Order Accuracy
Order Accuracy is the percentage of orders shipped with the correct items and quantities.
Why it matters for ecommerce brands
Each mis-ship costs a reshipment, a return, and customer trust. Top 3PLs commit to 99.5% or higher.
Formula and calculator
Order accuracy = orders shipped without error ÷ total orders shipped × 100
Common questions
- What counts as an inaccurate order?
- Any order shipped with the wrong item, wrong variant such as size or color, wrong quantity, or a missing item. Many brands also count wrong addresses entered by the warehouse, but not customer address errors.
