The retail giant has closed or canceled 44 facilities and delayed the opening of 25 sites as of this week, according to MWPVL International, a supply chain and logistics consulting firm that closely tracks Amazon's distribution network. 

This map shows where Amazon has shuttered locations, and where it's canceling or delaying the launch of new facilities. More delivery stations are being closed than any other type of facility.

Amazon embarked on a building binge between 2020 and 2022 as it raced to keep up with a flurry of online orders as the Covid pandemic kept millions of people at home. The company's footprint nearly doubled from roughly 272 million square feet at the end of 2019 to more than 525 million square feet at the end of 2021. 

By early 2022, e-commerce activity began to slow, as inflation-weary consumers reduced their spending online and also returned to shopping in stores. Amazon found itself saddled with "too much space…versus our demand patterns," CFO Brian Olsavsky told reporters in April. 

The company is now rethinking its scale at every step of its fulfillment network, from the massive warehouses that pick, pack and ship orders, to the smaller, last-mile delivery stations that are the final stop before packages are dropped off at shoppers' doorsteps.

Amazon relies on legions of contracted drivers to speed packages to customers doorsteps. The drivers are employed by third-party companies that are part of Amazon's delivery service partner program, which launched in 2018. The program now counts 3,500 companies who employ 275,000 drivers globally.

It's unclear how many employees will be laid off as a result of the facility closures.

Amazon appears to have given some drivers the option to transfer to nearby facilities, according to a post on a popular Reddit group for delivery drivers.

Amazon said 190 employees will lose their current positions as the company closes a delivery station in Hanover, Maryland, based on a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filing submitted late last month. Another 163 employees will be affected by the closure of a delivery station in Essex, Maryland, according to a separate WARN notice filed by Amazon.

The closures are slated to begin Oct. 25, according to the filings. In a statement, Amazon said, "Maryland state law requires the filing of a WARN notice when a facility closes — even if you intend to maintain the workforce at other facilities. No employees were laid off in Maryland and every one of the employees was offered a position at a nearby facility."

The cuts come as CEO Andy Jassy has pledged to return to a "healthy level of profitability" after rising costs and slowing retail sales ate into the company's earnings. Amazon is also contending with too many workers after it went on a pandemic hiring spree. In the second quarter, Amazon shaved its headcount by 99,000 people to 1.52 million employees

Even as Amazon trims its physical footprint, it continues to open new facilities in some markets. In July, the company received approval from officials in Niagara, New York, to build a 3.1-million-square-foot warehouse.

The company is also building a site in Loveland, Colorado, as well as a 4-million-square-foot warehouse in Ontario, Calif., its largest ever.

In a statement, an Amazon representative said, "While we're closing some of our older sites, we're also enhancing some of our facilities, and we continue to open new sites as well. In fact, since 2020, we've added more than 350 new modern facilities to our network in the U.S. alone and have dozens more facilities under construction here in the U.S. and around the world."

Amazon Outlet offers cheap prices on brand-new items, while Amazon Warehouse offers sales on items that have been returned or damaged.

Is It Safe to Shop Through Amazon Warehouse?

Amazon Warehouse is perfectly safe to shop from, but you’ll want to stick to items that are graded above “Good,” so you don’t suddenly receive a product with significant damage. Check out our tips below to ensure you get the best out of your Amazon Warehouse purchase.

Tips on Shopping for Deals on Amazon Warehouse

1. Remember, it’s first-come, first serve

When you’re perusing through the Warehouse, you might find the best deal you’ve ever seen for an item on your wish list. If you’ve done your research and you’re ready to purchase, remember to act quickly because it’s likely a limited supply especially at that price.

2. Double-check that the item is labeled “Fulfilled by Amazon”

Amazon Warehouse is a legitimate place to get amazing deals, but make sure your purchases are noted as “Fulfilled by Amazon” right underneath the price and shipping section. This will help you avoid any possible counterfeit products from third-party sellers.

3. International shoppers, beware

Amazon Warehouse doesn’t ship to international addresses, so if you’re outside of America, you’ll have to stick to the main site for your shopping needs.

4. Look out for 20% discounts around Black Friday, Prime Day and Earth Day

Keep an eye out for “Save 20% at checkout” in green right underneath the product name around Prime Day in July, Earth Day in April or Black Friday in November to get even better savings.

5. Longer return policies for renewed items

If you buy an item that is categorized as “renewed,” you have 90 days total to return it back to Amazon, as opposed to the usual 30 days. You can do so by calling (800) 362-5703 and speaking to an Amazon representative, or by clicking “Get Product Support” under “My Orders.”

6. No manufacturer’s warranty

Items that are sold through Amazon Warehouse do not come with a manufacturer’s warranty, but you can still use the standard 30-day return policy if you’re unsatisfied.

7. Set up a Deal Alert

Never miss a deal again when you set a Deal Alert. You can narrow it down to the item, brand and other keywords for the product. We notify you when your item goes on sale.
