Direct sales from Amazon often do not have shipping fees, as Prime members and orders in excess of $35 do not have to pay for shipping. On the other hand, when Amazon serves as a front for a third-party seller, the shipping costs are often undervalued or not prominently displayed.
This is where PriceJot comes in: all products on PriceJot.com are displayed with the sale price as well as a shipping estimate.
PriceJot.com is revolutionizing the concept of an Amazon price tracker by bringing the information shoppers want most front and center. Price history graphs are displayed with every product. Use these graphs to determine if the product will go on sale again, if the price will drop more, or if this is the perfect time to buy.
Unpredictable pricing of Amazon products make PriceJot even more effective. On PriceJot.com, every product has a “Create Price Tracker” section where users enter a target price and contact method and are automatically notified when the item reaches the target price. Notifications are given within two hours of the price change.
Detailed information on the product is given on each item’s page, including a thorough price history table and graph, product description and features, as well as user reviews. PriceJot actually offers the exact information from Amazon, as well as detailed pricing history, which Amazon does not.
Explore products and read reviews, just like you would on Amazon, it is not even necessary to visit the Amazon page until you are ready to buy. When that time comes, a conveniently placed “Buy from Amazon” button makes getting to Amazon a breeze.
PriceJot also offers a Popular Categories section on its home page that makes virtual window-shopping extremely easy. Clicking a categories like Electronics or Toys reveals a page full of great deals with a rating system that shows how great each price is.
The best news about PriceJot.com is that all these features are free to all. Registration is not required, but it is free, easy, and makes life simple for frequent users. Registrants can sign up by using an email address or social networking accounts such as Facebook, Google+, or Twitter. Signing in to a PriceJot registered user account makes amazon price tracker use easier, as members do not have to input their communication information for each item tracked. Registered users can also cast votes for their favorite deals and receive information about new deals by email. It is the beginnings of what PriceJot hopes will become a full-fledged online shopping community. It is off to a good start as 3,000 users registered during PriceJot.com's first two months.
The goal of a shoppers' community is what PriceJot is all about, it is not just about Amazon; it is about saving online shoppers money wherever they shop. PriceJot had roots in ecommerce well before opening its Amazon price tracking site and has been in business since 2006. The Deals page reflects those ecommerce roots, displaying outstanding buys from other online sources in product areas such as electronics, toys, music, and more. Registered users will soon be able to share similar deals with the registered users' community.
PriceJot constantly works to make its Amazon price watch site easier for all to access and use, whether they become a registered user or not. Extensions to popular Web browsers are under development and will be PriceJot's next major feature. They are another example of PriceJot's commitment to making informed online shopping easy and shock-free.
