Products: frequently asked questions
What can I compare on Magic Prices?
More or less anything sold online in the UK. Phones, computing, home appliances, audio and television, cameras, fashion, beauty, sport, toys and garden. The list grows regularly.
To find something, type its name or model number into the search bar, or work down from a category on the home page.
We currently compare over 3 million products from more than 1,300 retailers.
How do I find the right product?
Two things worth knowing. The panel on the left narrows the list by price, using either the slider or a preset bracket, and by brand; use both at once if you like, and the list updates as you go. The “Sort by” menu at the top right reorders what is left: price lowest first, price highest first, or name A–Z or Z–A.
Once you have found the right product, open its page to see the specifications, the reviews and, most usefully, the full list of retailers with their prices.
How do I find out more about a product?
Every product has its own page, with the technical specifications, customer ratings and reviews where they are available, and a chart showing how the price has moved over recent months.
The price history shown on our product pages does not include Amazon offers.
Can I suggest a product that is missing?
Please do. If you cannot find something, tell us at support@magicprices.co.uk with the product name and the manufacturer, and we will look into whether we can list it.
How do you list so many products?
Retailers make their product information available to us: the price, stock status and an identifier for the item. The same model is often listed by several retailers under slightly different names, so we group those listings onto a single product page, order them by price, and hold back anything that looks obviously wrong before it is published. The full detail is on our methodology page.
How do I buy a product?
We don’t sell anything. When you have found the offer you want, use “View Offer” and you are taken to the retailer’s own site to complete the purchase there. The price you pay is the retailer’s price, with nothing added by us.
Do you sell products yourselves?
No. Magic Prices is a comparison service, not a shop. We show you where to buy at the best price; the sale, the delivery, the returns and the aftercare are all handled by the retailer you buy from.
What if something on the site is wrong?
It can happen: an out-of-date price, a specification that does not match, one model mistaken for another. Tell us at support@magicprices.co.uk, with a link to the page concerned, and we will correct it.
