Amazon Fulfillment Center DCN1 Fairfield, OH

DCN1 serves Fairfield, the greater Cincinnati metro area, and southwest Ohio as an Amazon Logistics delivery station receiving parcels and linehaul trailers from upstream fulfillment centers, then sorting them into local routes for last-mile delivery. Our role is to make deliveries appointment-clean: correct labels, compliant pallets, and accurate paperwork—so freight is received without delays. Located on Port Union Road near the Union Centre / I-75 and OH-747 industrial corridor, the site supports dependable parcel flows and LTL/TL linehauls across Cincinnati, Dayton, and the wider Ohio–Kentucky–Indiana (OKI) region.

Strategic Location

DCN1 is positioned at 4250 Port Union Road in Fairfield (Butler County), within a dense I-75 / I-275 logistics clusterthat also serves nearby West Chester Township and Hamilton. From Port Union Road, trucks connect quickly to OH-747, the Union Centre Boulevard interchange with I-75, and then to I-275 circling the Cincinnati metro. This offers direct north–south access toward Dayton, Toledo, and Detroit, and east–west links toward Columbus, Louisville, and Indianapolis via the regional interstate network.

The surrounding industrial parks host major DCs, 3PLs, and trucking companies, providing easy access to drop lots, trailer yards, and maintenance services. For carriers, this means DCN1 can be integrated smoothly into multi-stop LTL and parcel linehauls while keeping Carrier Central appointments and dock turns predictable, even during peak season.

  • Wrapping & Stability:

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

    • No product overhang beyond the pallet footprint

    • Stack cartons evenly with heavier items at the bottom; use corner boards and strapping/banding where needed to keep loads stable in transit and during unloading

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

    • Clearly describe any floor-loaded inbound in your Carrier Central booking so DCN1 can allocate adequate labor, PIT, and dock time and avoid delays

  • Slip Sheets:

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