Strategic Location

CMH1 is positioned along National Road (U.S. 40) in Etna Township, Licking County, in a corporate park situated between Interstate 70 and U.S. 40 on the eastern edge of the Columbus metro. Direct access to I-70 links the site efficiently to Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis and the I-75 corridor, while U.S. 40 and regional routes connect into Newark, Zanesville and other central-Ohio markets.

The fulfillment center sits within a purpose-built logistics zone developed to handle high truck volumes, with upgraded road layouts and proximity to Columbus’ broader distribution, parcel, and intermodal network. This combination of interstate access and modern industrial infrastructure supports reliable Carrier Central appointments, consistent dock turns, and integration of CMH1 into both long-haul and regional LTL/TL loops.

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

    • Clearly describe any floor-loaded inbound in your Carrier Central booking so CMH1 can plan appropriate labor, PIT, and dock time and avoid delays

  • Slip Sheets:

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