How we check
Drop Radar checks the seller, not the stock. Here's exactly what that means, what the four tiers below stand for, and what "checked" does and doesn't tell you.
The manufacturer's or brand's own named UK distributor. Bigjigs Toys holds this tier for NeeDoh — it's the reference price we compare other sellers against — but it isn't itself one of the stores tracked in the drop wall above.
A seller the brand or distributor has named as an authorised stockist, with evidence we can point to and a date we checked it. No store this site tracks currently holds this tier.
An independent retailer we've actually looked at: a real UK business, a working returns/contact route, and a listing that matches what it claims to sell — with the date we checked and what we looked at. Currently: FunkyFidgets, Jukupop, My Small World, The Kid Collective.
Every other store this site tracks. We show its price and stock as context only — never an alert, never a buy button — just a plain link to its own listing so you can look for yourself. If you run one of these stores and want to dispute how you're described here, email us. Currently: NeeDoh Store, Titan Cards, Eterna Cards, Pixel-Hub.
What "checked" means
A checked tier means we've confirmed a seller is a real, contactable UK business and that a specific listing matches what it claims to be — on the date stated. It is not an authenticity guarantee for any individual item, and we do not inspect, hold or test stock ourselves.
What "checked" does not mean
It does not mean every item that seller lists is genuine, that stock levels are guaranteed, or that a price is the best available. Always confirm details on the seller's own site before paying.
Not yet checked, and you think this is wrong
If you run a store shown here and think the tier is wrong or the description is unfair, email hello@dropradar.co.uk and we'll look at it.
