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 decision.
- 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 link to Amazon or the UK Shortlists Amazon Storefront after a shortlist or buying guide. We may also remind readers to check Amazon checkout options such as delivery, returns, repeat ordering, or Subscribe & Save where Amazon offers them.
The Amazon product comparison tool may use product, image and featured-price information returned by Amazon when official API comparison is available. Possible matches are labelled only from shared identifiers or Amazon product-family data. Without that data, the tool recognises the Amazon product code, opens the relevant Amazon offer list and independent price history, then asks the reader to confirm the product name before preparing other retailer searches. It does not scrape the Amazon page or estimate a price or review score.
Prices, stock, delivery, seller details and search ordering can change, so each source page and checkout remain the final source. The checker does not present review counts unless a supported structured feed supplies them, and commercial relationships do not determine UK Shortlists rankings.
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.
