What people usually want to know

Most questions fall into three buckets: what PalletMapper actually is, how store pages differ from auction pages, and how to use the site efficiently before making calls or driving anywhere.

FAQ

Is PalletMapper a marketplace?

No. PalletMapper is a discovery and comparison layer. It helps users find stores and browse auction inventory, then routes them to the source marketplace or business for the final action.

Why do some store pages have more detail than others?

Store-page quality depends on how complete the imported record is. Some stores have better hours, website, description, image, and contact coverage than others.

Why do the auction hubs matter more than one lot page?

Lots are short-lived. If you want to compare inventory over time, a platform, retailer, category, or state hub is more useful than one lot page that can disappear quickly.

How should I use PalletMapper before visiting a store?

Use the location or category page first, compare several stores, verify the best-looking store pages, and line up backup options so one weak stop does not waste the trip.

How should I use PalletMapper for auctions?

Start with a stable auction hub, compare the lots in that view, then click out to the source marketplace when you are ready to bid or buy.
