New Mexico is the fifth largest state by area and around the thirty-sixth by population, and its
Amazon map follows the population rather than the acreage. Almost every facility sits in or beside
Albuquerque, with one outlier in Santa Fe and one south in Los Lunas.
If you are anywhere else in the state, your parcels are travelling a long way, and that is the honest
summary of what this page can tell you.
The short version in numbers: 5 New Mexico facilities on record, 5 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 New Mexico 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 New Mexico
5 facilities, of which 5 have a published code: 4 fulfillment centers, 1 distribution center.
| Code | Address | ZIP | Type | County |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ABQ5 | 15480 Reservoir Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM | 87121 | Distribution Center | Bernalillo |
| ABQ1 | 12945 Ladera Dr NW, Albuquerque, NM | 87120 | Fulfillment Center | Bernalillo |
| ABQ2 | 6251 Pioneer Trl NW, Los Lunas, NM | 87031 | Fulfillment Center | Valencia |
| WQQ5 | 7300 Meridian Pl NW, Albuquerque, NM | 87121 | Fulfillment Center | Bernalillo |
| XAQ2 | 2516 Camino Entrada, Santa Fe, NM | 87507 | Fulfillment Center | Santa Fe |
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parcels, which is why we do not publish site phone numbers.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 New Mexico codes people look up most
- ABQ5 is a distribution center at 15480 Reservoir Rd NW in Albuquerque, and it draws the most
New Mexico searches. - XAQ2 is a fulfillment center at 2516 Camino Entrada in Santa Fe, the only facility in our
listing outside the Albuquerque area. - ABQ2 is a fulfillment center at 6251 Pioneer Trl NW in Los Lunas, south of the metro.
- ABQ1 is a fulfillment center at 12945 Ladera Dr NW in Albuquerque, the first in the state.
- WQQ5 is a fulfillment center at 7300 Meridian Pl NW in Albuquerque.
ABQ is Albuquerque’s airport code. Note that ABQ2 carries it while sitting in Los Lunas, roughly 25
miles away, which is the usual pattern of a code marking a region rather than a town.
The Albuquerque cluster, and one facility in Santa Fe
Bernalillo County holds the majority, with Valencia County and Santa Fe County holding one each.
The concentration is straightforward. Roughly a third of New Mexico’s population lives in the
Albuquerque metropolitan area, and I-40 and I-25 cross there, which makes it the only place in the
state where a facility can reach a large number of people quickly.
Santa Fe is the one site outside that cluster, about 60 miles north of Albuquerque on I-25. Los
Lunas sits roughly 25 miles south, far enough out for cheaper land and close enough to serve the
metro.
The rest of the state is a long way from anything. Las Cruces is around 220 miles south of
Albuquerque and closer to El Paso, Texas, which means southern New Mexico is frequently served from
Texas rather than from within the state. Farmington, Roswell, and the eastern plains are further
still. Expect out-of-state codes in tracking, particularly Texas, Arizona, and Colorado ones, and
I’d treat that as ordinary rather than as a detour.
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 New Mexico offers a seller, honestly
Not a great deal, and inventing significance would be worse than saying so.
New Mexico is a modest market with a small network. Send to Amazon assigns your inbound
destination, and only fulfillment centers hold seller inventory, of which our listing shows
several in the Albuquerque area.
The one point genuinely worth knowing is about the border rather than the warehouses. Southern New
Mexico sits close to the Santa Teresa and El Paso crossings, which handle substantial trade with
Mexico. If you source from Mexican manufacturing rather than from Asia, that corridor matters and
our guide to sourcing management covers
the inbound side.
A note on what we removed from this page. The earlier version carried commentary about hiring
practices and the working environment at named facilities, including claims about favoritism. That
was unverifiable opinion about specific workplaces presented as fact, and it has been taken out.
Amazon’s own hiring site is the accurate source for anyone looking for warehouse work.
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 New Mexico?
The complete list with codes, addresses, and types appears in the table above. Almost all sit in or
beside Albuquerque, with one in Santa Fe and one in Los Lunas.
What is ABQ5 and where is it?
ABQ5 is a distribution center at 15480 Reservoir Rd NW in Albuquerque. It is the most searched New
Mexico facility code. ABQ is the local airport code.
Does Amazon have a warehouse in Santa Fe?
Yes. XAQ2 is a fulfillment center at 2516 Camino Entrada in Santa Fe, about 60 miles north of
Albuquerque on I-25, and it is the only facility in our listing outside the Albuquerque cluster.
Why is Amazon delivery slower in southern New Mexico?
Because Las Cruces sits around 220 miles from Albuquerque and closer to El Paso, so southern New
Mexico is frequently served from Texas. Farmington, Roswell, and the eastern plains are further from
any facility still.
Why do I see Texas or Arizona codes on a New Mexico order?
Because much of the state sits closer to out-of-state capacity than to Albuquerque. Cross-border
routing is routine here rather than a sign of a problem.
Where can I find Amazon warehouse jobs in New Mexico?
Through Amazon’s own hiring site, which carries current openings, pay, and shift patterns by
location. We removed unverifiable commentary about working conditions at named facilities from this
page, because it was opinion presented as fact.
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
the only accurate source.
