South Carolina FBA Warehouses

Amazon FBA Warehouses in South Carolina — 2026 State Guide

South Carolina hosts Amazon facilities in key locations along the I-85 corridor and the I-26/I-77 junction, with the state's most significant logistics asset being the Port of Charleston — one of the busiest container ports on the US East Coast.

Key facilities

Upstate (I-85 Belt)

• GSP1 (Spartanburg, 1M sqft) — on the I-85 logistics belt between Atlanta and Charlotte, near the SC Ports Authority Inland Port Greer (rail-connected via Norfolk Southern)

Midlands (Columbia)

• CAE1 (West Columbia, 1.25M sqft) — at the I-26/I-77 junction, 100 miles from the Port of Charleston

What South Carolina FBA sellers should know

1. Port of Charleston — One of the deepest ports on the East Coast, Charleston handles major container volumes and is rapidly growing. The new Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal significantly expanded capacity.

2. Inland Port Greer — The SC Ports Authority's inland port near Spartanburg/Greenville connects directly to Charleston via Norfolk Southern rail, enabling efficient intermodal logistics without trucking to the coast.

3. I-85 manufacturing corridor — The Spartanburg/Greenville area is one of the Southeast's leading manufacturing zones (BMW, Michelin, and many automotive suppliers), with mature logistics infrastructure that benefits Amazon operations.

4. Business-friendly environment — South Carolina actively recruits logistics operations with competitive incentives, low taxes, and right-to-work labor policies.

5. Hurricane risk — The SC coast (particularly Charleston) is vulnerable to hurricanes June through November. Inland facilities like GSP1 are less exposed but can still be affected by tropical system remnants.
