Amazon Warehouse Locations in Wisconsin: The Only Guide You’ll Ever Need

Looking for Amazon warehouse locations in Wisconsin? Below is a verified 2025 list of FC/SC/DS sites (e.g., MKE1, MKE2, JVL1, UWI1) with full addresses and county info—plus the practical context FBA and B2B shippers need: what each site type does, how to route inbound freight efficiently across MKE/GRB/MSN/ATW corridors, and how to avoid appointment and paperwork pitfalls. If you’re new to FBA, start with the Fulfillment by Amazon official overview while you set labeling and routing standards.

We keep this list lean and practical for sellers, brand operators, and supply-chain managers—not job seekers or “near me” queries. You’ll also find lightweight, FBA-ready guidance embedded naturally in the copy (no fluff), and a direct line to our Amazon SPN / ShipTrack team if you want end-to-end DDP from China/EU to Wisconsin.

How to use this guide 

• What’s in the table? Each entry shows the site code, street address, ZIP, site type (FC / SC / DS / DC), and county.

• Who is this for? FBA sellers and B2B importers planning inbound to Wisconsin or cross-state replenishment via Illinois/Michigan hubs.

• Will this help with labeling/ASN/appointments? Yes—see the “Inbound to Amazon: zero-friction playbook” section below for the essentials and links to the official Seller Central help you’ll actually need.

• Want state-by-state comparisons? We’ve also published Maryland, Colorado, and New Mexico network guides that many clients use alongside this page to design multi-state FBA inbound waves.

Why this matters to FBA & B2B sellers

Wisconsin’s Amazon footprint clusters along Kenosha–Milwaukee–Waukesha and extends north through Fox Valley and west to Madison, with a large FC presence (MKE1/MKE2/JVL1) and multiple DS nodes for final-mile breakout. For sellers, that means:

• Shorter line-haul into major population centers with the option to stage at DS for late cut-offs;

• Multiple cross-border routes via IL (I-94) and MI (I-96/US-131) to balance cost vs time;

• A natural hub-and-spoke for replenishing neighboring states without over-reliance on one FC.

If you’re building a multi-state inbound plan, it often pays to compare Wisconsin’s network density with Maryland’s Baltimore cluster or Colorado’s Front Range lane to diversify capacity and reduce dwell risk. We’ve documented those patterns in our Maryland and Colorado warehouse guides so you can mix and match state strategies as your catalog scales.

Regional routing notes

• Southeast WI (Kenosha / Oak Creek / Sturtevant). If your suppliers consolidate in Chicago or Joliet, inbound to MKE1/MKE5/DML8 off I-94 is usually the most stable. Expect predictable transit and easier trailer turns compared to pushing north during weather events.

• Milwaukee metro (MKE2 + Waukesha DS/DC). MKE2 combines metro access with quick connections to SWI1 (Pewaukee DC) and HMK4 (New Berlin DS). For fast retail/Ecomm mix, many teams drop to SWI1, then fan-out to DS for tighter delivery windows.

• Madison (HMK2) & Fox Valley (DML3, HMK3). If you’re replenishing D2C demand west and north, a Madison DS staging plus Greenville/Oshkosh breakout gives you coverage without driving everything through Kenosha/Milwaukee.

• State borders & alternates. During peak or weather, re-route through Illinois sortation or Michigan FCs and inject into Wisconsin DS the next morning. It’s often cheaper than forcing a late FC appointment.

When snow and wind advisories build, check truck operator bulletins before you finalize FC/DS gate times; the Wisconsin DOT’s official hub is the reference your carriers will quote on the road (WisDOT Truck Operator Information).

Inbound to Amazon: zero-friction playbook

This is the part that saves you time, money, and emails.

1. Labeling & carton compliance

   Use Amazon’s current FBA prep & labeling standards (carton weight/size limits, scannable FNSKU, suffocation warnings, etc.). In practice, what kills time is mixed prep standards from multiple suppliers—so unify at origin. You can cross-check the live rulebook in Seller Central Help as part of your PO checklist (FBA preparation & labeling – Seller Central).

2. Pallet & trailer standards

   Stick to 40”×48” pallets (stringer), ≤72–75 in height including pallet, stretch-wrapped with visible labels on all four sides. Overheight or mixed pallets are a common root cause of rework, refused loads, or split appointments later.

3. ASN discipline

   Send a clean Advance Shipment Notice and keep carton-level accuracy high. Downstream, that’s what drives faster check-in and fewer research tickets. ASN mismatches often cascade into delayed receiving and penalty emails.

4. Appointment mastery

   Appointments are non-negotiable at FCs. For FC deliveries, book early and arrive on time; for DS and DC, confirm gate procedures and whether a tight window exists around driver break/lunch overlaps. When in doubt, cross-dock the night before at a nearby staging lot. Use the Seller Central Help hub to review the current “Delivery Appointments” and “Carrier Requirements” pages and align your carrier SOPs.

5. Contingency planning

   Maintain a near-site buffer (cross-dock or 3PL) for weather and capacity crunches—especially in winter. If your catalog can tolerate it, split a portion through alternative states (e.g., MI/IL) and inject into WI the next day via DS to keep SLAs intact.

Want a full end-to-end SOP? Our “How to Ship to Amazon FBA: Guide” covers labeling, ASN, palletization, and appointment etiquette in depth. Many Wisconsin sellers read it alongside this location list to reduce receiving friction.

What each site type means for your plan

• FC (Fulfillment Center) – Receives, stores, picks, and packs. Appointment-heavy. Plan around dock hours and seasonal surge.

• SC (Sortation Center) – Consolidates by region/ZIP for downstream delivery nodes. Useful for cross-state balancing and faster regional turns.

• DS (Delivery Station) – Final sort and van load. Great for late-cutoff injection and stabilizing last-mile.

• DC (Distribution Center) – Bulk inbound, pallet moves, and inter-facility transfers. Handy when your catalog needs pallet-intact flow.

Example scenarios

• Fast Wisconsin metro coverage from Chicago area suppliers

   

  • Consolidate at Joliet → I-94 to MKE1/MKE5 → break out to DML8 / HMK4 → late-day injection.

• North-state demand (Appleton/Oshkosh/Green Bay)

   

  • Inject to DML3 (Greenville) or HMK3 (Oshkosh); avoid back-hauling through Milwaukee during weather.

• Multi-state stabilization

   

  • Stage a safety tranche into Michigan (GRR/DTW corridors), then next-day DS handover in WI if FC appointments get tight.

FAQs

Q1: Can I deliver mixed pallets (multiple SKUs) into the FCs listed?

Yes—Amazon accepts mixed pallets, but performance improves when shelf-ready cartons are grouped, labels face out, and pallets meet height/weight rules. Mixed + overheight is a bad combo.

Q2: Are delivery stations (DS) fine for wholesale/B2B consignments?

They’re optimized for final-mile parcels, not B2B bulk. For wholesale, route to DC/FC or a near-site 3PL and fan-out.

Q3: Will Wisconsin weather meaningfully change my plan?

In winter, yes. Build 24–48h slack into FC appointments and keep DS alternates ready. You’ll spend less than the cost of one late wave.

Q4: We ship DDP from China/EU—what’s realistic door-to-door?

Typical ranges: Air/express 8–13 days, sea+truck 25–35 days to Wisconsin FC/DS gates (allowing for customs and inland). We can fine-tune by lane.

Natural references you may want handy

When your team is setting SOPs or training new ops staff, it helps to point them to authoritative, evergreen sources (and then return to this page for WI-specific routing):

• Amazon Seller Central Help (search “FBA product preparation,” “Delivery appointments,” “Carrier requirements”) – the canonical rulebook for labels, pallets, and scheduling.

• Wisconsin DOT freight/trucking pages – useful for winter advisories and heavy-vehicle guidelines when you’re moving trailers across I-94/39/43 corridors.

You don’t need these open all day, but they’re the right places to confirm rules before you lock a high-volume wave.
