- Fulfillment Centers (North America Customer Fulfillment - NACF Network)
- Sort Centers (North America Sort Center - NASC Network)
- Medium-sized facilities, localized close to larger markets, where goods are sorted for delivery (middle-mile). These buildings receive packaged orders and help the last-mile network deliver products on-time more efficiently. Orders are sorted by zip code, region, and size. These buildings operate most similarly to a regional post office or large third-party logistics building.

- Delivery Stations (Amazon Logistics - AMZL Network)
