Kentucky holds something no other state does. Amazon’s main air hub is in Hebron, Boone County,
at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, and it is the reason parcels all over the
country show a CVG scan regardless of where they started or where they are going.
If you searched a CVG code and expected Ohio, that is why you are on a Kentucky page. The airport is
named for Cincinnati and sits in Kentucky.
The short version in numbers: 25 Kentucky facilities on record, 19 of
them carrying a published facility code, spread across 6
distinct facility types. The full breakdown is below.
Looking up a code you saw on a tracking page? Every Kentucky facility we have on record is in the table below with its code, address, and type. Search this page for your code. If it is not here, it is most likely a building in a neighboring state, because parcels cross state lines routinely on the way to you and I’d not read that as a problem.

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parcels, which is why we do not publish site phone numbers.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 Kentucky codes people look up most
The CVG codes are the distinctive ones, and they explain why so many people from other states land
here.
- CVG2 is a receive center at 1600 Worldwide Blvd in Hebron, next to the airport. Receive centers
take bulk freight from manufacturers and break it down, so nothing there belongs to a customer yet. - CVG9 is a sortation center at 2305 Litton Ln, also in Hebron.
- DKY8 is a delivery station at 3208 E Blue Lick Rd in Louisville.
- DKY6 is a delivery station at 1231 Durrett Ln, also in Louisville.
CVG is the airport code for Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International, which sits in Kentucky
despite the name. A CVG scan in your tracking means your parcel is in the air network rather than
near you.
The air hub, Louisville, and the Bullitt County corridor
Boone County leads clearly, with Jefferson and Bullitt counties level behind it, then Fayette. By
town, Hebron, Louisville, and Shepherdsville each hold five, with Lexington on three and
Campbellsville on two.
Boone County is the air network. Hebron sits beside the airport, and the facilities there include
a receive center and a sortation center rather than the ordinary fulfillment buildings most states
carry. Their job is moving freight between regions, which is why so much of what passes through has
no connection to Kentucky at all.
Jefferson and Bullitt counties are the ground network. Louisville and Shepherdsville sit on I-65
just south of the city, and Louisville has been a logistics town for decades for the same reasons
Amazon likes it: central position, interstate access, and a large air cargo operation of its own.
Lexington covers central Kentucky and Campbellsville sits further south.
Eastern Kentucky is thinly served. The mountains and the small population mean longer delivery
promises there, and I’d expect that to stay true.
What it means when your parcel is at one of these
The facility type tells you roughly how far along your parcel is, and I’d argue that is the
single most useful thing on this page after the addresses themselves.
A fulfillment center holds inventory, so a parcel there has usually not been packed for you yet.
A sortation center handles parcels that are already packed, grouping them by destination region.
A delivery station is the last building your parcel sees before it goes onto a van, which means
it is close to you and close to arriving. 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.
A word on the codes themselves. Amazon has never published its facility naming scheme, so
every decoder you find online is inference rather than documentation. One pattern does hold up
reasonably well: a leading D usually means a delivery station. Beyond that I’d read the type column
above rather than the letters, because the exceptions are common enough to mislead you.
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
Searched and found nothing? That happens often, and I’d read it as unremarkable. The
possibilities are few.
The building sits in a neighboring state. The single most common answer. Parcel networks are
built around drive times rather than state lines, and in our experience a cross-border scan worries
people who have no reason to be worried.
The site is newer than this page. Amazon commissions buildings faster than any list is updated,
so recent codes are frequently absent.
It is not an Amazon code at all. Contracted delivery partners and third-party logistics providers
run their own identifiers, which look similar and are not the same thing.
A character was misread somewhere. Zero versus O, one versus I, five versus S. When I have run
down a code that seemed impossible, a misread character was often the whole story.
Whichever applies, the sensible move is to wait for the next tracking update rather than to
investigate the address.
Other Amazon buildings you may see in tracking
Five other kinds of Amazon building turn up in tracking often enough to be worth naming, and
none of them behave like the ones above.
Air hubs move freight between regions by aircraft rather than picking orders, which is why a
parcel can appear hundreds of miles from both its origin and its destination without anything having
gone wrong. Receive centers, sometimes labeled cross-docks, take bulk shipments from
manufacturers and break them apart for distribution; nothing there is destined for a customer yet.
Amazon Warehousing and Distribution sites hold bulk stock upstream and replenish fulfillment
centers automatically, which matters to importers and is largely unknown among smaller merchants.
Returns centers grade what customers send back. And third-party partner sites are buildings
Amazon uses without owning, which is why some addresses look nothing like a warehouse.
I’d not read too much into seeing one. They are ordinary stages in a long chain.
Visiting, calling, and collecting
Worth stating plainly, because it comes up constantly: you cannot visit any of these
sites. Fulfillment centers, sortation centers, and delivery stations admit no members of the
public, hand out no parcels, and run no inquiry desk. Amazon Locker and Amazon Hub Counter locations
are the designated collection points and are unrelated to the facilities in this table.
Facility phone numbers, where other lists publish them, are the same trap. When I have followed one
up it reached a switchboard with no visibility of orders at all, so the useful route is Amazon
customer service rather than the building.
Why the Kentucky air hub matters to a seller
More than most state pages, and it is worth spelling out.
If you sell anything where delivery speed decides the sale, your goods are probably moving through
Hebron. Amazon’s air network exists to move inventory between regions faster than trucks can, and
it is the mechanism behind fast delivery promises to places that are nowhere near your stock.
The practical implication is reassuring rather than actionable: once your inventory is in FBA, the
reliability of that leg is Amazon’s problem, not yours. Our guide to
tracking shipment performance covers which
delivery failures land on your metrics and which do not, and air-network delays generally do not.
If you import by air rather than by sea, Kentucky is more directly relevant. Air freight is expensive
and occasionally correct, particularly for a first small batch of a new product where you want real
sales data before committing to a container. In my experience sellers either reach for air freight far
too readily or never consider it at all, and the middle position is the useful one.
Placement remains Amazon’s decision through Send to Amazon, and only fulfillment centers hold seller
inventory.
A note on how much weight to put on this list. I’ve found it helps to say plainly what a
page like this can and cannot do.
Everything here comes from public listings rather than from Amazon, which means it trails the real
network. Closed buildings linger; new ones take a while to appear. The type column carries whatever
those listings recorded, and in our experience that is usually accurate rather than always accurate.
Use the page to identify a code and to understand what stage your parcel has reached. Do not use it
to count Amazon’s footprint exactly, and I’d be wary of anyone who claims to.
FAQ
How many Amazon warehouses are in Kentucky?
The complete list with codes, addresses, and types appears in the table above. Kentucky carries more
capacity than its population suggests because Amazon’s main air hub sits in Boone County.
Why does my tracking show a CVG facility in Kentucky?
Because Amazon’s air network is anchored at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, which
is located in Hebron, Kentucky, despite being named for Cincinnati. Parcels moving by air frequently
scan there regardless of origin or destination.
Which Kentucky county has the most Amazon facilities?
Boone County, home to the air hub at Hebron, with Jefferson and Bullitt counties level behind it
around Louisville and Shepherdsville.
What is CVG2?
CVG2 is a receive center at 1600 Worldwide Blvd in Hebron, beside the airport. Receive centers take
bulk shipments from manufacturers and break them apart for distribution, so nothing inside is assigned
to a customer yet.
Why is Amazon delivery slower in eastern Kentucky?
Because the mountains and the smaller population mean the region is served across longer distances
from the Louisville and Lexington clusters, which lengthens delivery promises.
Does the air hub help Amazon sellers?
Indirectly but genuinely. It is the mechanism behind fast delivery promises to places far from your
inventory. Once your stock is in FBA, the reliability of the air leg is Amazon’s responsibility rather
than something that lands on your metrics.
