How to compare products before buying
When two or three products look promising, save them together and compare the same details for each one. A short note about what matters to you makes the choice easier to revisit.
Write down what the item needs to do
Start with the job you need it for. A desk lamp might need to fit on a narrow shelf, point at your work and use a bulb you can replace. Those details give you something specific to compare.
Separate requirements from preferences. “Fits on the shelf” may be essential. A particular colour may be something you can change your mind about.
Keep the options in one list
Save each product as its own item, with a link to the exact version you are considering. Use titles that help you tell the options apart.
In Fancies, you can put products from different shops in the same list. Check any details found from the link, then add the information you still need yourself.
Check the same details for each option
For a lamp, note its height, base size and bulb type. For a bag, you might compare its weight, dimensions and whether your laptop fits. Leave a question in the note when a detail is missing.
Keep facts and impressions separate. “Weighs 800 grams” is a specification. “Looks comfortable to carry” is something you may still want to check.
Check the cost on the shop’s page
A lower item price may come with higher delivery costs. Before deciding, check the current price, delivery, any extra charges and the return conditions for each option.
Saved prices in Fancies do not update automatically. Use the original product links to check them again.
Keep a note of your choice
When you choose one, record the reason before you forget it. “Fits the shelf and takes a standard bulb” will still make sense later.
You can remove the other options or keep them if they remain useful. After buying an item, mark it purchased in Fancies to move it into that list’s private archive.
