Warehouse directory: ranking rules
The order of the directory and of quote suggestions follows fixed, public rules that use only the three inputs below.
Version of these rules: 2026-11-11
Two groups: warehouses that publish their Fulfillment Score (including those still building history) come first, warehouses that keep it private come after. Within each group the rank below decides the order (a private score counts as 50).
Each warehouse gets a rank from 0 to 100: 50% comes from how much of what you need it covers, 30% from its Fulfillment Score and 20% from how close it is to the state you chose.
Fulfillment Score: Calculated automatically from the carrier tracking data visible to the platform. It reflects shipping performance only and is not an assessment of the warehouse's creditworthiness, financial condition or legal compliance.
- Fit (0-100): how much of the services and goods you ticked the warehouse can handle. If you tick nothing, every warehouse gets 100. Warehouses that do not accept your goods (for example no lithium batteries) are not shown at all.
- Fulfillment Score (0-100): the warehouse's public Fulfillment Score, calculated by the system with the published rules. New warehouses still building history count as 50 (neither a bonus nor a penalty).
- Distance (0-100): 100 points in the state you chose, 70 in a neighbouring state (same Census division), 40 in the same region of the country, 0 farther away. If you choose no state, every warehouse gets 0. Only the state counts: never the street address or ZIP code.
- Same rank: the better fit comes first, then the warehouse that joined the platform first.
Changes in this version: a public Fulfillment Score is no longer required to be listed; warehouses that keep their score private are listed after the others and show "Not public".
Ranking cannot be bought
- Paid plans, subscriptions, advertising or any payment never affect the order; no plan or payment data is read when ranking.
- The platform takes no commission, no deposit, and never handles money between sellers and warehouses.
- No contact hiding and no anti-bypass rules: both sides see each other's contact details in a quote request.
- A warehouse appears only after it chose to be listed and passed the platform's verification; publishing its Fulfillment Score is optional. It can leave the directory at any time.
