Along with Randy over at MyBlogUtopia.com I am a big fan of the Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) program. There are significant benefits for both increased revenue (increased buyer trust and search relevance with FBA tag) and reduced costs (low fulfillment costs and “shipping bonus”).

Amazon announced this morning that it will open a 600,000 sqf warehouse in Hazleton, Pennsylvania with a projected 1,100 employees by 2011. I have promptly updated my Amazon Fulfillment Google Map with this new site.
My money on the next location is Raleigh, North Carolina. Overnight Super Saver Shipping!

Speaking of Fulfillment By Amazon, Amazon agreed last week to add a warehouse location in Whitestown, Indiana, with a workforce of possibly over 3,000 full-time and part-time resources.
