How do I know if something is on sale?

Sale items are clearly marked throughout our marketplace so you never have to guess whether you're getting a deal. Here's what to look for when browsing and how to make sure you're always finding the best prices.

How Sales Are Displayed

On Product Listings (Browse and Search Results) When a product is on sale, you'll see visual indicators directly on the listing card as you browse: a strike-through original price with the sale price displayed next to it, a percentage-off badge (e.g., "30% OFF"), a different color for the sale price (typically red or a highlight color) compared to the original price, and "Sale" tags or badges on the product image.

These indicators are visible before you even click on the product, making it easy to spot deals while browsing search results or category pages.

On the Product Page When you click into a product listing, the pricing section shows the original price crossed out, the current sale price prominently displayed, the exact amount or percentage you're saving, and if applicable, a sale end date or countdown timer.

Some products have variants (sizes, colors, bundles) where only certain options are discounted. Make sure to check the price for the specific variant you're selecting, as it may differ from the sale price shown for the default option.

Where to Find Sale Items

Homepage Our homepage regularly features promoted deals, trending discounted products, and sale event banners. This is a great starting point for spotting current promotions.

Sort by Price When browsing a category or search results, sort by "Price: Low to High" to surface the most affordable options. Products with deep discounts often rise to the top when sorted this way.

Maximizing Your Savings

Stack discounts with Perks. Perks members ($4.97/month, first month free) get free shipping and 2% cashback on every purchase. When you buy a sale item with a coupon code, free Perks shipping, and cashback, you're saving on four levels at once.

Apply coupon codes at checkout. If you have a discount code, enter it in the promo code field at checkout. Some codes work on top of sale pricing, giving you an additional discount on an already-reduced item.

Compare total cost. When evaluating a deal, look at the total price including shipping — not just the product price. A product at 20% off with $8 shipping might cost more than a full-price product with free shipping. Perks members don't need to worry about this since shipping is always free.

Check reviews before buying on impulse. A great price on a poorly reviewed product isn't a great deal. Quickly check the star rating and skim a few reviews before purchasing, even during a flash sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if a sale price is a genuine discount? A: Sale items display the original price crossed out alongside the sale price, showing exactly how much you're saving. Our discounts are real reductions from normal pricing. If you've been watching a specific product, you'll recognize the original price and can verify the discount yourself.

Q: Do sale prices apply to all variants (sizes, colors)? A: Not always. Some sales apply to the entire product listing while others discount only specific variants. Check the price for your selected size, color, or option before checkout — the displayed price updates when you select a variant.

Q: Can I use a coupon code on a sale item? A: It depends on the specific coupon. Some codes stack with sale pricing, others exclude already-discounted items. Try entering your code at checkout — if it's accepted, you'll see the additional discount applied. If not, the sale price alone is typically already a strong deal.

Q: If I buy something and it goes on sale the next day, can I get the difference back? A: We generally can't retroactively adjust prices. If you purchased within the last 24-48 hours, contact us and we'll review your situation. To catch sales before they happen, subscribe to our email newsletter for advance notice.

Q: Does Perks cashback apply to sale items? A: Yes. You earn 2% cashback on the amount you actually pay, including discounted sale prices. Sale price + free shipping + cashback = maximum savings.

Q: How long do sales last? A: It varies. Flash sales may last just a few hours to 48 hours. Seasonal sales can run for days or weeks. Seller-specific sales depend on the individual seller's promotion. If a product page shows a countdown timer or end date, that's your deadline.
