Top 7 Implications of AI-Driven Commerce for Fulfilment
29 March 2026
OUR GOAL
To provide an A-to-Z e-commerce logistics solution that would complete Amazon fulfillment network in the European Union.
Amazon PER4, situated within the Jandakot Airport Commercial Precinct, is a cornerstone of Amazon’s expansion in Western Australia. Spanning over 20,000 square meters—roughly the size of the WACA Ground—this $70 million facility houses over 3 million items, ranging from electronics to large-format consumer goods.
Amazon PER4 at a Glance
For a smooth and compliant inbound process at Amazon PER4, please review these specific operational details to ensure your freight aligns with the Western Australian market's requirements.
FC Code: PER4
Full Address: 2 Centurion Pl, Jandakot WA 6164, Australia
Booking System: All deliveries require a confirmed appointment through Carrier Central.
GLN Code: Not publicly disclosed.
Pallet Exchange: No pallet exchange available.
Deep Sea Imports: Freight typically arriving via Port of Fremantle must be deconsolidated and palletized to Australian standards before reaching the Jandakot gate.
Notice Period: Appointments must be requested at least 24 hours in advance.
Sustainability Hub: The site features a 1.5 MW solar system and water-efficient fixtures; ensure all dunnage materials are recyclable to align with Amazon’s green initiatives.
Strategic Location
The strategic value of PER4 lies in its location at Jandakot Airport, providing immediate connectivity to the Kwinana Freeway and Roe Highway. This positioning is vital for bypassing the long overland transit from the East Coast, allowing sellers to position stock directly in Western Australia. For European exporters, PER4 offers a direct "first-port" advantage for shipments arriving via the Indian Ocean. However, success depends on the stability of your cargo; the transit to Perth involves significant maritime movement. Ensuring your pallets are professionally braced and audited in a European hub is essential to prevent "seller damage" fees upon arrival in Jandakot.
Operational Specifications for PER4
To maintain operational flow and avoid safety-related refusals at the PER4 dock, your freight must strictly align with the following localized protocols.
Booking and Hours
Booking System: All deliveries must be scheduled via Amazon Carrier Central (AUS).
Receiving Windows: Standard operations run from 8:00 to 16:00.
Appointment Policy: The actual number of pallets must match the appointment exactly. Discrepancies often lead to immediate gate refusal.
Receiving Model

- SPD Limit: Small Parcel Deliveries are limited to 15 boxes per shipment. Larger volumes must be palletized.

Securing Your Supply Chain Before the Ocean Freight
Entering the Western Australian market demands absolute precision, particularly when managing inventory from the other side of the world. Because FLEX. operates strictly within European borders, we provide the foundational quality control necessary before your cargo ever sets sail across the Indian Ocean. Our strategy focuses on critical cross-continental checkpoints to ensure your European infrastructure seamlessly supports your Perth-bound expansion. First and foremost is the strict 22.6 kg carton limit at PER4, which remains entirely non-negotiable.
By leveraging our pre Amazon storage solutions at your European origin, we physically hold, audit, and validate every box to guarantee full compliance with Australian safety protocols long before departure. Furthermore, since PER4 is one of Amazon's flagship sustainable sites, the shipping materials you choose matter immensely. We actively assist you in transitioning to approved, recyclable dunnage and compliant wooden pallets right from our EU facilities, aligning your shipments with Perth's rigorous environmental and biosecurity standards.
Additionally, a single unreadable barcode at the Jandakot gate can instantly stall your entire Western Australian rollout. We meticulously cross-check every FBA label and SKU at our European staging areas, ensuring cross-border barcode integrity for a flawless induction upon arrival. Managing the administrative burden of international freight is just as complex as the physical preparation, which is why we also provide specialized import / export customs clearance for online sellers to ensure your commercial documentation perfectly matches your physical load, keeping your overseas exports moving without costly border delays.
For a broader strategic view, you can always consult our Amazon Fulfillment Centers directory to map out the operational differences between your European hubs and the PER4 facility.
