DISCLOSURE

DudeShopping.com is an editorial site featuring THOUSANDS of curated items, with up-and-coming brands as well as the classic favorites. We handpick all products on the site, posting new products daily.

The purpose of Dude Shopping is to curate the best of the internet for men – with products ranging from technology, clothing, events, travel destinations, and transportation. We don’t sell any products featured on the site whatsoever. That being said, we do receive a small percentage of sales from some of the products on the site. We also accept paid advertising, sponsorship, affiliate programs and other forms of compensation. In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following regarding products and links on the site:

The majority of links on DudeShopping.com are affiliate links. Simply put – if you click on a link taking you outside of the site and purchase certain items from vendors, we may receive a small commission. In these cases, we may write about what we’ve heard about the product, but if we haven’t tried it, we’ll be clear that we’re not endorsing it and are only passing on a compilation of what we’ve heard or read from other users of the product.

There may be times where DudeShopping.com will receive a product in exchange for a review. In those cases, we will be 100% objective and make it clear upfront with any product exchanges that our review will be honest, even if it does not reflect the product in a positive light.

When DudeShopping.com runs a giveaway, it’s possible that we have also received a free product to review in addition to the company sponsoring a free product to giveaway to our site audience. For any giveaway, we don’t accept any form of compensation beyond a product sample, and if we receive samples, we’ll be sure to provide a disclaimer to alert our visitors.
