Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dealzon?

Dealzon.com is a new type of shopping web site focused on bringing you the best prices on what you want to buy. We do this by working with stores to publish their best deals and coupons.

What is a Deal?

Deals are significant discounts. How do you know if you're getting a good deal? By checking with Dealzon. We don't stop at good deals, we only publish the best deals.

What is a Coupon?

You're most likely familiar with coupons that you clip out of a newspaper or receive in the mail. However, online you can't hand anyone a paper coupon. Instead coupons on the Internet are typically codes that you enter during the checkout process when you purchase something online. Sometimes coupon codes look obvious such as "SAVE50", other times they can be a random collection of letters and symbols such as "QEOXLD?DOAF#". They're often used by stores to provide a discount, sometimes a specific amount, sometimes a percent off, and sometimes they offer upgrades or free shipping.

The price on Dealzon is different than the store. What happened?

The deal expired. It's not uncommon for some deals to last only a few hours. When we know a deal has expired you will see a clear message indicating so. If you don't see our expired message and notice a difference in price between what we have and what the store has, please email us.

Why is Dealzon Better?

We work hard on a daily basis to ensure that we're building the best shopping site on the Internet. We're still young and we have a long way to go, but here's why we think Dealzon is better than the competition.

  1. We're not a retailer or store. That means you get the best deal no matter who has it.
  2. We work closely with retailers and scour the Internet to ensure Dealzon's deals are the best out there.
  3. We actively support and promote our growing community of shoppers who love finding great deals on great products.
  4. Not sure what to buy? Our Ask a question in our forum and we'll help you.
  5. We advocate and promote responsible spending.
  6. Dealzon's mission is to build the best shopping site on the Internet. You can help make that happen.
  7. Dealzon's friends are the best any robot (or human) could hope for. We couldn't do it without you.
