What Our Users Say...
Some feedback from our users.
"Some years ago I had an insurance claim to replace my camera and it only covered a certain portion of the cost so I was looking around for the best price. I used PriceMe and managed to find a parallel import version of exactly the same camera at half the price. It was buying it from a shop in Auckland that I had never realised I could buy from online. Since that day I have used PriceMe for many purchases and I love it :) Being able to log in under an account now (I have one for work and one for home) and store lists and comparisons is simply O for Awesome. Thanks!!!"

"Hi PriceMe You have been my go to for a few years now. When ever I have wanted to purchase something & dont want to have to drive around looking for the best deal- your who I come to. Friends will ask me do you know how much "this is" and I turn to priceme. I have probably saved at least $1000 on products Iv purchased myself & helped lead friends to cheaper options for products they have been looking for. Thanks PriceMe."

"Love PriceMe, you have saved me a lot via a simple site for price comparison. Price drop alert is a really good add-on, tells me instant discount without checking it regularly."
- Edwin
"A great site, which I consult before purchase of any item to compare and find out the cheapest price and its supplier. The information has never failed me. Very happy & thankful for such a free service for the public."
- Ganesh
"My Wife and I, who are Seniors, have saved literally, hundreds of dollars using your site. It has enabled us to purchase more upgraded items than we would have been able to afford, had we had to rely on the one or two technology retailers within walking distance of our creaky old frames"
- Rick
"I have saved so much money on multiple purchases, I can't even think which one was the best one. I never shop online without checking PriceMe first. And thanks to PriceMe I have actually been able to buy things I never thought I could afford like our refurbished I phones which have been great value."
