Field questions
How does ShelfSpring decide that a phone has returned?
A second observation must confirm the availability change. The underlying inventory is checked frequently. Source checks, synchronization and notification delivery can add delay; a subscription does not speed up the source checks.
Why compare the history with today's stock?
Current stock helps you order now. History shows which configurations have returned and how long past listings lasted; neither a busy hour nor a frequent return guarantees the next one.
What is included before I subscribe?
The stock pages, map and recorded restocks are free. Notifications cost $5/month for 10 rules, $10 for 20 or $20 for 50, with cancellation available in your account (plans).
What do I need for notifications on an iPhone?
Add shelfspring.com to the Home Screen from Safari, open that app, sign in and allow notifications. The illustrated setup walks through those steps.
Does an alert reserve the phone?
No. It is a prompt to check Apple. Complete the purchase with in-store pickup and wait for Apple's ready-to-collect message before travelling (Apple's guidance).
