Using Deal Alerts

Learn how Deal Alerts notify you when products you're watching have meaningful changes, helping you stay informed without constantly checking BrickSeek.

Using Deal Alerts

You don't have to keep checking BrickSeek to see if something has changed.

Deal Alerts monitor products you're interested in and notify you when meaningful updates occur, helping you stay informed even when you're away.

Whether you're waiting for a better price, improved availability, or simply keeping an eye on a product, Deal Alerts help you stay connected.

Why Use Deal Alerts?

Sometimes today isn't the right time to buy.

Instead of checking the same product every day, create a Deal Alert and let BrickSeek do the monitoring for you.

Deal Alerts are perfect when you're:

  • Waiting for a better opportunity.
  • Researching a future purchase.
  • Shopping for seasonal items.
  • Watching a high-demand product.

Creating a Deal Alert

You can create a Deal Alert from multiple places throughout BrickSeek.

Depending on the feature you're using, simply select Create Deal Alert to begin monitoring that product.

Current locations include:

  • Product Pages
  • Inventory Checkers

Creating an alert only takes a few seconds.

Managing Your Alerts

Your Deal Alerts page gives you a central place to review everything you're monitoring.

From there you can:

  • Review active alerts
  • Open the associated Product Page
  • Remove alerts you no longer need

Keeping your alerts organized makes it easier to focus on the products that matter most.
