Describe what you need
Type the model, storage and colour, and add a photo if you have one. FindHub suggests what shops sell as you type.
The answer
Send a photo and any code printed on the item to many shops at once. Uncommon products and older models are usually held by one specialist nearby, and a single FindHub request reaches every registered shop in your area, so the one that has it can reply with a price.
People give up when the first two shops say no. The item is often in stock somewhere close, but no one knows where. Asking all registered shops at once, with a clear photo and the part or model number, is the fastest way to find the one that has it.
Step by step
- Take a clear photo of the item and its label.
- Write the brand, model and any number printed on it.
- Send to all shops within a wider distance, for example 25 km.
- Wait for replies; shops reply during their opening hours.
- Ask the replying shop to confirm it is in stock.
Tips
- Widen the distance if nobody replies.
- Accept compatible alternatives if the original is rare.
- Check "Also contacted" to see who was asked.
