ARDI’s 3PL warehouse in New Jersey is a 35,000+ sq ft facility in Edison, operated by ARDI Express NJ LLC — 25 miles from Port Newark and within 65 miles of five Amazon fulfillment centers, including EWR4, TEB6, and ABE8. The site runs container unloading, WMS-tracked storage, Amazon FBA prep, kitting, cross-docking, DTC and B2B fulfillment, and returns processing. Goods in the facility are covered by a compensation guarantee at invoice value up to $100,000.
FBA prep after Amazon’s January 2026 change
Since January 1, 2026, Amazon no longer preps or labels FBA inventory in the US store — the requirement covers direct FBA, AWD, AGL, SEND, and Supply Chain Portal inbound. Unlabeled stock is turned away at FC check-in. A container landing at Port Newark now needs a prep stop before it can enter Amazon’s network.
Location
Why Edison, New Jersey
The Port of New York and New Jersey is the largest container gateway on the US East Coast — roughly 8.9 million TEUs in 2025, per Port Authority data — with PANYNJ container terminals in Port Newark and Elizabeth.
Edison sits 25 miles inland at the junction of the NJ Turnpike, I-287, and US Route 1: one of New Jersey’s strongest logistics corridors for port, NYC metro, and East Coast distribution. For Amazon sellers, the equation is port receiving, FBA prep, and short FC lanes — all inside one corridor.

Protection
Cargo Protection at the New Jersey warehouse
ARDI guarantees compensation at full invoice value (up to $100,000) for goods lost or damaged in our Edison warehouse. Coverage applies from container unloading through FBA prep to dispatch. Claims are resolved within 3 months. Goods transferred to third-party carriers or confiscated by regulatory agencies are excluded.
An East Coast 3PL base: NYC metro and beyond
Outbound lanes reach the NYC metro — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens — plus Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington, DC. The site doubles as a New Jersey fulfillment center for ecommerce fulfillment in New Jersey, with DTC parcels dispatching nationwide via major carriers. Both of the group’s warehouse locations are listed on the warehousing hub.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How far is the Edison warehouse from Port Newark and the Elizabeth Marine Terminal?
25 miles — one short drayage leg via the NJ Turnpike corridor. Port Newark Container Terminal and the Elizabeth terminals (Maher, APM) all sit within the same pickup zone, so the terminal your container lands at doesn’t change the delivery route.
Which Amazon fulfillment centers are near the Edison warehouse?
Five Amazon FCs sit within 65 miles, including EWR4, TEB6, and ABE8. These short East Coast lanes mean prepped inventory can move quickly to a fulfillment center after prep and carrier handoff.
What makes Edison, NJ a good location for a 3PL warehouse?
Edison trades dockside rents for inland rates while keeping the port one truck run away — and it sits closer to the NYC-metro Amazon FC cluster than warehouses further south. For an importer, that means port receiving and fast FC delivery without paying Newark-adjacent real estate prices.
Do you handle Amazon FBA prep in New Jersey?
Yes — the Edison site handles it end to end, with a 1–2 business day standard. ARDI Express NJ LLC is SPN-registered; details and rates: FBA prep center in New Jersey.
What changed with Amazon prep in January 2026?
For a seller, the practical rule is: route inventory through a prep provider before FC delivery — either at the factory or at a US warehouse. Freight that arrives unlabeled is refused at check-in, and refused freight means re-delivery costs and lost selling days.
Can you receive containers booked through any freight forwarder?
Yes. The warehouse receives FCL and LCL containers regardless of who arranged the ocean leg. Share the container number, ETA, and terminal — drayage is scheduled from there.
Do you provide DTC and B2B fulfillment from New Jersey?
Yes — DTC orders pick, pack, and ship from Edison across the NYC metro and the East Coast, alongside B2B pallet distribution, kitting, cross-docking, and returns processing.
What is Warehouse Legal Liability coverage?
Warehouse Legal Liability (bailee) coverage protects goods while they are in the warehouse’s care against loss caused by its negligence; a certificate of insurance is available on request. It is separate from ARDI’s compensation guarantee described in the Cargo Protection section.
What happens if my cargo is lost or damaged at the New Jersey warehouse?
Claims start with the receiving report: flag the discrepancy at check-in, attach photos, and submit through your account manager. Compensation runs at invoice value up to $100,000 under the terms in the Cargo Protection section, with resolution taking up to three months.
How is New Jersey warehouse pricing structured?
The Edison rate card runs 13 lines and is published in full on the FBA shipping rates for New Jersey page; five volume-discount tiers kick in above baseline throughput.
