Marketplace fulfillment intelligence

What the primary sources actually confirm.

Marketplace warehouse searches are full of recycled location lists. This research hub starts with company filings, official marketplace documents, government/official facility records and operator-controlled sources — then separates confirmed facilities from offices, partner networks and unverified claims.

Not a complete global facility census. Marketplace networks change and many facilities are operated by third parties. Each page states what the cited sources prove — and what they do not.

Current intelligence files

Temu · U.S. local fulfillment

Seller/partner model vs “Temu warehouse” claims

Terms, Seller Center, partner documentation and PDD’s SEC filing clarify who sells local-warehouse products and how fulfillment partners fit the model.

SHEIN · U.S. network

Confirmed warehouse vs logistics office

Separates the confirmed Whitestown distribution center, Bellevue logistics office and SHEIN’s documented third-party warehouse requirements.

Amazon · IXD

Official inbound cross-dock facility evidence

Selected IXD site codes, physical addresses and receiving hours drawn from Amazon’s official IPEX facility list.

Evidence hierarchy

Official marketplace / corporate document or SEC filing.
Official facility list, government record or development-agency source.
Warehouse operator-controlled page when the operator relationship itself is documented.
Reliable trade reporting as supporting context — clearly labeled, never silently upgraded to “confirmed.”
SEO articles, Reddit and map listings are discovery leads, not final evidence.

Why this belongs on FBA Prep Ship

The directory tells sellers which 3PLs can handle inventory. Marketplace Fulfillment Intelligence explains the receiving network that inventory is entering. Together they answer a more useful question than “where is a warehouse?”: what facility or fulfillment model is actually documented, and what must a seller or 3PL prepare before the handoff?
