Slice = online shopping organized {+ iPad Mini giveaway!}

This post and giveaway is sponsored by the Slice app. All opinions about the app are my own.

As I have mentioned like, 400 times, we have three family birthdays between November 16th and Christmas. That’s two kids and a husband I’m buying birthday presents for BEFORE Christmas and then of course, I’m also buying presents for everyone else in our family by Christmas. Oh, AND my mom and grandma give me money to buy all my kids presents from them, too. So I am buying a crap-ton of gifts this time of year! I buy so much stuff that I have to make a list of what I’ve ordered for whom (and whether it’s a birthday or a Christmas present) to make sure I’m not forgetting a gift or doubling up on one. It’s fairly mind-boggling. Like most savvy and super-busy mamas, I do most of my shopping online. All of this crazy birthmaspalooza shopping has led to piles and piles of packages in my living room, my bedroom closet, and my office closet! I vaguely take notice of what they are and then when the birthday comes around, I dig through the packages hoping that what I ordered has actually arrived. I’m such an organizational genius!

There's much more...in my bedroom and office closets.

So when I got an email asking me to try out Slice, an app that is basically the perfect assistant for a busy online shopper, I knew I had to check it out. Before I agreed to work on a review and giveaway with Slice, I downloaded the app to make sure that it would really be a helpful tool. After all, there wouldn’t be a point if I thought the app was a dud.

Slice is the opposite of a dud! It IMMEDIATELY proved very useful! I signed up, connected it with the two different email accounts I use for online ordering, and WHAM – soon my Slice app had a neat list for me of what I’d ordered, whether it had been shipped or not, when it was expected, or if it had already been delivered. Oh, and uh…how much I’d spent (ouch!). It even reminded me about some things I forgot I’d ordered…oops! Let me show you (I wish I could show you my OWN screen shots, but then several people would know what I’d bought them for Christmas, soo…here are some from Slice):

(I find it humorous that there are only a couple items for this person! Mine currently says 6 Pending, 1 Shipped, 1 Delivered.)

Android purchase history

Slice not only tells you what packages are coming and when (you can even use the app to TRACK YOUR PACKAGES, how great it that?!?!?), it also tells you if there have been any price drops on the items you’ve ordered. A lot of retailers offer price adjustments but most customers are too busy to watch for them. Now, Slice will do that for you! So if that Furby Boom you ordered for your little hellraiser goes on sale a few days AFTER you buy it, Slice will send you a nice little notification so you can go get yourself a price adjustment!

Another fab feature Slice offers is a recall notice. If something you’ve ordered is recalled for any reason, Slice will notify you via the app – so you’ll have a personal alert you can’t miss!

iOS Recall notification

Not only will you get an alert if an item you’ve purchased has been recalled, Slice will also provide you with a link to get the info you need from the Consumer Product Safety Commission Recalls Lists so you’ll have all the info you need at your fingertips immediately. Safety has never been more convenient!

If I haven’t already convinced you that you NEED Slice (and it’s available for iOS, Android, and the WEB – so you have no excuse not to get it!!), here’s a little incentive. If you sign up for Slice via this blog post, you’ll be entered to win an iPad Mini!!

That’s right, all you have to do to enter is sign up for Slice, then come back to this post to leave a comment telling me that you did so. When you comment you must comment with the email address that you used to sign up for Slice. My friends at Slice and I will be verifying that those email addresses are valid when we pick a winner! If your email isn’t signed up, ya can’t win.

Are you ready to have your online shopping be ultra-organized? Wouldn’t it be great to win an iPad Mini this time of year? Go for it! Simply sign up for Slice on the web, for iOs, or for Android then come back here and comment with your email address letting me know you did so.

One winner will be chosen at random from qualified email addresses on Monday, December 16 at 3 pm EST. This is valid in the US only, winners must reside in the US. GOOD LUCK!

Happy shopping and Slicing this holiday season!

  5. I totally did as requested of me! Downloaded! Now do as I request of you and pick me, pick me !!!!!! Yippee !!!

  6. Woah! That’s mad cool! I’m afraid of what would happen if my husband got my phone and saw the app and figured out that I have a little bit of a shopping problem? I forget I’ve ordered things too, it’s not a good quality.

  9. I did it. I felt kinda weird about it (sure, I’ll give you access to my email account… just me??), but I think it’ll help me in the long run. I’m sure the NSA is already reading my email so why not? I’m not that interesting anyways. 😉

  17. Thanks for sharing–what a great way to track all of my holiday gifts. If only it could help me organize the piles of packages accumulating in the living room! Email address included.

  28. I just downloaded the app and signed up. Love it! But, also a bit shocked at how much I’ve purchased online in the past 30 days – WHOA! Must be Christmas season! I really like the tracking features for shipped and delivered purchases.

  30. What!! This is seriously amazeballs. I signed up 7 seconds ago and it already knows all my purchases!! I signed up with robyn.swensen at gmail dot com. Thanks for giving us a heads-up about this thing!!

  35. This sounded so cool and I was RELIEVED when I saw that it was compatible with my device 🙂 Got it and am so looking forward to something that makes it so my brain can let go of one thing to remember! And, an ipad would make it even easier to use!

  40. I signed up. I registered it on jhflora654 @ yahoo dot com, but jhflora654 @ gmail dot com is my main email address for giveaways.

  41. Oh my gawd! What an awesome app. However, I could do without knowing how much I have overspent for the past year. (hee, hee). I see a lot of potential with this. Love that it tracks stuff, but why do some items appear twice? Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    mathgeekmom@gmail.com

  42. Very cool service! I can see this being super useful for knowing when to expect packages to arrive. There have been a lot of cases of packages being stolen off of porches this season (awful, right?) so if I know to expect a package within 1-2 days, I can make sure it gets delivered or report it right away if it goes missing. I registered using the email address that goes with this comment – thanks!
