1. Official sources first
Specs, prices, materials and sizes come from the brand's official website or its official retail listings. We record the date we checked. Prices change often, so we show that date next to every price.
2. The fine print
We read the shipping, returns and warranty pages in full and write out what matters: how long you have to return, who pays return shipping, any restocking fees, and what the warranty actually covers.
3. Safety and recall records
We search the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recall database and, for food, supplements and personal care, FDA records. If we find a relevant recall, we mention it, even when it is unflattering to a brand we work with.
4. Brand claims kept separate
When a brand says its product "may help" with something, or quotes its own lab results, we label it "according to the brand". We do not present marketing claims as facts we have verified. For health and beauty products we never claim that a product fixes a medical condition.
5. Dated, sourced and corrected
Every page lists when it was last checked and links to its main sources. If you find a mistake, tell us and we will fix it. See our Corrections policy.
How coupon codes are checked
Codes come from official sources, such as a brand's affiliate program or the brand's own site. For each code we note the discount, conditions, source and the date we last checked it. Expired codes move to a separate list so you can see what changed.
How we choose what to cover
We focus on brands that sell directly to US shoppers and that we can research thoroughly. Many are brands we have affiliate partnerships with. That can affect which brands we cover and where they appear on a page. It does not change the facts we report. More on this in our Editorial Policy.
