Business Check · October 28, 2026
What we checked
Wayfair.com receives a high trust score of 97, supported by its entry in the LEI register (GLEIF) as WAYFAIR, INC., active since 2011, which matches the organisation Wikidata gives for this website, and by its status as a known organisation founded in 2002 and listed on NYSE. The domain was registered over 22 years ago, the site is widely used according to the Tranco list, it uses HTTPS and it is not listed by Google Safe Browsing. Our AI could not confirm a legal notice page or the people behind the company automatically, although as a listed company its leadership is published in its official filings, and complaints exist online, as for most large services, so it is worth reading them before buying. Our team can review this case manually if you wish. This score is an indication built from public signals, not a legal or financial assessment.
