How TrustedParts.com Classifies Authorized Inventory
Connecting buyers and distributors
Not all inventory is created equal. TrustedParts.com defines five distinct inventory types to give buyers a clear, accurate view of available authorized stock while creating a level playing field that rewards distributors committed to authorized sourcing.
To help buyers identify what type of inventory is available, electronic components listed on the site are organized into five types:
- Actual Stock (In Stock)
- Drop-Ship
- On Order
- Value-Add/Can Build
- Factory Stock
