There are so many pastimes and ventures that we go through our day-to-day lives feeling slightly ashamed by. The purchasing of intimate items, the enquiry of withdrawing less than £10 from the cashier, and, the most common, the scouring of the sales racks.
Yes, we are aware that these sections of the store are no different to the regular-priced sections, but be honest, have you ever had the feeling when you are looking at the items with the blatantly-bold ‘Sale’ stickers on, that the chaps having a gander through the latest ranges are having a little giggle? The feeling is seldom enjoyed, but for wise spending and bargaining, that ‘head-down’ shopping experience is completely unavoidable. That is, unless, you have encountered the guys over at WhatAFind.com
The staff over there have kindly, and unashamedly bravely, scoured, enquired and worked tirelessly to search out the best prices on the market for a whole range of different worlds for consumer sale-searching. From furniture to fashion, baby cots to coffee tables, the site offers extortionateate discounts that even Harrod’s owner Mohammed Al Fahed’s family would be delighted with.
“www.whatafind.com’ is the savvy shopper’s best kept secret, offering consumers high quality, seasonal over stock, end of line, customer returns and seasonal clearance from a growing range of well known partners. From home accessories and furniture, to baby and nursery equipment, fashion and electronics, Whatafind.com makes it easy for shoppers to pick up absolute bargains in one spot from well known and niche brands saving the consumer considerable time, effort and energy whilst offering unrivalled value and discounts of up to 80% off,” said a spokesperson from the website.
The process is simple; WhatAFind showcase end-of-line products, clearance items and returns from some of the biggest and best-known brands around. As the most useful and needed middle-men in consumer marketing, the site signals to the brand that one of their products has been sold, and organises said item to your doorstep. This site is not a dumping ground for unwanted items, but more a cave of discounted gems.
Although sites that claim to offer ‘special discounts’ on products aren’t rare, WhatAFind are one of the only companies that we know of that offer such a range of items, and don’t rely on hand-outs from big names to keep them afloat. Such is the sites catalogue of recognised brands and products that used to wear a price tag that would frighten, this is the closest you will ever find to an online personal discount shopper.
To be honest, over at Sartorial Male offices we are completely inundated with press releases, requests and claims of brilliance that would ensure their own company’s mention on the website. Most of these are extremely tedious making promises that can’t be kept. So once we received the email from What A Find, we decided to take a little venture ourselves, on an exploration to see if the claims the site were making were true.
As you guys are quite aware, the prices that companies claim a sale price is reduced by is sometimes a twist of the truth, and although we had no reason to question the legitimacy of the websites own claims, we took our quest to the city centre. Armed with a note pad and the balls to visit stores to ask for prices with no intention of making even a murmur towards the purchasing of a product, we approached the department stores.
The site has six designated sections; Electrical, Fashion, Living Room, Bed & Bath and Baby and Child, so we decided to take a specific product from each section and put the use of this discount tool to the test. Even taking into account the obviously vaster choice that the internet provides a customer, the difference in price margins from the likes of ‘House of Fraser’ and ‘PC World’ were absolutely staggering.
The conclusion to this article can be summed up in the following words
