Frequently Asked Questions

Stock Goblin is your go-to website for finding items that are out of stock everywhere. We track these elusive products across several leading online retailers and notify you the moment they're available.

No - using Stock Goblin is completely free.

You can browse live stock pages without an account. To set up alerts (email, push, Discord or Telegram), you'll need a free account so we know where to send them.

We track stock across a growing list of major UK retailers. Head to the retailer page to see which retailers we track.

Stock Goblin offers several notification options:

• Website Page Listings: Our stock checker pages auto-refresh every few minutes, so you don't need to do anything.
• Audio Alerts: Keep a tab open and a sound plays when new stock is found. Test the alarm in your browser first.
• Email Alerts: Convenient, but may be delayed slightly by your email provider.
• Push Notifications: Instant alerts on mobile or desktop with no delay - the best option for grabbing fast-selling stock.
• Discord: Immediate alerts on any device. Join our server and follow the setup instructions.
• Telegram: Instant alerts via the Telegram app using the invite links on our site.
• Social Media: Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for live updates and insider tips.

Sometimes we review stock detections before alerting everyone. If only a few units are available, we may limit who gets notified to avoid mass frustration — audio alert users and Push Notification subscribers are informed first.

Occasionally a retailer sends us a false stock signal. While our history log might briefly show stock, we do our best to catch and avoid sending false alerts.

Stock Goblin emails are accurate at the time of sending. Delays in receiving or reading the email can mean the stock sells out before you see it — check the timestamp on the email.

This means access has been blocked due to irregular or excessive page refreshing. Accounts attempting to gain an unfair advantage over other users are automatically restricted, and this isn't reversed.

Having multiple tabs open, or continuously refreshing a page (manually or with software), can trigger this and temporarily block access to stock info. Avoid constant refreshing and multiple open tabs — for tracking several products at once, use our "All Live Products" page instead.

Google Chrome works best for audible alerts. Safari can block the audio features needed for this to work reliably.

Amazon often releases small quantities that sell out in seconds. Keep refreshing for the best chance, and enabling Amazon's 'One Click Ordering' can help you check out faster once stock appears.

We adjust the refresh rate dynamically to manage site traffic and keep the checker running smoothly for everyone.

We probably just don't know about it yet! Please suggest a product and we'll consider adding it based on demand.
