In the mid-1990s, the Amazon warehouse and its office were one and the

same. A handful of employees and one lovable dog shared the Seattle

space, along with shelves and shelves of books.

Over time, one warehouse became hundreds, and they are now called
Amazon fulfilment centres. While they store millions of items and employ
hundreds of thousands of people who seek warehouse jobs, Amazon
fulfilment centres are a far cry from your typical warehouse. Read on to
learn more about these facilities, Amazon warehouse jobs, and where to
find Amazon fulfilment centre tours.

What is an Amazon fulfilment centre?

The name reflects the function: Amazon fulfilment centres are charged with
fulfiling customer orders. In other words, Amazon warehouses not only
store products but also serve as distribution centres where associates pick,
pack, and ship orders quickly and efficiently. Amazon robotics, scanning
machines, and computer systems in fulfilment centres can track millions of
items in a day. While the word "fulfilment" refers to orders, these centres
also fulfil career paths for many associates who participate in the Career
Choice program. They also fulfil the vision of engineers and developers
who innovate every day to make the work in fulfilment centres more
efficient and constantly improve the way Amazon gets products to
customers.
