Amazon Inbound Cross Dock Facilities Network

Major online retailers, such as Amazon, have replicated and adapted the inbound cross-docking facilities developed by conventional retailers in the 1990s to transload containers into domestic loads. Such facilities have pronounced port-centric locations. In the United States, more than 61% of the footprint of the inbound cross-docking facilities developed by Amazon are on the East and West coasts, with a Pacific orientation.
