Welcome to Amazon Fulfilment
At Amazon, we’re able to innovate and delight customers thanks to our incredible workforce – the more than 250,000 full-time associates behind our global network of fulfilment centres. Amazon Fulfilment is where our employees, technology and innovation come together every day to delight customers.
We call our warehouses fulfilment centres because the entire process is fulfilled from start to finish – inventory comes in from manufacturers and is shipped out directly to customers.
