Match the exact item before comparing prices
Match the exact item details like brand, model, size, color, and shipping fees before comparing prices. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission says this avoids confusion and ensures fair comparisons. Check these details first to get accurate prices across sellers.
Calculate the total checkout cost
To find your total checkout cost, add shipping, taxes, and fees to the product price. The FTC says this helps avoid hidden costs. Check the seller’s terms for price matching before buying.
Read delivery and return terms
Check delivery promises and the seller’s return policy before buying. The FTC warns about return shipping costs, deadlines, and restocking fees. Keep records like what you ordered, payment, and shipping promises to avoid disputes later.
Treat sale and reference prices as claims to verify
Treat sale and reference prices as claims, not proof of savings. The official page doesn’t show current price, stock, delivery, or refunds. Check seller terms before buying to avoid false claims about cheaper or better deals.
