COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (WOWT-TV) – Amazon’s new facility in Council Bluffs will allow for same-day delivery consistently in the Omaha metro for the first time. According to a news release from Amazon, the facility in Council Bluffs will be able to enable fulfillment, sorting, and delivery all from the same location.

Amazon officials said that their Council Bluffs site is the first to allow for same-day delivery in the metro, saying that items will be able to be delivered to the Omaha metro area within a four to five hour delivery window. Previous instances of same-day delivery in the metro were due to coincidental inventory in nearby facilities, according to Amazon.

In conjunction with the facility’s opening in December of 2024, Amazon said they donated $15,000 to the Council Bluffs Community School District to support STEM education initiatives.

The new facility in Council Bluffs is the first to serve the Omaha area, but is the 4th in the state of Iowa. Amazon also has a fulfillment center in Papillion, NE.
