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.

How your package gets from Amazon's warehouse to your front door
From cargo lorries to planes, a look at how Amazon is planning the future of delivery.
The well-being of our employees and guests are of paramount importance to us. Due to an abundance of caution and following developments relating to preventive measures taken for health in the region regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made the decision to pause all fulfillment center tours in Europe. We look forward to re-opening the program once there is more clarity on the global health situation. Thank you for your understanding.

Our fulfilment centers
More than 250,000 full-time associates innovate every day across Amazon’s network. Fulfilment facilities run multiple shifts per day, and employees perform a number of roles - from leading teams to boxing up orders to ship directly to customers.
Safety
At Amazon, we strive for a culture of safety above all other priorities. We ensure associate safety through open dialogue and a two-way feedback system, operational meetings, new hire orientation and on-the-spot training. New process development begins with safety and has safety metrics and audits integrated within each program.
Training
Training, development and ideas for improvement are foundational experiences of working in our fulfilment centres. For some, roles in Amazon’s fulfilment network can be a way to earn money in the short-term, but for others, they can be the starting point to a career.
