OUR GOAL

Located on Aeropark Boulevard in the Mount Hope area, near John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) and key regional corridors such as Highway 6, Highway 403, and the QEW, the site supports dependable parcel flows and LTL/TL linehauls across Ontario and Eastern Canada.

Operational Specifications for YHM1

Booking and Hours
- Appointments: Required via Carrier Central
- Operating Window: Multi-shift operation; delivery windows follow your confirmed Carrier Central appointment time. Exact dock hours are not publicly specified, but the facility is designed to support high-throughput, extended-hour (often near 24/7) operations typical for large Amazon robotics FCs in Canada.
Receiving Hours
By appointment (local time, Eastern Time)
Vehicle Requirements
- Active carrier profile and a confirmed Carrier Central appointment
- Dock-high, rear unloading at a standard bay (no side or ground-level unloading)
- Typical inbound equipment by appointment: 53' dry van trailers with highway tractors serving Ontario and cross-border lanes; 48' trailers or straight trucks may be used for regional and courier-type deliveries
- Driver presents BOL/manifest, packing list, and appointment reference on arrival
- Adherence to on-site safety rules: PPE where required, speed limits, yard marshal instructions, and designated staging / parking areas for check-in
Cargo Preparation
- Pallets: Standard 40" × 48" GMA wooden pallets, 4-way access, Grade B or better (≈ 1,000 mm × 1,200 mm), consistent with Amazon North America pallet guidelines for Canadian FCs
- Box & Pallet Labels:
Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated in Seller Central (.ca)
Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied outside the stretch wrap with barcodes unobstructed and easily scannable
- Wrapping & Stability: Clear stretch wrap; stable, cubic loads with no overhang beyond pallet edges. Use corner boards, strapping, and layer pads where needed to keep loads secure and to protect cartons during transit and handling.
- Floor-Loaded / FCL: Follow Amazon’s North America Floor Loading Policy. Keep SKUs clearly segregated, maintain safe stack heights, and load cartons so that unloading and scanning are efficient. Non-compliant or poorly prepared floor-loads may be delayed, require rework at the shipper’s cost, or be refused at receiving.
- Slip Sheets: Only where explicitly allowed by current Amazon Canada guidance and confirmed in the Carrier Central appointment notes. Where such confirmation is not available, plan for conventional palletized unloading at YHM1.
