How The Sendicate compares deals
What retailer markdowns, cross-shop comparisons, model families, scores and observation dates mean — plus the limits of our data and how to report an error.
Research-based buying guidance · reviewed 2026-09-08 · The Sendicate editorial approach
A useful comparison needs a clear product identity, currency and date. This page explains how to read our catalogue without mistaking an automated listing for a guarantee of fit, stock or the lowest possible price.
Where the information comes from
The catalogue is assembled from tracked retailer listings using automated imports. Coverage is a selection of shops, not the entire market. The displayed capture date identifies the available observation; it is not a live checkout reservation. Retailer pages remain the source to confirm variants, availability and payable totals.
Three kinds of price evidence
- Retailer-reported markdown: the difference between a retailer's listed reference price and sale price. This alone is not independent evidence of value.
- Cross-retailer evidence: a comparison from tracked offers where available. Read the scope, matching details and currency; untracked shops may differ.
- Recorded observations: any historical comparison must be read with its stated dates and coverage. A current markdown is not a substitute for a history record, and a lowest-observed value is not an all-time market low.
Exact product or model family?
A family groups related models or variants for discovery. It can contain different sizes, casings, compounds or configurations. A family-level starting price does not mean every variant costs that amount. Treat offers as interchangeable only after critical specifications and the manufacturer identifier, where available, agree. Unconfirmed compatibility stays unconfirmed.
Currency, delivery and stock
Compare prices in the same payable currency. Item prices do not establish delivered cost unless shipping and other charges are explicitly included. Retailer region or currency is not a promise that it ships to your address. An unknown shipping charge is not free delivery. Check the retailer's selected variant before paying.
What the score means
The Send It score is an automated browsing priority, combining the available discount evidence with gravity-riding relevance and category signals. It is not a laboratory rating, a review score or a safety certification. A high score cannot override an incompatible specification, poor fit or an unsuitable delivered price.
Editorial and commercial boundaries
Some outgoing links may earn a commission. Manufacturer sources in our buying guides support specifications; they do not imply that the manufacturers endorse The Sendicate. Research-based advice is labelled as such, and we do not invent ride tests, reviews, historical prices or guaranteed savings.
Report a correction
Use the contact address on our Privacy and contact page. Include the Sendicate page link, retailer link, the field that looks wrong and, if available, the manufacturer's part number or specification page. A dated screenshot can help explain a price or variant discrepancy. Please remove personal details.
For an order, refund or warranty issue, contact the selling retailer. For a safety-critical compatibility question, consult the manufacturer or a qualified mechanic rather than relying on a catalogue match.
