Mexico Warehouse
Our Monterrey-area warehouse is where your freight becomes a domestic shipment. It receives goods after they have cleared Mexican customs and sends them out to customers across the country on local carriers. The building sits 227 km from our Laredo warehouse, about 2 hours 51 minutes by road, which makes it the first stop after the border crossing.
Receiving hours
Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00

Why Monterrey
The Monterrey industrial belt is the reason the building is here rather than closer to Mexico City. Monterrey is the first major distribution point after the Laredo crossing, so freight reaches a real warehouse the same day it clears rather than spending a night in transit. From here the national carrier network reaches the rest of the country, including Mexico City, Guadalajara and the Bajío corridor.
What the building does
This is the domestic half of the corridor. Once your goods are Mexican imports, the work changes completely:
- Receiving and count against the import documentation, so discrepancies are found here and not three weeks later during a stock reconciliation
- Inventory storage inside Mexico, held in your name and visible as your stock
- Pick, pack and dispatch on domestic carriers, priced as domestic shipping
- Amazon Mexico FBM fulfillment, shipped from inside the country with domestic delivery promises rather than cross-border estimates
- Replenishment into Amazon Mexico fulfillment centres, prepared and booked from here
- Mercado Libre order fulfillment, including Full and Flex handling
- Returns intake at a Mexican address, inspection, and the decision to restock, repair or dispose
- Consolidated return of accepted goods to the US when that is the cheaper route
What changes once stock sits here
Holding stock on the Mexican side changes three things that cross-border shipping cannot fix on its own.
Delivery stops being a customs question. A customer order is picked and handed to a domestic carrier, so the delivery promise is measured in days rather than in weeks with a clearance step in the middle.
Customs cost is paid per shipment, not per order. One consolidated import clears once. The alternative, sending every order across the border individually, repeats the fixed cost on every parcel regardless of its value.
Returns become possible. A Mexican customer returning a product to a US address is a customer who usually does not return it and asks for a refund instead. A local address turns that into an ordinary reverse logistics case.
Who ships through this building
- E-commerce brands selling into Mexico who want the delivery promise a local warehouse allows
- Amazon Mexico sellers running FBM, or running FBA and replenishing from local stock
- Mercado Libre sellers who need stock inside the country to qualify for the faster shipping tiers
- B2B shippers distributing to Mexican retailers, distributors or installers
- Sellers testing the Mexican market who want a local stock point before scaling up
How it connects to Laredo
The two buildings are one operation, not two vendors. Goods are received, consolidated and prepared at Laredo, cross at Laredo to Nuevo Laredo, and arrive here as cleared Mexican inventory. Clearance is coordinated with a licensed Mexican customs broker, and we handle the follow-up.
Because both ends are ours, a discrepancy found at receiving here can be traced back to a specific inbound at Laredo. That is the practical difference between one chain and a handoff between two providers.
FAQ
It depends on the destination state and the carrier tier chosen. Because the shipment is domestic at that point, it follows normal Mexican domestic transit times rather than a cross-border schedule.
