Amazon Fulfillment Centers hold anything a person can order on Amazon, according to the retail giant's website. A customer completes a purchase, and in the fulfillment center the items they ordered are pulled from the shelves, packed for shipment, and sent on their way.

The West Deptford center will be located on 60 acres at 240 Mantua Grove Road, just east of I-295, according to nj.com. There are already two sorting centers and a fulfillment center in Gloucester County.
