Shopwhale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shopwhale.co.uk was launched in 2005 by the French company LeGuide.com as the first of a series of price comparison engines for the UK. The site was renamed "Pricesavvy.co.uk" in August, 2006. Online shopping directories of this type help shoppers find the products they are looking for and purchase them from online shops. Similar services are, for example, Froogle, Kelkoo or Shopping.com.

Some characteristics which differentiate Pricesavvy from other online shopping directories:

• Any shop that offers secure online payment (SSL) can be listed for free on Pricesavvy.

• Shoppers can choose their delivery zone in order to be sure to compare only products that can be delivered to them. Pricesavvy lists primarily UK sites, but also includes English language sites from around the world, offering, for example, gourmet products that might be hard to find on English sites.

• Many shopping directories allow shoppers to search either for products or for shops. Pricesavvy does both. The site offers information about every shop listed (credit card security, contact information, etc.)

[edit] Company Information

Pricesavvy and its sister sites are published by LeGuide.com, the leading independent editor of shopping and price comparison engines and online shopping guides in France. The company began providing sites across European in 2004 and today offers sites in French, German, English, Spanish, Italian and Polish.
