Why you can trust the numbers
No teaser rates, no invented prices
A comparison is only as good as its inputs. Here's what stands behind every total we show.
The full price, itemized
Every bundle, per-item fee, delivery add-on, and promo shows as its own line — so you compare real totals, not teaser rates.
Sourced and dated
All 20 providers are backed by cited pricing pages, the date each was checked, and notes on anything that conflicts.
Honest about unknowns
When a price is an estimate, partial, or quote-only, we label it that way instead of inventing a number.
Split-order savings
If splitting your items between two services costs less, we flag it — but only when the savings beat the extra shipping.
