The warehouses are placed strategically closest to major population centers. A table shows the distances and estimated travel times between each warehouse and customer location by truck or flight, with truck used for shorter distances under 400 miles and flight for longer distances over 500 miles to minimize costs and maximize speed of delivery.

Here I took 3 warehouse as shown in the below image and also putting my
customer base at 10 different location namely:
 New York City Hall
 Philadelphia City Hall
 Boston City Hall
 Washington City Hall
 Chicago City Hall
 Miami City Hall
 Atlanta City Hall
 Dallas City Hall
 Los Angeles City Hall
 Houston City Hall
I took 3 warehouse as per the population and people order more from amazon. 3
warehouse are:
 Texas: warehouse 1
 Tennessee : warehouse 2
 Pennsylvania: warehouse 3
All the locations mentioned above are nearest to one the warehouse. That’s the
main reason to choose this. Secondly this make shipment much quicker and cost
effective as distance is minimum.

Basically Amazon has its own logistic facility to make the process faster. Here I
transported material via truck to the shorter distances which is less than
400miles. Because this is the cheapest way to transport. May we take transport
via rails as well.
Distance beyond 500 miles I usually prefer flight because it makes the transpot
much faster and safe.
Due to gradual hike of petrol price transportation becomes more costlier in
future. So we have to look for cost minimization processes which will help in
future.
