- Rated 4 out of 5by Falling Rock, 7 days agoWas trying to place an order to a perfumer website. It offered the item for $70.++ (am uncertain of the cents, while the $70 part is correct; this was a coupon discount that the product vendor was offering a half hour ago.) When I tried to place the order, the CNET app put up an overlay on the vendor's webpage, and eventually produced a result of ~ $87.19 (again, cents uncertain) based on a vendor's retail price of ~$109.00. I tried to return to the vendor's page that had the $70.++ and after CNET repeated its overlay, it then produced a resulting discounted $76.29 (approx). So, I am about equally displeased with an apparent bait and switch from the vendor and with CNET's apparent adding about ~$11 to the lowest price. However, it's better than the others, so. I will lie and let live.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13275194, a year agoThis was a useful and desirable extension when it simply helped find the best prices for items purchased online. But they added a feature that pops up on almost every website offering cash back. I don't want or need cashback on all of those websites. But there is no way to disable the annoying cashback popup that now emerges constantly. I therefore found myself forced to remove this extension completely. Suggestion to developers: allow users to toggle the cashback popups on or off.

posted a year agoI am sorry that your Snapfish experience was unsatisfactory. CNET Shopping provides savings on your purchases, but any issues you have with a merchant, you should take up with that merchant. - Rated 4 out of 5by Surory, a year ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by W2MiW, 2 years agoA WASTE OF TIME! If I could give it a ZERO Stars...CNET Shopping constantly gives the wrong comparison prices. Either it's the wrong product ALL Together, the comparison price they used is the shipping only, the product price is higher or the total with shipping is higher! REMOVED!!!!!

posted 2 years agoSorry that you have not had a good experience. We are always looking to improve our product, but rest assured that we take your concerns seriously. We attempt to give our users the widest sourcing of alternative merchants, and in some cases we do not have shipping information available so we say "plus shipping" in the drop-down. I understand this may not be ideal, but we believe users would rather be made aware of cheaper prices even if there are potential shipping charges. There is not a perfect solution to the issue, but be aware that we are trying our best to provide users with as much information as we have available.
