Three flags, six states

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
118 of 253 carry no flag at all. And one dependency holds without exception.

Three fields on this shelf describe how a container may be bought

Full case only, drop ship only, and quote only. Each is a separate condition and none of them is implied by the others in the general case.

Across 253 containers they take six of the eight possible combinations

118 rows carry none of the three. 43 are drop ship and quote only. 41 are full case only alone. 27 are quote only alone. 18 are all three. And 6 are full case and quote only.

The two combinations that do not occur are the same two

Both would require drop ship only without quote only. Which is not an accident of this shelf being a subset.

Every drop ship row in the entire catalog is also quote only

All 61 on this shelf, and all 495 across the 2,150 products in the catalog, with no exceptions. So drop ship only implies quote only in this data and the implication is verified rather than assumed.

The reverse does not hold and that asymmetry is useful

94 rows here are quote only and 33 of those are not drop ship. So quote only is the wider condition and drop ship is a subset of it.

Which means two of the three fields are not independent

And a filter that tests both is testing one of them twice. The useful reading is that drop ship only is a reason a row is quote only rather than a separate state.

A little over half the shelf carries at least one flag

135 of 253. Which leaves 118 containers available on ordinary terms, and that is the figure a buyer planning around this shelf should start from.

The recorded quote reasons say what the quote only flag means here

Unavailable on 92 of the 94, drop ship on one, and no price on one. So 92 of 94 are out of stock rather than unpriceable.

Which is the same pattern the automotive property found next door

There, 88 of 90 quote only rows were recorded as unavailable. Two shelves, two measurements, the same conclusion: quote only is mostly a timing state and not a pricing one.

And every one of these counts is a snapshot of one day

Nineteen October 2026. The availability-driven flags move and the page says which day it was measured rather than implying the figures still hold.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. Across this group’s 253 containers the three buying flags, full case only, drop ship only and quote only, take six of the eight possible combinations: 118 rows carry none of the three; 43 are drop ship and quote only; 41 are full case only alone; 27 are quote only alone; 18 are all three; and 6 are full case and quote only. The two combinations that do not occur are exactly the two that would require drop ship only without quote only. All 61 drop ship rows on this shelf are also quote only, and across all 2,150 products in the catalog all 495 drop ship rows are quote only, with no exceptions. The reverse does not hold: 94 rows here are quote only and 33 of those are not drop ship. 135 of the 253 carry at least one flag. The recorded quote reasons are unavailable on 92, drop ship on one and no price on one.
Written from 19 CFR part 134 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Part 134 governs the country of origin marking of imported articles; it does not determine anything about any container on this shelf, and the catalog does not record a country of origin for any product. Nothing here states whether any article is on the J-List, which turns on tariff classification, or whether any container is a usual container, which turns on commercial practice, and nothing here is customs, import or classification advice. This shelf is the store-small-dry shelf plus three rows and the sewing notions property enumerates the shared part of it.
