It is Amazon’s 12th fulfillment center in Poland and is expected to provide more than 1,000 permanent jobs in 2026. Amazon also announced that hourly wages for workers at all 12 Polish fulfillment centers will increase from October 1, 2026.

For sellers serving Germany, Poland, and Central and Eastern European markets, the main implications concern regional inventory placement, inbound capacity, and delivery speed rather than platform commissions. Sellers using FBA or planning to position inventory in Poland should also assess storage transfers, VAT, packaging, and inventory turnover costs.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
The opening of the Dobromierz fulfillment center could improve inbound capacity and delivery speed in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe, but it does not represent a change in platform commissions. Sellers using FBA or planning to position inventory in Poland should reassess transfer, VAT, packaging, storage, and inventory turnover costs.
