TheFind User Success Stories

We hear about a lot of shopping success stories here at TheFind. What do we consider a success story you ask? Anything that people have searched for elsewhere and couldn’t find until they search on TheFind.com. Read on to learn more. If you have any success stories or if you’ve heard of any, please let us know!

My son is an avid soccer player and was in the market for a specific pair of Nike soccer cleats made with genuine kangaroo leather. We visited the local store and found nothing siutable. 

So I showed [him] TheFind.com. Within minutes he learned how to query with adjectives, filter by brand, and narrow down by price.  In the end he found a great pair of soccer cleats by Nike from a little known shop in LA (his was the only size available in that design). In addition we also managed to get him compression shorts, shin guards and underarmour too.

His next quest is to get an MP3 player and recorder!

All of the women in my family like to use a facial abrasive called Brasivol, that contains a fine sand mixture, that used to be found at Long’s drugstores, but Long’s has discontinued it and it has been very hard to find any other store locally that carries it.  Just to see if TheFind could help us out, we did a search… and found a whole page of it!  My mother ordered several containers and gave one to each of us.  Now we all know where to find it when we run out.

I went to the eye doctor last weekend for an annual checkup.  As I sat in the waiting room, I watched other people picking out glasses and listened to the prices (“these frames are $250”, “these are $325”).  I love nice glasses but want a deal when it comes to the designer frames.  When I finished with my doctor I asked for my written prescription so I could shop around for glasses elsewhere.

I looked online and found a site that carried a lot of different styles.  I found a Prada frame that I loved
for $152 which was about 30% less than at the doctor’s office.  I looked at a couple of popular online eyeglass stores and found all of the prices were similar for this particular frame.

Well, then I came to TheFind and typed in the model number (Prada PR 07E).  Up came four products, and one of them was for $108!  I ordered my glasses and with lens/shipping, the whole thing came to less than $200 … the cost some people pay for just the frame!

I should have the glasses in another week or so, fingers are crossed that I like them in person!

I was talking to an editor of a magazine last week and she said she was working on a story about engagement rings, but couldn’t find heart shaped engagement rings anywhere. I typed “heart shaped engagement ring” into TheFind search box and found 429 results. She was shocked! She wasted hours searching for heart shaped engagement rings and found nothing and by searching TheFind, she discovered amazing results. She was so excited she couldn’t wait to go home and play on the site to discover more things.

The last success story was my own, but all the others were sent in. It’s very exciting to hear about people’s successes and we’d love to hear your’s. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to the site or if you’ve been using it since we launched. I’m convinced that everyone has a success story to share. If you’d prefer to email instead of comment, you can send your story to talk@thefind.com

Happy Searching/Shopping,
Payton
