Amazon opens, relocates and retires facilities regularly. Treat this page as a planning reference and use the destination on your live shipment plan in Seller Central as the authoritative routing instruction.
Routing freight from China to MEM1
Rail from the West Coast, or truck inland from Savannah on all-water services.
On a China-to-MEM1 move we handle factory or warehouse pickup in China, export declaration, the ocean or air leg into Los Angeles / Long Beach with rail, or Savannah, U.S. customs clearance, and the booked delivery appointment at MEM1. Because Amazon rarely sends an entire plan to a single FC, the number that matters is the total for the whole plan, not the cost of one destination in isolation.
Upload your FBA labels to our China to FBA quote and booking tool and we read every FC on the plan — including MEM1 — and return one all-in shipment total. You can also compare modes first on the China to US FBA shipping quote page.
Delivery and appointments at MEM1
Southern facilities can be served by inland rail and truck from the West Coast, or through Gulf and Southeast gateways depending on the sailing. The inland leg and the FC appointment both affect the final date, so we confirm the routing with each quote.
Typical door-delivery windows to MEM1 are 30–40 days port-to-door by sea and 6–9 days airport-to-door by air. Customs inspection, sailing changes and appointment availability can move these dates, so treat them as planning ranges.
Avoiding refused deliveries at MEM1
Most delays at Amazon fulfillment centers come from carton preparation rather than transport. We check dimensions, weights and labels at our China warehouse before loading, but the cartons should leave the factory already compliant with Amazon's inbound requirements:
- Single cartons over 50 lb (22.7 kg) without team-lift marking
- Any carton side over 25 inches for standard-size items
- Missing, damaged or covered FBA box labels — apply labels on two sides
- Carton count or contents that do not match the shipment plan
- Pallets taller than 72 inches or not on 40 × 48 inch pallets
- Missed or rescheduled delivery appointments, which can push delivery back several days
