Publish Time: October 30,2025

verified Louisiana Amazon sites and addresses for BTR1 (9001 Cortana Pl, Baton Rouge, 70815), BTR9 (3191 Webster Ln, Port Allen, 70767), DLB2 (11100 Honore Ln, Baton Rouge, 70809), DNO1 (5042 Bloomfield St, Elmwood, 70121), DNO2 (5733 Citrus Blvd, Elmwood, 70123), LFT1 (3550 NE Evangeline Thruway, Lafayette/Carencro, 70507), SHV1 (1625 Corporate Dr, Shreveport, 71107), and WLF2 (3221 Veterans Memorial Dr, Abbeville, 70510).

Why this guide

If you’re an Amazon FBA seller, brand, or supply-chain manager shipping from China or Southeast Asia into the U.S. Gulf region, Louisiana can be a smart node: you get I-10/I-12/I-49/I-20 coverage, proximity to Port NOLA for ocean routings, and a compact cluster of FC/SC/DS assets serving Baton Rouge, New Orleans (Elmwood), Lafayette, and Shreveport. This guide compiles the verified warehouse list with practical inbound advice (appointments, labeling, carton/pallet planning, and lane selection). We exclude job-seeker info and “near me” fluff—just the operations data you need.

The verified list (codes, addresses, facility type)

Notes: We list the commonly used site codes and civic addresses shippers use on BOLs and appointment requests. Where suburban boundaries blur (e.g., Lafayette vs. Carencro), we keep the street address intact.

How to use these Louisiana nodes in your inbound plan

I’ll keep this actionable and grounded—what we actually do with FBA clients routing into LA.

1) Choose the right node (FC vs. SC vs. DS) for your shipment profile

FC (BTR1, LFT1, SHV1, DNO1/DNO2) is where cartons/pallets arrive for stow/pick/pack. If your PO is created to a specific FC, ship directly there. If Amazon assigns a split (multiple FCs), weigh consolidation vs. split-ship: higher linehaul cost for multiple drops can be offset by lower downstream transfers and faster check-in.
SC (BTR9) becomes useful when Amazon workflows push parcels to sortation prior to last-mile. From a shipper perspective, you don’t “choose” SC; Amazon’s network does. But understanding the SC geography helps you anticipate ultimate service areas for your SKUs.
DS (DLB2, WLF2) are last-mile. Unless you’re doing a specialized transfer or a planned transload/rework, you won’t consigned-ship to DS for FBA; instead, your cartons flow there after FC/SC processing.

If you’re new to this structure, Amazon’s public FBA Packaging and Prep Requirements is still the canonical baseline for getting cartons and pallets accepted without chargebacks or rework. We always align our labeling/pack plans to that document before booking.

2) Build cartons and pallets that clear Louisiana’s FC docks the first time

Two killers of inbound velocity are bad carton labels and non-compliant pallets. Before you finalize your ASN:

Align carton labels, scannability, and box content info with Amazon’s help guidance (box content, barcode/label placement). It’s mundane—and absolutely non-negotiable.
If you’re shipping mixed-SKU cartons, ensure content declarations match reality. I’ve seen perfect routings get tanked by misdeclared box content requiring FC rework. Amazon’s Box Content Information explainer remains a good refresher.
Louisiana FC docks behave like any other Amazon FC: standard 40x48 pallets, stretch-wrapped, with visible pallet labels on at least two adjacent sides. Don’t over-height beyond Amazon’s pallet cap for the assigned FC.

3) Appointments & gates: plan for I-10/I-12 flows and Port NOLA variability

Baton Rouge / Elmwood (New Orleans) sites live off the I-10 corridor, with I-12 relieving through Hammond if you’re bypassing New Orleans metro. In peak windows (holiday, storm recovery), gate congestion around the Mississippi River crossings can creep.
If you’re ocean-anchoring to Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) and transloading to truck for FC delivery, remember that container availability, yard moves, and NOPB on-dock rail all influence first-mile timing. Port NOLA’s own container service materials outline the container/rail integration that underpins those drays. We plan buffers accordingly.

Bookings & appointments. Whether you use Amazon’s partnered program or your own carrier, follow Amazon’s “Book a delivery appointment” guidance to lock slots and avoid dwell. We handle this daily for clients; the public help page is still the blueprint process.

4) When splits happen, control landed cost with smart consolidation

If the PO splits to, say, BTR1 + DNO2, compare three options:

Factory-level split → two direct FC consignments (higher origin handling, lower domestic shuffle).
Consolidate in China (or Shenzhen/Ningbo hub) → one U.S. landing, then transload/relay to each FC (good when you can secure a superior ocean rate and reliable domestic TL/LTL).
U.S. gateway consolidation → land West Coast (or Houston), rail/truck to LA FCs (useful if Gulf schedules are tight or Port NOLA berths are constrained).

There’s no one-size play; we run landed-cost math that bakes in rates, check-in SLAs, and seasonality. If you’re comparing Louisiana vs. nearby Mississippi/Texas nodes, our Maryland state guide shows the same FBA logic we apply in cluster builds—helpful for seeing how we standardize across states. (For a lateral read on our approach, see Amazon Warehouse Locations in Maryland.)

5) Plan around Gulf weather and festival calendars (New Orleans is unique)

Hurricanes are the obvious watch-item, but New Orleans-area events (Mardi Gras, major sports weekends) can tighten short-haul capacity or change truck routing windows. We don’t over-engineer the risk—but we add 0.5–1.0 day of slack in those weeks and book earlier slots for Elmwood FCs (DNO1/DNO2) to absorb surprises.

6) Ocean vs. air: when Louisiana wins

If you’re pushing bulk replenishment and can accept 25–35 day door-to-door timing, Gulf discharge + truck into BTR1/LFT1/SHV1 is often a cost-efficient play. For seasonal spikes or launch fills, we fly into IAH or MSY then truck same- or next-day to the FC—always with labels squared to avoid appointment knockbacks. Align with Amazon’s routing rules (package prep and carrier expectations) before you commit uplift.

County-by-county snapshot (how to think about each cluster)

Baton Rouge (East/West Baton Rouge Parishes)

BTR1 (FC) handles standard FBA inbound; it’s the anchor for the capital region and sits right off I-12/I-110 access via I-10. The site’s Cortana footprint makes TL/53’ trailers straightforward.
BTR9 (SC) over the river in Port Allen supports sorting flows; you won’t consigned-ship to it for FBA, but it impacts where parcels route downstream.
DLB2 (DS) on Honore Ln is last-mile; keep it in mind if you run retail or FBM programs co-located in the metro.

Inbound tip: eastbound trucks on I-10 can bottleneck near the Mississippi River Bridge. We bias appointment windows away from peak commuting hours to cut detention risk.

New Orleans / Elmwood (Jefferson Parish)

DNO2 (Citrus Blvd) and DNO1 (Bloomfield St) sit in the Elmwood industrial corridor—close to the river terminals and arterial access. Elmwood is well-used for fast-cycle SKUs.
If you deploy Port NOLA → transload → FC plays, tight coordination among terminal, chassis, and appointment windows pays off. Port NOLA’s deep-water container capability and on-dock rail (NOPB) mean good options in normal weeks and faster recovery after Gulf hiccups.

Inbound tip: If a vessel ETA slides, a same-day dray + pre-stage near Elmwood can protect you from demurrage and keep your FC appointment the next day. (We only pull that lever when the math beats leaving the box on terminal.)

Lafayette / Carencro (Acadiana)

LFT1 on NE Evangeline Thruway covers Lafayette, Opelousas, and the Acadiana halo. It’s a solid FC for bulky/light mix and general FBA.

Inbound tip: If you’re routing from Houston or Lake Charles, I-10 timing is predictable; storm restoration traffic is the main exception. We pair LFT1 deliveries with Houston-landed freight when Gulf schedules align.

Shreveport (Caddo / I-20 corridor)

SHV1 on Corporate Dr serves Shreveport-Bossier and I-20 / I-49 flows. It’s strategically useful if you’re spreading inventory into North Louisiana or feeding Arkansas/Texas edges.

Inbound tip: Consider Dallas-Fort Worth gateway air or rail+truck when Houston is tight; we’ve seen total transit hold steady while cost stays competitive.

Abbeville (Vermilion)

WLF2 is a smaller last-mile node with a Vermilion footprint. It’s not an FBA consignment target; treat it as context for regional delivery.

Clean inbound execution: the short checklist we use

Confirm FC & address from your Shipment ID—ensure labels match the FC that Amazon assigned (don’t “choose” a different Louisiana site because it’s closer).
Validate packaging & prep (carton labels, suffocation warnings, over-boxing, liquids, fragile) against Amazon’s public guide. This avoids dock holds and rework.
Declare box content correctly in Seller Central (or via your 3PL’s EDI). Carton-level truth prevents inbound defects.
Book delivery appointment early. For FCs around Baton Rouge/New Orleans, mid-morning/early-afternoon slots typically minimize urban congestion.
Plan Gulf buffers (weather, festival days) and watch Port NOLA schedules if you’re draying from the river.
Document everything (BOLs, pallet photos, seal numbers). If anything slips, clean documentation speeds resolution.

Common questions

Q: Can I request to deliver to BTR1 instead of DNO2?

A: No—Amazon assigns destinations based on its network logic. We work inside that constraint by optimizing consolidation and domestic relays to hit cost/time targets.

Q: Should I split by product category (hazmat vs. non-hazmat) for Louisiana FCs?

A: Yes. Separate hazmat/non-hazmat at origin so your labels, MSDS, and declarations align with the FC’s capabilities. Mixing them creates rework, delays, and sometimes re-routing.

Q: How do I minimize appointment push-outs?

A: Lock slots early (especially during Q4 and Louisiana’s weather windows), avoid Friday late-day arrivals, and deliver compliant pallets. Amazon’s appointment workflow is standardized—following the playbook is the edge.
