Photo by NICK PROCAYLO / 10108212A Online retail giant Amazon has made a gigantic bet — the size of 9½ Canadian Football League fields — on its B.C. logistics chain with a new warehouse in Pitt Meadows that will serve as a hub for distribution operations in the Lower Mainland.

Approaching the centre's glass-fronted administration building, the warehouse looks like a blocks-long great wall that stretches out almost to the edge of a person's view.

It's staffed at the outset by a crew of 100, mostly associates, who are receiving truckloads of new inventory and stacking it on the rows of tightly spaced shelving that stretch half the length of the building. Aruchamy said about half the space is being used now, but is slowly filling up. On a visit Friday morning, the quiet within the cavernous space was sporadically punctuated by horn honks on the battery-powered self pickers — stacking forklifts that lift up cage platforms for workers to put inventory on shelves. The new warehouse, identified as YXX1 in Amazon's system, is the first storage and distribution centre in B.C. in a location picked, in part, based on the company's objective to 'be closer to customers,' Aruchamy said.

'British Columbia is one of our biggest markets within Canada and we want to make things faster for customers, get closer to the customers,' he added. And 'the Lower Mainland is a very strategic location.' Narrowing down the specific location is a formula that involves finding a site that is close enough to the customer fulfilment centres in Tsawwassen, Delta, Richmond and New Westminster that is also big enough to hold the inventory it needs to, Aruchamy said. 'There are multiple factors which goes into deciding how big a facility needs to be,' Aruchamy said. 'We call it working backwards.'

'What percentage of our orders get delivered within the same day and within one day or two days.' Then it's a matter of building a warehouse that can accommodate the amount of shelving, the number of forklifts and truck bays to house and move around that estimated stockpile of inventory. During Friday's tour, workers were busy taking merchandise off trucks, running them along conveyors to be scanned into inventory, then placing them in the cages that pickers move to shelves for storage. The facility fits in at the front end of Amazon's logistics chain — no customer orders are picked and packed in Pitt Meadows. Instead, on the other side of the loading dock, workers are reversing the process — taking merchandise requested by its four customer fulfilment centres, sorting those orders, scanning them again and putting them back on trucks. Large video displays indicate one truck is heading to Richmond and one is destined for Edmonton. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

'So I think we have a good infrastructure available (in Pitt Meadows),' Aruchamy said. 'Sometimes we have a bigger facility, but we take the best possible real estate possible,' he added. 'Then also it has to work out for us financially because we want to deliver products faster, but also not cost a lot.' The timing of its opening might be awkward due to cross-border trade tensions. About 55 per cent of Canadians polled by Leger Marketing in a survey in March declared they would cut back on orders from U.S. headquartered Amazon as a protest over threatened U.S. tariffs, President Donald Trump's threats to Canadian sovereignty and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' apparent closeness with Trump.
