Amazon says some of its customers in Cornwall will experience delays to deliveries as it has closed a warehouse due to flooding.

The online retailer confirmed it has closed its 43,000 sq ft (4,000 sq m) delivery station in Redruth, Cornwall, for "urgent maintenance" following recent severe weather.

It said work was being done "as quickly as possible to make the site safe" and deliveries were being made from other sites in the South West.

A spokesperson said due to the closure "some customers are experiencing delays" and as a result the company "apologise for the inconvenience".

Storms Goretti, Ingrid and Chandra have battered the region since the start of 2026, causing widespread damage and flooding.
