How easy is it to compare prices on this site? Are the figures reliable and does it actually help you find a good deal? We did some price busting searches..
One Cart to Rule

Shop.com have a wide range of products which can be displayed by price.  Where there are multiple shops offering the same item they offer a price comparison feature to view the prices and retail outlets in a list.  The retailers are all rated to help your selection and compare shops.

The site also has a coupons and rebates section as well as a price drop alert where you can be notified if the product is ever reduced to a price that you set yourself.

Very important for shopping comparisons - how well organized are the product or service categories? Is it easy to find what you want to compare? Or is this a maze?.
There is a buying guide as well as a ‘Hot Topics’ section but this was badly maintained, with a two year old ‘Fashion Trends for Spring 2008’ article still listed in
the featured articles. We think the heat may well have gone out of that one by now.

What types of products can I buy and sell on this site? Or what can't I buy and sell on this site? We know the deal..

Shop.com has more than 2,000 stores across a wide range of categories.  Each category is well stocked with a broad variety of styles, colors and models.

One nice feature of the site is the option to use their ‘OneCart’ feature where you can shop from different outlets on the site and pay for them together at one checkout as opposed to being sent off to individual online store checkouts each time you wish to buy.  However, although this sounds great, in reality all the most popular stores don’t participate in this facility and it appears to be mainly for small traders.

How large is the brand range on this site? Are we limited to a narrow selection of big name brands or does this site offer real consumer choice?.
Loads of top name brands are crammed on this site for you to make price comparisons across different retail outlets. There are big name shops and brands in every category.

Does the site offer a comprehensive product search tool? If so, how accurate is its findings?.
The search tool was quick and effective.  We typed in the name of a band and it went straight to their CDs without any

confusion.  This site has a music savvy search tool.

Quality of the information. Here we look at the quality of the product comparisons, design and images on the website. Does the content give you a good idea of how the product looks and feels?.

Items have a tab which can be clicked on to reveal detailed features and specifications.  There is a clear photo of each product plus product ratings and reviews (for some not all) as well as retailer ratings.

Many people like this site and find it a useful shopping tool, as this testimonial confirms; "I would just like to thank you for the Shop.com experience! It was really great to have comparable prices right here and saved me the trouble of shopping all over the internet myself!
