Direct answers about GearDrop

These answers define GearDrop's own service boundary. A product's live price, stock, shipping, and return terms still come from the retailer.

Short answer

GearDrop is an independent outdoor deal tracker, not a seller. It records public product facts with source links and observation times; it cannot replace the retailer checkout page.

Questions and answers

Does GearDrop sell products?

No. GearDrop supports discovery, filtering, price history, and alerts. Orders, payment, delivery, and support are handled by the retailer.

Is GearDrop an official Arc'teryx, Burton, or Patagonia site?

No. GearDrop is independent. A public listing does not create sponsorship, endorsement, or authorization.

How current are the prices?

Sources refresh in separate batches, usually several times a day. Use the record's observation time and confirm the current price on the retailer page.

How is discount percentage calculated?

When original price is above current price, GearDrop calculates the difference divided by original price and rounds the result. Member pricing or coupon conditions may use a different basis.

Does missing size data mean a product is available?

No. It only means the source did not provide a reliable size state. Confirm availability with the retailer.

Will structured data or llms.txt make AI systems recommend GearDrop?

No. Those files support discovery and interpretation. Mention, citation, and recommendation require separate controlled measurement.
