The checks behind the verdict
Most Gruntled reviews are desk-based. That means we inspect the retailer’s public website and policies; we do not pretend we ordered, visited or tested something when we did not.

What the business sells, who it suits and what makes it different.
- 2Check the buying details
UK delivery, returns, cancellations, contact routes and important exclusions.
- 3Look for the catches
Compatibility, subscriptions, custom goods, health limits or booking terms.
- 4Give a balanced verdict
Who should shortlist it, who should compare elsewhere and what to verify now.

Trust the process, not the pig
Friendly tone. Serious standards.
We identify the limits. Desk research is labelled and hands-on experience is never implied.
We separate facts from judgement. Policies can change, so we link readers to the current merchant information.
We disclose commercial links. Gruntled may earn commission, but payment does not buy a verdict or ranking.
We correct material errors. Readers and businesses can send evidence through our contact page.
