Amazon Warehouses in Minnesota: Every Facility Code and Address

Minnesota’s Amazon network is the Twin Cities and very little else. Hennepin County alone holds
more than half the state’s facilities, with Dakota County second and a scattering elsewhere. If your
tracking shows a Minnesota code, it is almost certainly a building in or around Minneapolis and Saint
Paul.

The short version in numbers: 19 Minnesota facilities on record, 13 of
them carrying a published facility code, spread across 4
distinct facility types. The full breakdown is below.

Looking up a code you saw on a tracking page? Every Minnesota 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.

Every Amazon facility in Minnesota

19 facilities, of which 13 have a published code: 6 delivery stations, 5 fulfillment centers, 3 sortation centers, 2 distribution centers.

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parcels, which is why we do not publish site phone numbers.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 Minnesota codes people look up most

• MSP1 is a fulfillment center at 2601 4th Ave E in Shakopee.
• MSP6 is a fulfillment center at 9800 217th St W in Lakeville.
• MSP8 is a distribution center at 11975 Hudson Rd in Woodbury.
• DMS6 is a delivery station at 6985 21st Ave S in Centerville.

MSP is the airport code for Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and none of the three MSP facilities is actually
at the airport, which is the usual pattern: the letters mark a metropolitan region rather than an
address.

The Twin Cities, and a very large gap after them

Hennepin County leads by a wide margin, with Dakota County second, then Scott and Washington counties
holding one each. By town, Maple Grove leads, followed by Minneapolis, then Lakeville.

The spread follows the metropolitan ring roads and the interstates that feed them. Maple Grove sits
northwest of Minneapolis, Lakeville and Eagan to the south, Shakopee southwest, and Woodbury east
toward Wisconsin. It is a ring rather than a line, which is the usual shape for a single-metro state
network.

Outside the Twin Cities, Minnesota is genuinely sparse. Duluth, Rochester, Saint Cloud, and the
Iron Range are served across long distances, and the northern half of the state is a long way from any
facility. Winter compounds it: between December and March, weather delays in this part of the country
are ordinary rather than exceptional.

Minnesota also produces fewer facility-code searches than most states, which we read as a sign that
its network is simple enough that people rarely encounter an unfamiliar building.

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.

Minnesota for sellers: a market, and a winter caveat

Minnesota is a strong consumer market and not a place inventory decisions get made, since
placement is Amazon’s decision and the state’s capacity is modest.

The genuinely useful point is seasonal. Winter weather in the upper Midwest affects delivery
reliability from December through March, and if a meaningful share of your customers are here, you
will see a cluster of late deliveries in those months. Those affect your On-Time Delivery Rate
regardless of cause, which our guide to
what a carrier delay means covers, and the
short version is that the metric does not care whose fault it was.

Temperature is worth a thought too if your product is sensitive to it. Goods sitting in unheated
freight in a Minnesota January experience conditions most packaging was never tested against, and in
our experience that surfaces as damage complaints that sellers struggle to trace.

Only fulfillment centers hold seller inventory, and Minnesota’s list is weighted toward delivery
stations.

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 Minnesota?

The complete list with codes, addresses, and types appears in the table above. Hennepin County holds
more than half of them, and nearly all sit in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

What is MSP1 and where is it?

MSP1 is a fulfillment center at 2601 4th Ave E in Shakopee, southwest of Minneapolis. MSP is the
Minneapolis-Saint Paul airport code, used as a regional marker rather than an address.

Which Minnesota county has the most Amazon facilities?

Hennepin County, by a wide margin, followed by Dakota County to the south. Scott and Washington
counties hold one each.

Why is Amazon delivery slower in northern Minnesota?

Because Duluth, the Iron Range, and the northern half of the state sit a long way from any facility,
and winter weather compounds the distances between December and March.

Does winter affect Amazon deliveries in Minnesota?

Yes, predictably. Weather delays between December and March are ordinary rather than exceptional in
the upper Midwest, and they affect delivery promises across the state.

Should sellers worry about cold damaging their products?

It is worth checking if your product is temperature sensitive. Goods sitting in unheated freight
during a Minnesota winter experience conditions most packaging was never tested against, which
sometimes surfaces as damage complaints that are hard to trace.
