Amazon Warehouses in Missouri: Every Facility Code and Address

Missouri has an unusual shape for a state network: its two major metros sit at opposite ends,
roughly 250 miles apart, and both are on the state border. Kansas City straddles the Kansas line and
St Louis sits against Illinois, so Missouri’s Amazon facilities frequently serve neighboring states
as much as they serve Missouri.

The short version in numbers: 15 Missouri facilities on record, 14 of
them carrying a published facility code, spread across 4
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 Missouri 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 Missouri

15 facilities, of which 14 have a published code: 7 delivery stations, 5 fulfillment centers, 2 distribution centers, 1 sortation center.

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parcels, which is why we do not publish site phone numbers.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

• VMO1 is a delivery station at 4001 E 149th St in Kansas City, and it draws the most Missouri
  searches. A parcel there is close to delivery.
• MCI3 is a fulfillment center at 2361 S Withers Rd in Liberty, north of Kansas City. MCI is
  Kansas City International Airport’s code.
• STL8 is a fulfillment center at 4000 Premier Pkwy in St Peters, west of St Louis.
• HLU2 is a distribution center at 15704 Westport Commerce Dr in Maryland Heights.

STL and MCI mark the two ends of the state cleanly, which makes Missouri one of the easier states to
read from the codes alone.

Two cities, two borders, and the middle

Saint Louis County holds the most facilities, with Clay and Greene counties behind it, then Boone and
Jasper. By town, Hazelwood leads, followed by Liberty.

The St Louis cluster sits northwest of the city, around Hazelwood and Maryland Heights, near the
airport and the interstates. It serves eastern Missouri. It also serves a good deal of southern
Illinois, which is why Illinois residents see Missouri codes constantly and Missourians see Illinois
ones, and why neither should be read as a routing error.

The Kansas City cluster in Clay County, around Liberty and northern Kansas City, does the same thing
in the opposite direction, serving Kansas as readily as Missouri.

Greene County covers the southwest around Springfield. Jasper County, near Joplin, extends toward
Oklahoma and Arkansas. Boone County picks up Columbia and the middle of the state, which would
otherwise sit a long way from anywhere.

The gap in the center is real. Mid-Missouri sits roughly 2 hours from either city. Delivery
promises there run a little longer. The Columbia facility softens it, and in our experience the
difference is noticeable rather than severe.

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.

What Missouri offers, which is position

Missouri’s value is geographic rather than institutional, and it is worth understanding even though
you cannot act on it directly.

Both metros sit near the population center of the United States. That is why so much national
distribution capacity clusters in this part of the country. Inventory here reaches a very large share
of the country by ground in 1 to 2 days, which is a short list of places that can say so.

You still do not choose it. Send to Amazon assigns your inbound destination, and the fact that
Missouri is well positioned simply means the network already values what you would value.

Two practical notes.

Kansas City has substantial rail and intermodal capacity. That matters if your freight lands by
container on the west coast and moves inland by train rather than by truck, because the transfer point
is where a cheap routing turns expensive if it is handled badly.

And check which state a warehouse is actually in. Kansas City exists in two states. Only one of them
is Missouri, and I’ve found sellers fulfilling their own orders make that assumption without checking
more often than they would like to admit.

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

How many Amazon warehouses are in Missouri?

The complete list with codes, addresses, and types appears in the table above. The network splits
between the St Louis and Kansas City metros, with smaller sites around Springfield, Joplin, and
Columbia.

Which Missouri county has the most Amazon facilities?

Saint Louis County, followed by Clay County around Liberty and northern Kansas City, then Greene
County around Springfield.

What is VMO1 and where is it?

VMO1 is a delivery station at 4001 E 149th St in Kansas City. It is the most searched Missouri
facility code, and as a delivery station it means your parcel is close to arriving.

Why do Missouri facilities serve other states?

Because both major metros sit on the state border. Kansas City straddles the Kansas line and St Louis
sits against Illinois, so Missouri facilities routinely serve Kansas and southern Illinois addresses.

Why is Amazon delivery slower in mid-Missouri?

Because the center of the state sits roughly 2 hours from either metro. The Columbia facility softens
it, but delivery promises there generally run a little longer than in St Louis or Kansas City.

Is Missouri a good place for FBA inventory?

It is where the network often routes inventory anyway, because both metros sit near the population
center of the United States. Sellers cannot choose a destination through Send to Amazon, so this is a
case where Amazon’s planning already aligns with a seller’s interest.

Last updated: August 30, 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
