Pressbox (Press Release) -
16th May, 2001 - 123PriceCheck.com have today officially launched the UK’s most comprehensive Internet book price comparison tool, which anyone can use for free to save money when buying books online. 123PriceCheck.com do not sell anything themselves, they simply provide the UK consumer with a free, quick, easy to use service that helps them shop more effectively by finding the cheapest online shop selling their book.
Many shoppers return to the same online retailer every time they buy a book, regardless of whether that shop is currently offering the best deal available. It is very time consuming to trawl all the UK online shops comparing their prices by hand, especially as their postage charges can often be hidden away making it difficult to immediately see what the total cost is.
123PriceCheck.com have greatly simplified this process by offering a completely free tool to carry out the comparison for the shopper. This allows people to compare book prices, including postage charges, at the top UK online bookshops in seconds, usually saving a substantial amount of money.
“Once shoppers try this service they’ll never buy books on the Internet again without consulting it!” said Stephen Banks, founder of 123PriceCheck.com, adding “Most people know that online shops like Amazon or Streets Online are far cheaper than traditional shops, but until they try this tool they will simply not believe how much their prices can vary from shop to shop. Often they could be saving many pounds by just taking a moment to use this free tool.”
Example savings that can typically be made are:
a) Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (ISBN: 0099422042)
Prices (with delivery) range from £4.68 to £9.94, a £5.26 difference.
b) "The Times" Comprehensive Atlas of the World 2000 (ISBN: 0723007926)
Prices (with delivery) range from £88.75 to £127.95, a £39.20 difference.
c) Nigella Bites (ISBN: 0701172878)
Prices (with delivery) range from £12.75 to £22.75, a £10.00 difference.
While there are several other UK price comparison sites that will compare a wider range of products at a small number of retailers, 123PriceCheck.com concentrates on providing the best book price comparison tool available, both in terms of the range of bookshops compared and the ease of use. Currently, 18 online bookshops are searched, which is believed to currently be more than any other comparison-shopping web site.
Additionally, 123PriceCheck.com enables users to compare prices on CDs, DVDs and videos. Shoppers can also browse through over 60 comprehensive categories within 123PriceCheck.com’s book, music and DVD/Video sections, giving around 1,500 popular titles for shoppers to choose from.
123PriceCheck.com will soon enhance the CD, DVD and Video comparison engines to make these as comprehensive as the book comparison. Other product comparisons are then planned for the future.
