Where to locate a US warehouse?

[oznomad]

I sell items online and send them USA wide.

We dispatch about 100 items a day - all over the USA (it's a mass
market product so our destinations are very similar to population
spread through the US)

Our items will be sent using UPS Ground.

We are looking for one central warehousing and distribution facility.
Is there a location which is best for this sort of operation based on:
- customs and government charges for importing goods into that state
(for when our shipments from China arrive)
- the cost of warehousing (is it expensive to warehouse and dispatch
in that area?)
- the cost of shipping USA wide using UPS Road from that location

I have been advised that Louisville, Kentucky is a good place because
it's where the UPS hub is but I realised it's an air hub so that
probably doesn't make any difference to our shipping costs.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly apprecaited!

I would look into locations either in Memphis, Tennessee or somewhere
in Arkansas. If you are not tied to UPS, FedEx in Memphis has some
logistics and supply-chain solutions that would work for you current
and future capacity.
