Contest/Sweepstakes Information
[FAMILY HANDYMAN ONLY] Important information regarding sweepstakes scams:
We have heard from many customers over the years about receiving phone calls or mailings claiming they have won a massive sweepstakes with us. However, most of these communications end up being scams! To help you tell the difference, we’ve compiled information that can be used to help you determine if what you received is legitimate, or one such scam:
We will NEVER request that you wire or pay any amount of money to claim a prize! Our sweepstakes and contests are always free to enter, and there is NEVER any fee associated with winning.
We will NEVER send you a check to cover fees, taxes, or costs. Scammers may send you a check, ask you to cash it and send them part of the money back to cover fees for winning a prize. This is a sure sign of a scam! You should NEVER have to SEND IN MONEY to win money! We will never ask you to send us a money transfer card or a money order before sending your prize out.
We will NEVER come to your home to award any prizes! If someone calls you and says they are coming to your home to award you the prize, be wary of a scam.
We will NEVER ask people for personal information over the phone. If you receive a call requesting personal information such as bank account numbers, credit card numbers, or social security numbers, do NOT provide such information. This is definitely a scam!
If you think you are the target or victim of a fraud, report it at once! Visit the National Fraud Information Center at www.fraud.org for more information.
If you have any other questions regarding authentic contests or sweepstakes material from our company, please contact us our Customer Care team at [email protected].

WHAT IS THE SHOPPER PRICING AND SUBSTITUTION POLICY?
All quantities and prices of products displayed that are “Powered by Shoppable” are set by Shoppable’s retail partners. Such quantities and prices when checking out through sites that are Powered by Shoppable, mirror those on the applicable retailer’s website.
Because some retailers may change their product quantities and prices throughout the day, occasionally such changes may affect your product order before the update is sent from the applicable retailer to Shoppable’s platform. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control, but we want to ensure we are transparent with our shoppers, that we always try to get you the best price, and that we can handle these select situations as seamlessly as possible – such that when inter-day retailer fluctuations do occur, proper expectations are communicated and maintained.
The following conditions, which encompass Shoppable’s Pricing and Substitution Policy, intend to address and manage any such fluctuations in pricing or availability with minimal disruption to the overall customer experience.
If you chose to opt-in for Shoppable’s Pricing and Substitution Policy at checkout, you consent to the following conditions:

- If a product is no longer available at the original retailer and the same product is found at a different retailer at a price above 4% of the original checkout price (including shipping), a member of the Shoppable Shopper Support Team will contact you to either approve the higher price or cancel the product purchase at no charge.
