About WebshopXL

WebshopXL compares shops on the day a parcel arrives, the total price, and how often that day is met. Erik Waal started it.

85%

must arrive on or before the date shown

0

after that, an offer that was not refreshed drops

The day

The delivery day follows from the cutoff, the stock and the carrier's working days. Sundays and public holidays move it, unless the shop delivers on Sunday.

The cutoff

Order before this time, on the Amsterdam clock. After that the ship day moves, even if your phone still says 16:58.

The total price

Product plus shipping. A low item price with expensive shipping does not win here by itself.

The certainty

How often the shop hits the day shown. Measured, stated or estimated, and that difference is on the screen.

WebshopXL shows which shop can deliver a product, and when. You search for a product, enter the first four digits of a Dutch postcode, and get the day, the order cutoff, the price including shipping, and how often that shop hits the promised day. Evening delivery, same-day and pickup show up when the shop actually offers them.

You place the order at the shop. WebshopXL has no basket and no payment page. We are a comparison, not the seller.

Search for a day

You search for a product, enter four digits of a postcode, and see which shop can hit that day. Evening, same-day and pickup appear when the shop really offers them.

Side by side

You place up to four shops next to each other. The same day, the same cutoff, the same total price, the same on-time rate.

Sign up as a shop

You create an account on the signup page. The welcome email explains the listing. The password is not in that email.

Follow the measurement

A click stores the date you saw. Only a product from an uploaded feed counts toward the gate of 200 shipments.

Why this exists

Comparing price is a solved problem. Comparing the delivery day is not. Two shops can both say tomorrow. One of them hits that almost every time. The other hits it six times out of ten. On a price list those promises look the same. At the front door they do not.

Erik Waal started this. He runs a webshop himself and knows the gap between the cutoff on the product page and the hour the warehouse actually closes. WebshopXL is his answer, for anything that can be delivered: a book, a plant, headphones, a gift. Not a niche site that ignores the rest of the shelf.

What we will and will not do

The order of the list comes from the date and from the on-time rate. A shop that promises tomorrow and hits that 60 percent of the time can finish below a shop that promises the day after and hits that 98 percent of the time. The formula is public on How we measure. We do not sell a place in that list.

A labelled place can sit on the card and it does not move the score. That is a decision we write down first. The roadmap states that the order stays the date plus reliability.

Where we are

The clock is Amsterdam time, on our server. Your phone can show something else. A cutoff of 17:00 is gone at 17:00.

A click on To the shop stores the date you saw. Only products from an uploaded feed count. The gate is 200 of those shipments, at least 85 percent on or before the date shown. Sample products stay visible and do not count. Until that gate is met, this is a measurement with a working screen, not a finished company.

The figures behind that choice, from Statistics Netherlands to the ACM, are on Why delivery time and in the sources.
