Amazon Warehouses in Ohio: Every Facility Code and Address

Ohio’s Amazon network is built around a fact of American geography: roughly half the United States
population lives within a day’s drive of Columbus. That is why the state carries far more capacity
than its own population would justify, and why so much of what passes through Ohio is not for Ohio. In our experience no other state produces
as many puzzled tracking questions from people who live nowhere near it.

The short version in numbers: 27 Ohio facilities on record, 24 of
them carrying a published facility code, spread across 3
distinct facility types. The full breakdown is below.

Looking up a code you saw on a tracking page? Every Ohio 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 Ohio

27 facilities, of which 24 have a published code: 15 fulfillment centers, 10 delivery stations, 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parcels, which is why we do not publish site phone numbers.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 Ohio codes people look up most

• CMH7 is a fulfillment center at 1245 Beech Rd SW in New Albany, part of the Columbus cluster
  that does the national distribution work.
• LUK2 is a fulfillment center at 1835 Union Airpark Blvd in Vandalia, next to Dayton
  International Airport.

Both hold inventory, which means a parcel showing either has usually not been packed for you yet.

Three metros doing three different jobs

Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) holds the most facilities, followed by Summit, Franklin, and Butler
counties, then Montgomery and Licking. West Jefferson, Springdale, and Akron each appear more than
once.

The three metros are not interchangeable. Each does a different job.

Columbus is the national distribution play. The Licking and Franklin county sites around New
Albany, Etna, and Groveport exist because of that day’s-drive statistic. Cleveland and Akron serve
the northern population and the Great Lakes corridor. Cincinnati faces south. It reaches into Butler
County and Springdale, toward Kentucky and the Ohio River, and it sits beside Amazon’s air hub at
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport, just over the state line.

That air hub matters more than any single Ohio building. It is where Amazon’s own air network is
anchored, and it is the reason parcels moving by air across the country often show a Cincinnati-area
scan regardless of origin or destination.

Ohio codes therefore appear in tracking nationwide. If you are not in Ohio and see one, that is
the network working as designed.

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.

Ohio is where the network wants your inventory anyway

Ohio is one of the states where Amazon’s own placement logic and a seller’s interests point the same
way, which makes the usual complaint about placement less relevant.

Stock in central Ohio reaches most of the eastern and midwestern United States quickly by ground.
That is precisely why Amazon routes so much inventory there. You do not choose this. You do not
need to. Send to Amazon assigns destinations from network planning that already values what you
would value.

The genuinely useful Ohio fact for a seller is the air hub across the river in Kentucky. If you sell
anything where speed decides the sale, your goods are likely moving through it at some point, and
the reliability of that leg is Amazon’s responsibility rather than yours once your inventory is in
FBA. Our guide to tracking shipment performance
covers which delivery failures land on your metrics and which do not.

Only fulfillment centers hold seller inventory. The delivery stations listed above do not, whatever
their location.

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 Ohio?

The complete list with codes, addresses, and types appears in the table above. Ohio carries more
capacity than its own population justifies, because it works as a national distribution point.

Which Ohio county has the most Amazon facilities?

Cuyahoga County, around Cleveland, followed by Summit, Franklin, and Butler. Franklin and Licking
counties around Columbus carry the national distribution role despite the smaller count.

Why does Amazon have so many warehouses in Ohio?

Because roughly half the United States population lives within a day’s drive of Columbus. That
makes central Ohio one of the most efficient places in the country to hold inventory destined for
the eastern and midwestern markets.

Why does my tracking show an Ohio facility when I live elsewhere?

Because Ohio serves the country rather than just itself, and because Amazon’s air network is
anchored at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport just across the state line. Parcels moving by air
frequently show a Cincinnati-area scan regardless of where they started.

What does an Ohio facility code tell me?

It identifies a specific building rather than describing it. Search this page for your code to find
its address and type. A leading D usually indicates a delivery station, but read the type column
since Amazon has never published its naming scheme.

Is Ohio a good location for FBA inventory?

It is where Amazon tends to route inventory anyway, for the same day’s-drive reason. Sellers cannot
choose a destination through Send to Amazon, so this is a case where Amazon’s planning and a
seller’s interest already align.

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
