Strategic Location

CLE5 is located on Independence Parkway in Twinsburg (Summit County) within a modern industrial and logistics district east of Cleveland and north of Akron. Trucks reach the site via OH-82 (East Aurora Road) and nearby interchanges with I-480 and I-271, tying directly into north–south (I-271/I-71/I-77) and east–west (I-480/I-80 Ohio Turnpike) freight corridors.

The surrounding area includes other distribution centers, light-industrial facilities, and strong highway and transit links, allowing carriers to integrate CLE5 into multi-stop LTL/TL loops, parcel linehauls, and regional cross-dock flows while keeping Carrier Central appointments and dock turns predictable—even during peak.

• Cargo Preparation

  • Pallets (U.S. standard):

    • Use 40" × 48", 4-way access wooden pallets that are compatible with fast sortation and cross-dock handling

    • Avoid damaged, non-standard, or unstable pallets that may require rework or be refused at receiving

  • Box & Pallet Labels:

    • Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated from your shipment plan

    • Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied on the outside of the stretch wrap, upright and fully scannable at the dock

  • Wrapping & Stability:

    • Wrap pallets with clear stretch film so all labels remain visible and unobstructed

    • No product overhang beyond the pallet footprint

    • Build stable, square loads with heavier cartons at the bottom; use corner boards and strapping/banding where appropriate to keep loads stable during transit and unloading

  • Floor-Loaded / FCL:

    • Floor-loaded containers and trailers must follow Amazon’s Floor Loading Policy, including limits on stack height, carton weight, and mixed-SKU loading

    • Clearly describe any floor-loaded inbound in your Carrier Central booking so CLE5 can allocate suitable labor, PIT, and dock time and avoid delays at receiving

  • Slip Sheets:

    • Only use slip sheets where permitted by Amazon guidance and explicitly confirmed in your appointment notes; otherwise plan for standard palletized unloading
