- 4ad 10y agoNot true. I live in Vienna, and I order a few orders from amazon every day. Last year I had over 600 amazon.de orders. Generally I try to order only Prime stuff. The vast majority of orders (over 90%) come from Salzburg, Austria, although in a few occasions I even had same day shipping, those came from somewhere even closer.
- germanier 10y agoThey don't have any warehouse in Austria. This page has as far as I know the location of all their warehouses: http://www.mwpvl.com/html/amazon_com.html http://www.mwpvl.com/html/amazon_com.html The location printed on the label is the place they hand over the package (trucked from somewhere). I'm a bit surprised they seem to do that in such a volume in Salzburg. Previously they mostly used Allhaming (usually called Linz on packages). For example, most my packages in Germany are labelled "Radefeld - Direct" but they originate from Poland or the Czech Republic, not the Amazon logistics center near that. They also print a return address on the labels which is often another place distinct from outbound delivery (mostly Graben for me). Amazon uses multiple locations to accept packages and forward them to their warehouses. I don't know anything about their same-day logistics though. It's the first time I hear that for Austrian addresses and no mention on their homepage, too.
- poopsintub 10y agoMultiple conflicting people about where their packages are coming from? What's the chance there is a wharehouse but they can't list it for obvious tax purposes. They might be subcontracting to another company?
