PriceZombie strives to bring the most current and accurate information to our visitors. Here's a list of commonly asked questions and our answers. There are also other help topics in the sidebar to the left. If you are too lazy to read, I've made a youtube video that covers the usage of PriceZombie, how it works, how to use it's features to find deals, and a ton of other information. If you still have questions, please contact us.

 

 

Is this a good price?

You wouldn't be here if you weren't already a smart shopper. You read ratings and reviews before deciding which product you want to purchase, and then you look for the best price.

Price comparison sites tell you what a few affiliated retailers are currently charging. Amazon price trackers show Amazon's price history over months or years.

PriceZombie lets you comparison shop AND price track in multiple stores.

PriceZombie combines it all by featuring multiple retailers - not just one or two who pay us an affiliate fee when you make a purchase. Retailers provide us with product pictures and descriptions, ratings and reviews, and our custom code lets us track price histories across dozens of national retailers so you know at a glance when and where to find the best deal on the items you want.

What is a watchlist?

The Watchlist is a price point notification system. Say you want to buy a new widget, but think current prices are all too high. Put the widget on your Watchlist along with the maximum price you want to pay, and when that widget drops below your price point PriceZombie will send you an email notice.

Price drops

You probably know some products rarely go on sale, some products are offered at significant seasonal discounts, and others can be had at bargain prices every 4, 8, or 12 weeks. But did you know some retailers display different prices depending on the time of day, your location, even your past shopping habits?

PriceZombie constantly gathers data from retailers to bring you current prices, and we also show price histories for all of our retailers so you know at a glance if the best price is the price that is currently offered, or if it makes good shopping sense to wait for a better deal.

Here is an examples taken right from our pages.

 

 

Do you see a pattern here? The price of this product fluctuates by 30% on a regular basis. If you don't need the product immediately, why wouldn't you add it to your PriceZombie watchlist and buy it later when the price drops?

When comparing the same item between two or more retailers, called comparison shopping, you should not only look at price, but also consider factors such as the cost of shipping and/or availability of local pickup, warranties and guarantees, and the reputation of the retailer when it comes to service and returns.
