Question 1

Where's the cheapest place to buy a product — locally or from abroad?

Accepted Answer

We show the sourced US price of record in your own currency so you know the going rate, hand you one-tap searches on the big stores, and flag what customs (VAT/duty over your country's tax-free threshold) would add on an order from abroad. For products we hold a local price on, we also say outright whether it's cheaper to buy at home or import — across the 84 product-and-country pairs we've priced, only 3 are genuinely worth importing right now.

Question 2

How does the price checker work?

Accepted Answer

Type a product name or paste a store link. We match it to its usual US price of record, convert that to your money, hand you one-tap searches on Amazon, AliExpress, eBay and Google Shopping, and show what customs would add from abroad. Prefer the full ship-it-yourself landed math? It's one click open.

Question 3

Which countries does it cover?

United States, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Vietnam. More on the way.

Question 4

Does it work for products you don't already track?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste a store link and we look up a live US price; if we can't read it, you type the US and local prices yourself — so it works for any product from any store, even ones that block automated reads.
