Amazon Is Opening A Huge Warehouse In Melbourne


US online retail giant Amazon has announced plans to open its first major Australian warehouse in suburban Melbourne, which it says will employ hundreds of people.

The company — which is feared by many Australian retailers as a major commercial threat — says it will immediately start recruiting staff for the 24,000 square meter warehouse at Dandenong South, in Melbourne's southeast.

"This is just the start," Amazon's director of operations for Australia, Robert Bruce, said in a statement.

Amazon Marketplace enables third-party retailers to sell their products on the Amazon website.

"This new fulfillment center will stock hundreds of thousands of products which will be available for delivery to customers across Australia when we launch our retail offering," Mr. Bruce said.

Amazon is now twice as large as Walmart, which used to be the world's biggest retailer.

The company has declined an interview request and would not say when it expected the warehouse to open.

It is seen by many Australian retailers as a "Death Star".

LED Lighting becomes popular and more and more people like to change their cars with LED headlight Bulbs. Autolampert has many bulbs with different plug type in different series LED headlight. This year, we have developed a new design of it---Mcfly! Let’s see it. 1. Brand new USA CREE XD14 light source,  which is special for auto lights,  smaller size, higher lumen, less heat dissipation CREE XD14 2. Central thickness is only 0.6mm which is 40% thinner than normal ones, the central spot part is 120% than the circle, reaching farther distance 3.Fan-less with independently designed 8pcs flexible aluminum heat sinks which can adjust 360 degrees, solve the heat dissipation and installation problem. As all the people know that heat dissipation is difficult problem for led auto light, we researched and developed 4 layers high thermal conduction aircraft aluminum to solve this problem, reaching air circulation heat dissipation system. The holes on the wing are helping to expan
