Amazon Expands Same-Day Warehouse Network in Europe
More Same-Day Warehouse Locations
Amazon said on June 4 that its Sub Same-Day delivery network will reach more than 25 European locations during 2026. The planned locations include Coventry in the UK and Nürnberg in Germany.
Customers in supported areas can order as late as 5 p.m. and receive eligible items by 10 p.m. Amazon already uses the model in major European cities including London, Berlin, Munich, Madrid and Milan.
Storage and Delivery in One Site
Sub Same-Day sites combine inventory storage, order fulfillment and final delivery in one facility. Products are stored locally, picked and packed in the same building, and handed directly to drivers serving nearby customers.
This structure reduces the distance between the warehouse and the buyer. It also allows Amazon to hold a selected range of fast-moving products closer to areas with strong demand.
UK Micro-Fulfillment Expansion
Amazon is separately expanding Amazon Now, its delivery service for groceries and essentials in 30 minutes or less. The service already operates in parts of London, with Manchester and Birmingham scheduled for expansion in 2026.
Amazon Now relies on micro-fulfillment centers positioned near residential and inner-city areas. These smaller facilities support rapid local picking and delivery rather than the full product range of a conventional Amazon FBA warehouse.
Inventory Planning for China Sellers
The expansion increases the importance of local stock availability, but it does not mean every FBA product will qualify for Same-Day or Amazon Now. Amazon controls product selection and inventory placement within its network.
China sellers should continue sending inventory only to the fulfillment centers assigned in Seller Central. Demand forecasting, early replenishment and accurate carton preparation remain important because stock must be received and available before it can support faster delivery. The June announcement did not introduce new FBA inbound routing rules.
