The honest answer, and the one most pages dance around: Amazon has no fulfillment center in
Hawaii. What the state has is a delivery station in Honolulu and a small number of partner sites.
Nothing in Hawaii stores inventory in the way a mainland fulfillment center does.
That single fact explains almost everything Hawaii residents notice about ordering from Amazon, and
I’d rather lead with it than bury it under a list.
The short version in numbers: 3 Hawaii facilities on record, 1 of
them carrying a published facility code, spread across 2
distinct facility types. The full breakdown is below.
Came here from a tracking page with a code you did not recognize? The table below carries every Hawaii facility on our record, with its code, address, and type. Use your browser’s find function. A code that is missing usually belongs to a neighboring state, which in my experience worries people far more than it should.
Every Amazon facility in Hawaii
3 facilities, of which 1 have a published code: 2 third-party partner sites, 1 delivery station.
| Code | Address | ZIP | Type | County |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DHI2 | 2101 Auiki St, Honolulu, HI | 96819 | Delivery Station | Honolulu |
| (not listed) | 819 Moowaa St #106, Honolulu, HI | 96817 | Third-party partner site | Honolulu |
| (not listed) | 94-1420 Moaniani St, Waipahu, HI | 96797 | Third-party partner site | Honolulu |
Addresses are compiled from public listings. Amazon opens, closes, and repurposes buildings
continually, and no facility on this list accepts visitors or takes calls about individual
parcels, which is why we do not publish site phone numbers.
The Hawaii code people look up most
Effectively one code accounts for nearly all Hawaii searches.
- DHI2 is a delivery station at 2101 Auiki St in Honolulu. It is the building most Hawaii parcels
pass through on the way to an Oahu address.
The remaining Hawaii entries in our listing are third-party partner sites rather than Amazon-operated
buildings, which is why they carry no Amazon facility code. There is no fulfillment center code for
Hawaii because there is no fulfillment center.
Why Hawaii is served from 2,400 miles away
Every facility on record sits in Honolulu County, on Oahu. There is nothing on Maui, Kauai, Hawaii
Island, or Molokai in our listing.
The reason is arithmetic. A fulfillment center works by holding a very large assortment close to a
very large population. Hawaii’s population is roughly 1.4 million spread across several islands
separated by open ocean, which is not enough demand in one place to justify holding millions of
items, and inter-island freight would erase the benefit anyway.
So Hawaii is served from the west coast, about 2,400 miles away. Goods travel by sea or air to
Honolulu, then through the delivery station and onward, with a second inter-island leg for anyone not
on Oahu.
The practical effects are consistent and worth knowing. Delivery windows are longer than mainland
Prime promises even for Prime members. Some items are not available to Hawaii addresses at all,
particularly hazardous materials, aerosols, and anything that cannot fly. Oversized goods can carry
surcharges. And neighbor-island addresses wait longer again. None of that is a service failure. In
our experience it is simply the geography, and I’ve found people are far less frustrated once they
understand which part is fixable and which is not.
What it means when your parcel is at one of these
Knowing what kind of building your parcel is sitting in changes how much patience the situation
deserves, and in our experience most people worry at exactly the wrong moment.
Inventory lives at a fulfillment center, so a parcel scanned there has generally not been picked
and packed yet. A sortation center deals only with packed parcels, sorting them toward the right
region. A delivery station is the final stop before a van, and I’d expect delivery within a day
or so of seeing one. Our guide to the different types of Amazon warehouse
covers what happens inside each, and sortation center versus fulfillment center
covers the pair people confuse most.
On the codes themselves, a caution. Amazon does not publish how it names facilities, which
means any lookup table circulating online is somebody’s inference. The leading D for a delivery
station is the one convention that mostly survives scrutiny. For everything else, in our experience
the type column above is the safer guide than anything the letters appear to suggest.
If the parcel has stopped moving entirely, our guide to what a carrier delay means
covers how long to wait before it is worth doing anything, and our guide to
a disappeared order covers the case where
the order itself has vanished from your account rather than the parcel from the network.
If your code is not on this list
Plenty of people arrive here, search for their code, and find nothing. I’d not treat that as a
dead end, because there are only a few explanations and none of them are alarming.
The building is over a state line. Much the commonest reason. Parcel networks pay no attention to
borders, and neighboring states routinely handle each other’s volume. In our experience this accounts
for the large majority of missing codes.
The facility is newer than this listing. Amazon opens buildings continually and no compiled list
keeps pace. If the code looks unfamiliar and recent, that is likely why.
The code belongs to a partner rather than to Amazon. Contracted delivery firms and third-party
logistics providers generate their own scan codes, which never appear on a list of Amazon facilities.
You misread a character. Genuinely common. Zero against O, one against I, five against S. When I
have chased a code that seemed not to exist, roughly half the time it was a transcription slip.
None of these change what you should do, which is wait for the tracking to update rather than
investigate the building.
Other Amazon buildings you may see in tracking
Beyond fulfillment, sortation, and delivery, several other building types appear in tracking,
and each explains a different oddity.
An air hub exists to move freight between regions by plane, so a scan there can put your parcel a
long way from anywhere you expected. A receive center, also called a cross-dock, takes bulk
inbound freight from manufacturers and splits it for onward distribution, meaning nothing inside is
assigned to a customer. Amazon Warehousing and Distribution holds bulk inventory upstream and
tops up fulfillment centers on its own schedule. Returns centers inspect and grade what comes
back. Third-party partner sites are contracted rather than owned, which is why the address
sometimes looks like an ordinary industrial unit.
In our experience these account for most of the tracking scans people cannot make sense of.
Visiting, calling, and collecting
One question worth answering before you ask it: none of these buildings are open to the
public. Fulfillment centers, sortation centers, and delivery stations do not accept visitors, do
not hold parcels for collection, and do not have a desk that will discuss your order. If you need to
collect something, Amazon Locker and Amazon Hub Counter locations are the designated points, and
they are entirely separate from the facilities listed here.
The same goes for phone numbers. Several published lists of Amazon facilities include site numbers,
and I’d ignore them. They ring switchboards that cannot look up an order, and in our experience
people waste an afternoon on that before calling Amazon customer service, which is where the
question belonged in the first place.
Selling into Hawaii, which is its own decision
This is the one state where the seller angle is genuinely about the customer rather than about
warehousing, because there is no warehousing to discuss.
Hawaii is expensive to serve and easy to serve badly. If you fulfill your own orders, shipping
costs to Hawaii are far above the mainland average, and sellers who quote a flat national rate lose
money on every Hawaiian order or quietly exclude the state. If you use FBA, Amazon handles it and the
cost sits inside your fees rather than landing on you per order.
Two things worth checking. First, whether your product can legally and physically travel there at
all: batteries, aerosols, liquids, and anything classed as hazardous face restrictions. Second,
whether your delivery promise is realistic, because a missed promise damages your On-Time Delivery
Rate regardless of the distance involved. Our guide to
what a carrier delay means covers how that
metric behaves when the cause is outside your control, which is that it does not care.
I’d treat Hawaii as a deliberate decision rather than a default. In our experience sellers either
serve it properly or should exclude it honestly, and the middle option produces the complaints.
What this page is for, and what it is not. Worth being direct about, because I’ve found
readers assume more precision than any compiled list can offer.
The data comes from public listings, not from Amazon, so it lags reality in both directions:
recently closed sites may persist, recently opened ones may be missing. The type column repeats what
those listings said. In our experience it holds up well, though not perfectly.
Treat the page as a lookup for a code you already have and as a way to place your parcel in the
sequence. I’d not treat it, or any similar list, as an exact census of Amazon’s buildings.
FAQ
Does Amazon have a warehouse in Hawaii?
Amazon operates a delivery station in Honolulu, plus a small number of third-party partner sites.
There is no Amazon fulfillment center in Hawaii, so no inventory is stored in the state in the way it
is on the mainland.
What is DHI2?
DHI2 is Amazon’s delivery station at 2101 Auiki St in Honolulu. It is the building most Hawaii-bound
parcels pass through before final delivery on Oahu.
Why does Amazon delivery take longer in Hawaii?
Because goods travel roughly 2,400 miles from the west coast by sea or air before they reach
Honolulu, and neighbor-island addresses add a further inter-island leg. Delivery windows are longer
than mainland Prime promises as a result.
Are there Amazon facilities on Maui, Kauai, or Hawaii Island?
Not in our listing. Every facility on record sits in Honolulu County on Oahu, which is why
neighbor-island deliveries take longer than Oahu ones.
Why are some Amazon items unavailable in Hawaii?
Because items that cannot travel by air or sea safely are restricted, including many hazardous
materials, aerosols, and certain batteries and liquids. Oversized goods can also carry surcharges
that make them impractical.
Should sellers ship to Hawaii?
It is worth treating as a deliberate decision. Self-fulfilled shipping costs to Hawaii run far above
mainland rates, so a flat national shipping rate loses money on every order. FBA absorbs the
difference into your fees instead.
Last updated: August 29, 2026. Compiled from public listings; Amazon’s facility network changes
continually and this page will lag it. Facilities do not accept visitors or handle parcel
inquiries. For warehouse employment, Amazon’s own hiring site carries current openings and is
the only accurate source.
