Amazon eyeing first fulfilment centre in Dublin
The e-commerce giant is reportedly securing a warehouse space in west Dublin for packing and shipping out Irish orders locally.
Amazon is reportedly preparing to open its first fulfilment centre in Ireland, which will speed up deliveries to Irish customers.
Bloomberg first reported that the e-commerce giant is in the process of securing a 650,000 sq ft warehouse in Baldonnell in west Dublin.
This would be Amazon’s first full-fledged fulfilment centre in Ireland where orders are packed and shipped out.
Orders to Ireland have typically been fulfilled in the UK. Last year, Amazon opened a delivery warehouse in Rathcoole for Amazon Prime orders as a go-between, where its local delivery partner Zeus Logistics could pick up orders arriving from the UK. Most other Amazon shipments are currently handled by An Post.
