New York FBA Warehouses

Amazon FBA Warehouses in New York — 2026 State Guide

New York hosts 11 Amazon facilities across 11 cities, anchored by the iconic JFK8 on Staten Island — one of the largest fulfillment centers in the world. Despite New York City's famously expensive real estate, the state's massive consumer density (20 million people) makes it essential for Amazon's same-day and next-day delivery promises.

Key facilities

New York City Metro

• JFK8 (Staten Island, 5.4M sqft) — Amazon's flagship NYC fulfillment center, one of the company's largest globally. It's also where the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) won the first successful union election in Amazon's US history in 2022.

Hudson Valley

• SWF1 (Rock Tavern) — serves the mid-Hudson Valley and provides overflow capacity for the NYC metro
• SWF2 (Hopewell Junction) — additional Hudson Valley facility

Upstate New York

• ALB1 (Castleton) — serves the Albany Capital Region and upstate New York

What New York FBA sellers should know

1. Consumer density is unmatched — The NYC metro area has 20 million people within a 50-mile radius. Amazon prioritizes fast delivery to this market.

2. Cross-state logistics — NYC-bound freight often passes through New Jersey (EWR4, TEB6) and Pennsylvania (ABE2, ABE3) facilities. The tri-state area functions as a single logistics market.

3. Tolls and congestion — Reaching Staten Island (JFK8) involves bridge tolls and urban congestion. Plan routes carefully and budget for tolls on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, George Washington Bridge, and NJ Turnpike.

4. Winter operations — Upstate New York and the Hudson Valley experience harsh winters with significant snowfall. I-87 (Thruway) and I-90 can be hazardous November through March.

5. High labor costs — New York's minimum wage and cost of living are among the highest in the country, reflected in the state's role as a high-demand rather than high-volume node.
