Who you are buying from

Goodshelf is a store brand of Wildcard AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation registered to do business in California. Wildcard AI, Inc. is the merchant of record for every order: we sell the product, collect payment through Stripe, arrange shipping, and handle returns and support.

Business address: Wildcard AI, Inc., 156 2nd St STE 630, San Francisco, CA 94105.

Where our products come from

We are setting up supply with distributors and brand wholesale programs. Each product page shows whether we have confirmed its source and, once confirmed, names the source type.

Every product we sell is new and in its original packaging.

How we make money

We earn a small percentage of every order we process. That is the only way we make money from a sale.

  • No paid placement. No brand pays to be sold, listed, ranked, or featured in our product pages, guides, collections, comparisons, or tests.
  • If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be labeled as sponsored at the top of the page.
  • Testers in our comparison tests are paid a flat fee that does not depend on the result. See How we test.

How we write and check what is on this site

  • A labeled byline and a named reviewer. Every guide is written by the Goodshelf editorial team and signed by one of its labeled house desks (an editorial desk, not a person, with no personal credentials claimed) or by a contributor whose credentials we verified. A named person checks each fact against its source before it publishes. Who writes our guides.
  • Sources for every claim. Articles list their sources; product pages link every certification and review they cite.
  • No fake signals. No invented reviews, ratings, statistics, badges, or certifications. A verification mark appears only when a dated record backs it.
  • The same page for everyone. People, search engines, and AI assistants get the same facts. We do not hide text or show crawlers different content.
  • Depth over volume. We publish guides at a steady, low pace and do not create pages for every keyword variation. Pages without enough of their own substance are kept out of search indexes until they have it.

Shipping and returns

  • We ship to every US state, Puerto Rico, and military addresses. Standard shipping is $5.95 and free on orders of $49 or more, and most orders arrive in 4-8 business days. Shipping policy.
  • Returns are free for 30 days: we email you a prepaid label, and there is no restocking fee. We issue your refund to your original payment method within 10 business days of receiving the return. Your bank may take a few more days to post it. If you change your mind, the original shipping charge is not refunded, though return shipping is still free and there is no restocking fee. If the item arrived damaged, defective, or wrong, we refund the original shipping as well. Return policy.
  • If a package has not arrived, tell us within 30 days of its expected delivery date. We reship it or refund you, and we handle the claim with the carrier.

Warranty

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, where the manufacturer offers one, under the manufacturer's terms. If you need to make a warranty claim, email us with your order number and we will tell you how to proceed with the manufacturer.

Payments and security

  • Checkout runs on Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe, which is certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 service provider, and never reach our servers.
  • The whole site is served over HTTPS.
  • To report a security issue, see our security.txt or email [email protected].

Privacy and data

We never sell personal data for money, share some with ad partners when advertising is on, honor Global Privacy Control, and never see your card number. Privacy policy.

AI assistants and shopping agents

AI assistants are welcome to read every page, use our product feeds, and start checkouts on a shopper's behalf; the shopper always completes payment. The rules, endpoints, and rate limits are on the agent guide.

Accessibility

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. Every page works without JavaScript, every form field is labeled, text meets AA contrast, and every action can be reached by keyboard.

Contact and disputes

Email [email protected] with your order number. Our team replies within one business day. Every way to reach us is on the contact page.

If we cannot resolve a problem with your order, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer. Disputes go through Stripe, and we answer them with the order records.

Corrections

If something on this site is wrong, email [email protected] with a link to the page. We correct the page and, for anything beyond a typo, note the change in the changelog below.
