Every product page shows a status for each store, plus how long ago we looked. Here's what each one means, so you know how far to trust it.
In stock
The store says you can order it online right now. The price next to it is the one the store showed at that moment.
Sold out
The store says it can't be ordered right now. Leave your email on the product page and we'll tell you the moment that changes.
Couldn't verify
We didn't get a clear answer from the store just now, or our last look is too old to show as fact. It does not mean sold out. The store's own page will know.
How old can a status be?
Popular products are checked every minute, products people are watching every ten minutes, and everything else within the hour. The time next to each status is when we last looked. If it says "checked 40 min ago", the shelf may have changed since.
When something comes back in stock, we look again within a minute, so a false alarm or a restock that sells out instantly is corrected fast.
Patterns
Once we've seen a product restock at least eight times, its page shows when it usually comes back: the most common days and hours, in your own time zone. Below eight, the page says there isn't enough data yet. Three restocks are a coincidence, not a schedule.
Before you go
A status is a snapshot. Store systems can lag the shelf, especially right after a delivery. Before you drive anywhere, check the store's page or place a pickup order, which holds the item for you.
