How We Rank Prices

1. Primary Ranking: Total Landed Cost

All price results — both domestic and cross-border — are sorted by ascending total landed cost.

• Product prices are shown in both the merchant's local currency and EUR using the latest ECB exchange rate.
• Shipping estimates are flat-rate values from our internal table and are clearly labeled as estimates. They are not real-time carrier quotes.
• Only prices observed within the past 48 hours are shown. Stale prices are excluded from all results.

2. Partner Merchant Placement

PriceHunter has commercial relationships with a small number of Partner merchants. They are identified with the Partner label in the price list.

Within a price tier — defined as results whose total landed cost is within 2% of the cheapest option in that tier — a partner merchant may appear before a non-partner merchant.

If the cheapest offer is EUR 68.00 and a partner offers EUR 68.80, the partner may appear first because the difference still falls inside the 2% threshold.

This limited partner promotion is part of how PriceHunter generates revenue and remains free for consumers.

3. Non-EU Merchants and Import Duties

Merchants outside the EU single market are marked with the badge text Duties may apply.

The displayed total cost for these merchants does not include an import-duty estimate because those charges vary by product type, order value, and destination country. Buyers should verify applicable duties before ordering.

4. Reference Prices (EU Omnibus Directive)

When a merchant's current price is lower than the lowest price they offered in the previous 30 days, we display the reference label Lowest price in 30 days.

This is required by EU Directive 2019/2161 for promotional and sale-price displays.

5. No Geo-Blocking

PriceHunter does not block, redirect, or restrict access to cross-border price information based on your location.

Your country setting is used for shipping estimates, but it does not restrict which merchants or countries you can view.
