So you want an item off the online seller’s website, but the problem is, the same item is Apple of eye of everyone else. This is the situation when finding certain items becomes super difficult for online shopping enthusiasts. The items are either out of stock or the shopper misses to order when the item is back in stock.
Intelligent shoppers shine in such situations, how? Man is a tool-using animal and thus the saying, “Man is known by the Tools he uses”. Being an intelligent online shopper you need the following tools to grab the items you need before anyone else.
- zooLert is an online service that keeps an eye on inventories of online retailers.
Users only need to register and identify the items or item categories they are looking for. Popular ‘Out of Stock’ items are no longer a far-fetched dream with this amazing online tool.
How to find your desired items and track them on zooLert – stock tracking service
- Sign up at zoolert.com
- Browse through item collections of “Online Product Trackers” listing that contains your desired item
- Set the alert for your item, which can either be email alert of mobile phone alert. What we liked the most is real-time alerting option where you just need to keep the webpage open as soon as the item becomes available, the webpage will sound an alert. You can choose between Bird, Lion and Rooster sounds.
- Select the items you wish to stay updated
Right now Zoolert is available only for US, UK and Canada. It also offers “Local store Product Checkers” where you get to see local availability of items at store near you. Webpage alerts do tend to get annoying showing availability at same stores again and again.
The Zoolert trackers not only shows you time of availability of the item, it also shows its price along with online store name.
