Amazon Warehouses in Rhode Island: Every Facility Code and Address

Rhode Island holds very few Amazon buildings and generates a remarkable number of searches about
them. Nearly three in ten queries reaching this page are somebody looking up a facility code,
which is the highest proportion of any state we have measured, and one building accounts for most of
it.

The reason is scale. When a state has one large fulfillment center, everyone in it sees the same code.

The short version in numbers: 3 Rhode Island facilities on record, 2 of
them carrying a published facility code, spread across 3
distinct facility types. The full breakdown is below.

If you are trying to identify a code from your tracking, start with the table below. It lists every Rhode Island facility we hold, alongside its address and type. Search the page for your code. Codes that do not appear here generally sit just over a state line, and I’d treat that as ordinary rather than alarming.

Every Amazon facility in Rhode Island

3 facilities, of which 2 have a published code: 1 delivery station, 1 distribution center, 1 fulfillment 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parcels, which is why we do not publish site phone numbers.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 Rhode Island codes people look up most

Two codes account for nearly every search that reaches this page.

• PVD2 is a fulfillment center at 2120 Hartford Ave in Johnston, and it is by a wide margin the
  most searched code in the state. Because it holds inventory, a parcel scanned there has usually not
  been packed for you yet.
• DRI1 is a delivery station at 115 Dupont Dr in Providence, so a parcel there is close to
  arriving.

PVD is T.F. Green Airport’s code. The pair is unusually easy to read: one storage building, one
last-mile building, and little else in the state.

One county, one very large building

Every facility on record sits in Providence County. There is nothing in Kent, Washington, Bristol, or
Newport counties in our listing.

PVD2 in Johnston is the building people mean when they talk about the Amazon warehouse in Rhode
Island. It is a large fulfillment center on Hartford Avenue, and it serves well beyond the state
line into southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut. A facility that size in a state this
small inevitably serves a region rather than a state.

The delivery station in Providence handles the final leg locally.

That concentration has a consequence worth stating. Rhode Island is small enough that almost
everything is close to almost everything, so the usual pattern of longer rural delivery promises
barely applies here. The state is roughly 48 miles from top to bottom. In our experience Rhode Island
addresses see some of the more consistent delivery performance in the Northeast, simply because
nothing is far away.

Expect Massachusetts and Connecticut codes in your tracking regularly. With a network this small, the
surrounding states do a great deal of the work.

What it means when your parcel is at one of these

The type of building tells you how far along the journey is. I’ve found that single distinction
resolves most of the anxiety people arrive with.

A fulfillment center is where inventory sits, so your order has probably not been packed. A
sortation center only ever sees packed parcels and groups them by region. A delivery station
is the last building before the van, so a parcel there is normally close to home. 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.

One caveat about the codes. The naming scheme has never been published by Amazon, so
decoders you find elsewhere are guesswork dressed as documentation. A leading D does reliably tend to
indicate a delivery station. Past that, I’d trust the type column in the table rather than trying to
read meaning into three letters, since I’ve found the exceptions turn up constantly.

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

If you have searched this page and come up empty, that is a normal outcome rather than a
problem, and I’d resist the urge to read anything into it. Four explanations cover almost every case.

It is a facility in an adjoining state. By far the most likely. Distribution networks ignore
state boundaries entirely, and in our experience people are far more surprised by this than the
logistics justify.

It opened after this listing was compiled. Amazon adds buildings constantly and any published
list trails reality by some margin.

It is a partner code, not an Amazon one. Contracted carriers and third-party logistics firms
issue their own facility identifiers that will never appear here.

The characters were misread. Zero and O, one and I, five and S all trip people up. I’ve found
this explains a surprising share of codes that appear not to exist.

In every one of those cases the useful response is the same: let the tracking update rather than
chase the building.

Other Amazon buildings you may see in tracking

A handful of other facility types show up in tracking, and knowing them removes a lot of
needless worry.

Air hubs exist to fly freight between regions rather than to pick orders, so a scan at one can
place your parcel somewhere that looks like a detour and is not. Receive centers, or cross-docks,
accept bulk freight direct from manufacturers and break it down for distribution, so nothing there
belongs to a customer yet. Amazon Warehousing and Distribution sites store bulk stock upstream
and replenish fulfillment centers automatically. Returns centers grade returned merchandise.
Third-party partner sites are leased or contracted buildings rather than Amazon-owned ones.

When I have followed an unusual scan back, it has almost always been one of these rather than a
fault.

Visiting, calling, and collecting

A point people frequently test before believing: these are not places you can visit.
Fulfillment centers, sortation centers, and delivery stations take no visitors, release no parcels
over a counter, and staff no desk that can discuss an individual order. Collection happens at Amazon
Locker and Amazon Hub Counter locations instead, which have nothing to do with the buildings above.

Phone numbers deserve the same treatment. Some facility lists publish them; I’d skip them entirely.
They reach switchboards with no access to order records, and in my experience the call achieves
nothing that Amazon customer service would not have handled immediately.

Rhode Island for sellers, briefly and honestly

There is not much here, and padding it would be worse than saying so.

Rhode Island is a small, dense, affluent market that is easy to serve because of its size. It is not a
state where inventory decisions get made, since placement is Amazon’s decision and the state holds
one significant storage building in any case.

The one genuinely useful point is about the surrounding region rather than the state. The Providence
facility serves southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut, which is a reminder of something
worth internalizing generally: the state a facility sits in tells you very little about the market
it serves. Sellers reason about state boundaries far more than Amazon’s network does, and in our
experience that produces most of the confusion about where inventory ends up.

Only fulfillment centers hold seller inventory, which in Rhode Island’s case means one of the three
buildings listed above.

How to read this page, and what it cannot tell you. I’d rather set expectations than have
you draw the wrong conclusion from a table.

The list is compiled from public listings, so it lags Amazon’s actual network and always will. A
building that closed last quarter may still appear; one that opened last month probably does not.
The type column reflects what those listings recorded, and in our experience it is right far more
often than not, without being infallible.

What the page is genuinely good for is identifying a code you have in front of you and working out
roughly where your parcel sits in the chain. What it is not good for is counting Amazon’s real estate
precisely, and I’d treat any site claiming an exact national figure with some suspicion.

FAQ

How many Amazon warehouses are in Rhode Island?

Very few. Every facility on record sits in Providence County and appears in the table above, with
nothing listed in Kent, Washington, Bristol, or Newport counties.

What is PVD2?

PVD2 is Amazon’s fulfillment center at 2120 Hartford Ave in Johnston, Rhode Island. It is by far the
most searched facility code in the state and serves well beyond the state line into southeastern
Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut.

What is the difference between PVD2 and DRI1?

PVD2 is a fulfillment center in Johnston, which stores inventory and packs orders. DRI1 is a delivery
station in Providence, which handles parcels that are already packed. A DRI1 scan means your parcel is
close to arriving.

Why do I see Massachusetts or Connecticut codes on a Rhode Island order?

Because Rhode Island’s network is small and the surrounding states do much of the work. Cross-border
routing here is the norm rather than the exception.

Is delivery slower in rural Rhode Island?

Barely. The state is roughly 48 miles from top to bottom, so the usual pattern of longer rural
delivery promises applies far less here than in larger states.

Does the Johnston facility only serve Rhode Island?

No. A fulfillment center of that size inevitably serves a region rather than a state, and it covers
southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut as well.

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
