Confirmed
A value is supported by a clear manufacturer, merchant, or policy source that can be checked.
Trust policy
Product data policy
Product data can change quickly. This page explains how UK Shortlists handles specifications, prices, merchant listings, unknown values, and source-backed product details.
Product-data confidence levels
Listed
A value appears on a merchant or listing page and may change after publication.
Inferred
A value is derived from available information. Inferred values should be used cautiously and clearly caveated.
Unknown / not stated
The safer choice when a product detail cannot be verified. UK Shortlists should not fill gaps with guesses.
What we check where possible
- Model names and product variants.
- Core specifications that affect buyer fit.
- Size, weight, capacity, compatibility, or subscription dependencies where relevant.
- Warranty, support, privacy, or policy details where they materially affect the route.
- Merchant/listing context when a product is still presented as a viable buying option.
Prices, stock, and merchant listings
UK Shortlists may refer to price bands, budget positioning, or value context, but final price, stock, delivery, warranty, and returns should always be checked directly with the merchant before purchase.
Unless a page explicitly says otherwise, readers should not assume continuous live monitoring of every product listing.
Amazon API and Storefront data
UK Shortlists may route readers to Amazon or the UK Shortlists Amazon Storefront after a buying route is clear. We may also remind readers to check Amazon checkout options such as delivery, returns, repeat ordering, or Subscribe & Save where Amazon offers them.
We do not currently use Amazon API or Storefront data to publish product images, ASINs, live prices, discounts, stock, ratings, review counts, review text, Prime eligibility, delivery speed, seller status, or Subscribe & Save eligibility on public UK Shortlists pages.
If Amazon API content is used in future, it must pass a separate field-level policy review, public disclosure check, source freshness check, and claim-safety validation before it appears on a public page. Amazon economics alone must not change rankings or product selections without editorial review evidence.
How to challenge product data
If a specification, price context, policy statement, or merchant link looks wrong, send the page URL, product name, affected field, and source link through Editorial Contact.
Product-data corrections are handled under the Corrections Policy.
