F.A.Q.

No. Brands&Prices is simply an information service. We help you find the best products at the lowest price. It is the retailers we link to that sell the products, not Brands&Prices. Please check the ratings other customers have given the retailer before you make a purchase.
Brands&Prices has a technical solution that matches the available products, retailers and prices, for online retailers.
Most prices are automatically updated at least once a day. For a lot of retailers, prices are updated more often than that. However, Brands&Prices does not guarantee that prices are correct. It is therefore important that you double-check the price on the retailer's website before completing a purchase to ensure that the price you have seen on Brands&Prices is current and correct.
Brands&Prices strives to be able to display all prices available to you. We display prices regardless of whether or not a retailer is a customer of Brands&Prices.
But there are a number of exceptions that are worth knowing. Brands&Prices compares over 1 million products and strives to compare as many products as possible. But there are still many products that we have not yet been able to price compare. These products still appear on Brands&Prices as they may be products you are looking for.

Before booking your next trip to buy products, make sure to get a no foreign exchange fee credit card and look into your VAT/GST refund options. Furthermore, if you are traveling to the USA or Canada, be mindful that retail prices do not include sales taxes and will be added to your bill at checkout.

NO FX FEE CREDIT CARDS

Purchasing a product in a foreign currency typically leads to a currency conversion charge of 2-3% by your bank/credit card provider. As such, make sure to use a no foreign exchange fee credit card (if possible) to avoid this charge.

VAT/GST REFUNDS

VAT (Value-added Tax)/GST (Goods and Services Tax) are particularly high in Europe, ranging between 15-25%. If you are a visitor to the EU, you are likely to be able to claim back the VAT which would be a huge saving! Similar refund options are provided in many other countries around the world. Inquire with the retail store directly on the process. Most will use the services of Global Blue or a similar tax refund company.

USA / CANADA SALES TAXES

Be aware of retail prices in the USA and Canada. In these countries, sales tax is added to the advertised product price (varies by province/state/region e.g., 8.875% in New York City). This in contrast to most other countries where taxes are already included in advertised retail prices.
