Different search engines are a great way to find information online. But sometimes even experienced users need help finding the exact answer they want to a question. Savefinder enables you to get that help from Personal Shoppers with expertise in online searching and shopping. A Personal Shopper will search for the information you want. When they find the answer to your question then you will be notified via a private email.

Your question will also be publicly viewable on the Savefinder website so that other users can benefit from the research. Your identity and personal information will not be revealed to the community of users at any time; instead you will be identified only by a Savefinder 'Nickname'.

While our Personal Shoppers will do their best to help with every request, some questions simply don't have clear answers (e.g., "Should I have married my high school sweetheart?"). It's also possible that the answer to your question is simply not available.
 
Personal Shoppers provide advice on products and services, fulfilling shopping requirements faster. Many retail stores have personal shoppers who are restricted by their own products, but at Savefinder.com every product on the web can be considered.

You can ask any question that can be answered with words or numbers. Most askers are looking for a specific piece of information such as "How much tea was sold in China last year?" or "Why is the sky blue?". Our Personal Shoppers are not necessarily experts in the field related to your question, but they are experts in locating hard-to-find information on the web. If the answer to your question is online, the chances that our Personal Shoppers will find it are very good. You should bear in mind that Savefinder is not a substitute for professional advice or services, nor will we knowingly provide answers to assist in illegal activities. We reserve the right to delete questions on a case-by-case basis if they do not comply with our editorial policy and guidelines for "Proper Use," as specified in our Terms of Service.

Savefinder discourages and may remove any question that:
  • Requests private information about individuals
  • Is intended to provide assistance in conducting illegal activities
  • Is meant to sell or advertise products
  • Refers or relates to adult content
  • Is a homework or exam question
  • Seeks specific information about Savefinder
 
We will provide background information and links to other sources for questions of a professional nature, but Savefinder is not a substitute for professional advice and counsel. If you have a question of this nature, we strongly recommend you consult a professional.
 
It is not always possible for Savefinder to tell when a question posted to the site is a "homework" question; however, in general, we recommend that you use Savefinder as a tool to assist you with your homework rather than as a substitute for you doing your homework yourself. Please note that we reserve the right to remove questions from the site for any reason, and questions that are clearly homework may be subject to deletion.
 
Your question will be answered by a Personal Shopper. Savefinder Personal Shoppers are experts at locating hard-to-find information on the web, and will also consult offline resources when necessary. Personal Shoppers must go through an application process that tests their research skills and the quality of their answers, and Savefinder also spot-checks their answers once they've been approved. If a Savefinder editor sees a problem with an answer, that answer will be withdrawn and your question will be put back into the system. You are strongly encouraged to provide feedback on the quality of the response you receive.
 
All of Savefinder's Personal Shoppers are tested to ensure that they are expert searchers with excellent communication skills. Some of them also have expertise in various fields. Your question may be answered by an expert in a particular field or by an expert searcher.
 
Savefinder has a stringent process for screening Personal Shoppers before they're allowed to answer questions. Each applicant must write an essay explaining why he or she wants to take part in the program and successfully answer a number of test questions.
 
Please use Contact Us page and one of Savefinder's Editors will guide you through the application process.
 
You will be sent an email when a Personal Shopper has answered your question.
 
Some questions simply don't have clear, straightforward answers that can be provided through an online search or by consulting another reference source (e.g. "Which is prettier - blue or green?"). In such cases, Personal Shoppers will attempt to provide links to useful background information on the question.
 
You can view this policy at: http://www.savefinder.com/personal-shopper-site-privacy.php
 
Yes. Your question and the corresponding answer will be posted on the web and viewable by the public.

Users who spam Savefinder will have their posting privileges revoked. If you see evidence of spamming, please report it to us by sending an email to us.
