Frequently Asked Questions
About DealMav
What is DealMav?
DealMav is a product review and deal discovery website. We provide honest, in-depth reviews of electronics, gadgets, and consumer products, plus daily updates on the best deals available online.
How does DealMav make money?
We participate in affiliate programs with retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and others. When you purchase products through our links, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and content free. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
Does your affiliate relationship affect your reviews?
No. Our reviews are completely honest and independent. We recommend products based on merit, not commission rates. We’ll often recommend products with lower commissions if they’re better for you.
Product Reviews
How do you test products?
Whenever possible, we conduct hands-on testing over 1-3 weeks, evaluating real-world performance, build quality, and value. When physical testing isn’t possible, we conduct thorough research using verified customer reviews and expert sources. See our Review Process page for full details.
Can I trust your reviews?
Yes. We pride ourselves on honesty. We highlight both strengths and weaknesses of every product. If something isn’t good, we’ll tell you, even if it’s popular.
Do you accept money for positive reviews?
Absolutely not. We never accept payment for positive reviews. Our opinions cannot be bought.
How do you rate products?
Products receive scores out of 10 based on weighted categories like performance, build quality, features, value, and user experience. Scores of 8.0+ indicate excellent products we highly recommend.
Do you test every product you review?
We test products whenever possible, but some reviews are based on research due to budget or availability constraints. We clearly disclose when a review is research-based rather than hands-on tested.
Can you review my product?
Brands and manufacturers can submit products for review consideration at dcllc6@gmail.com. Note that submission doesn’t guarantee coverage or a positive review.
Deals and Prices
How do you find deals?
Our team monitors prices across hundreds of retailers daily using price tracking tools and algorithms. We also verify deals manually before posting to ensure they’re genuine.
Why don’t prices match when I click your links?
Prices change frequently and may vary by region. The price you see on the retailer’s site is always the accurate current price. We update prices regularly, but can’t catch every change instantly.
Are your deals legitimate?
Yes! We verify all deals before posting by checking price history. We only feature deals that represent genuine savings, not inflated “discounts.”
How often are deals updated?
We update deals multiple times daily. Major sale events (Black Friday, Prime Day) receive hour-by-hour updates.
Can I submit a deal?
Absolutely! Email deals you’ve found to dcllc6@gmail.com and we’ll verify and potentially feature them.
Do deals work in my country?
Most deals featured are for US retailers, but we also cover international deals when available. Check the retailer’s shipping policies for international availability.
Purchasing Through Our Links
Does it cost more to buy through your links?
No. Prices are identical whether you use our links or go directly to the retailer. Our affiliate commissions come from retailers, not added to your purchase price.
Do I have to buy through your links?
Not at all. You’re free to shop however you prefer. Using our links helps support our work, but it’s never required.
Can I return products bought through your links?
Returns are handled by the retailer, not DealMav. Follow the retailer’s standard return policy. We’re not involved in transactions, shipping, or returns.
What if I have a problem with my order?
Contact the retailer directly for order issues, as they process and fulfill all purchases. We don’t have access to order information or the ability to resolve order problems.
Newsletter and Alerts
How often do you send newsletters?
We send a daily digest with the best deals. You can also opt into specific alerts for products or categories you’re interested in.
Can I choose what deals to receive?
Yes! When you subscribe, you can select categories (electronics, home, fashion, etc.) and set price thresholds for alerts.
How do I unsubscribe?
Click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email, or email dcllc6@gmail.com
Do you sell my email address?
Never. We do not sell, rent, or trade your email address to anyone. See our Privacy Policy.
Privacy and Security
Is my information safe?
Yes. We use industry-standard security measures including SSL encryption. We collect minimal information and protect what we do collect. See our Privacy Policy for details.
What information do you collect?
We collect only what’s necessary: email addresses for newsletters, analytics data to improve the site, and cookies for affiliate tracking. We don’t collect payment information as we don’t process transactions.
Do you use cookies?
Yes, for analytics, affiliate tracking, and site functionality. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. See our Privacy Policy for cookie details.

Yes! Share links on social media or with friends. We appreciate it!
