Not Delivered in the Blue Truck, by Nio Innovations LLC (Fort Mill, South Carolina). Live site: https://notdeliveredinthebluetruck.com — Code: https://github.com/barath-jayaraman/not-delivered-in-the-blue-truck

Every shopping site leads with one number: the sticker price. But the sticker is rarely what a purchase costs. A "cheap" item can arrive late, carry a shipping charge that erases the savings, and come with a 14-day window where the buyer pays return shipping — while an item a few dollars more ships free, arrives sooner, and can be returned free for 60 days. No single page shows that full picture. Shoppers open a dozen tabs or guess — and households lose money on the guess.

Not Delivered in the Blue Truck makes the whole decision in one place. The shopper searches as on any retail site, picks a priority — lowest total, fastest delivery, or easiest returns — and sees the options side by side: price, shipping, delivery date, return window and who pays for returns, restocking fee, warranty, and seller rating, rolled into one total. One option carries the Best Whole Deal badge (never when only one store carries the product), and the trade-off is explained in plain language. When the shopper is ready, the purchase finishes at the store itself: one tap on "Continue checkout at [store]" takes them directly to that store's own checkout with the item already in its cart, and they pay there. This site collects no checkout or payment information at all, and stores nothing: no prices, no orders, no personal details.

That is a design rule, not a limitation. Every offer is fetched live at the moment of the search — the site searches 230 stores today: 228 first-party stores through their own published commerce profiles (Universal Commerce Protocol), eBay through its official Browse API, and Harbor Freight. Every merchant sits in a policy registry with the route its own terms allow; a merchant that prohibits automated access is excluded entirely, never worked around. To build that registry honestly, we audited the terms of the top 1,000 online retailers: 410 can be reached through a route their terms allow. Each store's return window, return cost and restocking fee in the comparison was re-verified against that store's own published policy; anything not verified is shown as "not stated" — the site never displays an invented number. Scoring is deterministic: totals and rankings are computed, never generated, and every offer carries provenance. A typical search returns in about two to three seconds, still fetched live, every time. Roadmap beyond the hackathon: in-site checkout, order tracking and in-site returns.
