Strategic Location

CMH4 is positioned on W Main Street/SR 29 in West Jefferson, Madison County, within a modern I-70 logistics park on the west side of the Columbus metro. The facility sits less than a mile from Interstate 70, with onward connectivity to I-71, I-75 and U.S. 40, placing it on a one-day truck reach to a large share of U.S. population and manufacturing capacity.

The surrounding area is dedicated to bulk distribution and industrial uses, with other large DCs, intermodal access via the Columbus rail network, and convenient reach to John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) and Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK). This concentration of infrastructure and services helps carriers keep CMH4 appointments, yard flow, and dock turns predictable throughout the year.

    • 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 labels remain visible and unobstructed

    • No product overhang beyond the pallet footprint

    • Build square, stable pallets with heavier cases at the bottom; use corner boards and strapping/banding where needed to prevent shifting in transit and during unloading

  • Floor-Loaded / FCL:

    • 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 CMH4 can plan appropriate dock time, labor, and equipment to 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
