Amazon warehouse codes can be confusing the moment a shipping plan assigns a four-character code like BWU2 or MEL5 with no address attached. Amazon's Australian Inbound Carrier Manual, last updated 23 July 2026, lists active fulfilment-centre sites across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia.
BWU2 is a fulfilment centre in Kemps Creek, NSW, while MEL5 is a fulfilment centre in Ravenhall, Victoria. Other current Australian codes use different prefixes, so the code should be checked against Amazon's current facility information rather than used to assume a location.
This guide decodes the current Australian Amazon facility codes state by state.

Amazon identifies each Australian fulfilment centre with a four-character code. Some codes provide a useful location clue through their prefix, while others do not follow an obvious state or city abbreviation. This means sellers can sometimes recognise the general location from a code, but they should verify the full facility details before arranging freight.
The pattern also varies across fulfilment centres, sortation centres and last-mile delivery stations. Amazon does not provide one universal glossary that explains every code across these facility types.
Some codes, such as BNE1 and MEL1, provide an apparent location clue, while others use prefixes that do not clearly include a state or city.
If Amazon assigns a code you do not recognise, do not rely on the prefix alone to choose a freight destination. Check the assigned address in your shipping plan or Seller Central before booking the shipment.
Sending freight to the wrong facility can result in the delivery being rejected.
Amazon's Australian Inbound Carrier Manual identifies each fulfilment centre with a four-character code and provides the corresponding facility details. The code identifies the destination facility, but it should not be treated as an indicator of delivery speed or carrier.
Freight must be directed to the facility specified in the relevant shipping plan and current Amazon documentation. The manual currently lists fulfilment centre codes across five states:
Some codes do give a useful clue. BNE1 is the Lytton, Queensland facility; MEL1 is in Dandenong South, Victoria; and BWU2 is in Kemps Creek, New South Wales.
Two of the newer sites were confirmed as new fulfilment centres in Amazon's own Seller Forum announcements, not just the manual.
For sellers managing regular restocks or higher delivery volumes into these sites, inbound logistics for Amazon sellers in Australia covers the prep, labelling and appointment-booking steps that keep FBA deliveries compliant.
Amazon's Inbound Carrier Manual names each Australian site with a four-character code and pairs it with a full site address, so the code functions as a delivery destination rather than a delivery-time estimate.
The table below lists the current Australian fulfilment-centre codes identified in Amazon's latest manual, cross-checked against Amazon's facility announcements where available.
For each code, it shows the corresponding suburb and facility type, allowing sellers to distinguish between fulfilment centres, sorting centres and last-mile or logistics stations before arranging freight.
Amazon's allocation process depends on whether a product meets the receiving requirements of a particular facility and whether that site has capacity for the shipment. Product size is an important eligibility factor. Amazon's manual states that certain larger products can only be inbounded at specified facilities.
Once Amazon identifies eligible facilities, its capacity system determines where it receives the stock. Sellers should not assume that they can select a facility based on proximity or preference.
If Amazon assigns a warehouse code to your shipment, use the code to identify the facility but confirm the full address before arranging freight. This is particularly important when the code does not provide an obvious location clue.
The codes SYD1 and BWU2 illustrate how Amazon uses four-character facility identifiers. The prefix can provide a location clue in some cases, while the final number distinguishes the facility within the relevant naming system.
However, Amazon does not publish a universal character-by-character key, so sellers should not infer more from the individual letters or number than the available facility information supports. The code does not indicate the delivery timeframe or which carrier will deliver the shipment to that facility. Those details must be confirmed separately when arranging the freight.
A seller also needs the physical address of the assigned Amazon facility, which should be taken from the current shipping plan and Seller Central rather than inferred from the code.
For example, a homewares brand in Melbourne that has confirmed its Amazon shipping plan points to a Victorian fulfilment centre. They may need to ship a single palletised restock from their warehouse to that assigned facility.
The first step is to confirm the warehouse code and physical address in the Amazon shipping plan. The seller can then arrange freight to that specific receiving destination.
Couriers & Freight provides full truckload (FTL) freight for this type of shipment. The entire restock travels on one dedicated truck to the assigned Amazon warehouse. This keeps the inventory together rather than splitting it across several smaller consignments.
