch in 2013. We will keep you posted as new announcements are made in the months ahead. 

The maps below represent Amazon’s network as at January 1, 2013.

Amazon North American Distribution Network

The Amazon.com Distribution Network Outside of North America

As at January, 2013, Amazon.com operates approximately 44 fulfillment centers outside of North America exceeding 21 Million square feet of space.  A detailed listing of these facilities appears in the table below.  All figures provided are estimates based on our research of the best information available.  Most countries use a value added taxation (VAT) system which collects taxes up front at the time of purchase hence the taxation issue does not impact Amazon’s distribution network outside of the United States.

Legend / Notes:

  • Red Facilities are planned to be opened in 2013; Blue facilities are existing.
  • Facilities that have been cancelled include:
    • Iwanuma City , Miyagi, Japan: Originally planned for April, 2011, the plans for this fulfillment center were cancelled after the tragic earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit the region on March 11, 2011.
  • New facilities on the horizon:
    • Australia:  Unconfirmed rumors are circulating that Amazon will be entering the Australian market which has an estimated on-line retail sales of $12.3 Billion/year.  Australian customers are currently serviced from Germany so this move will reduce shipping costs and improve their competitive position for this market.
