Affiliate disclosure

The Silent Carat is a reader-supported comparison site. Here is exactly how that works.

How we make money

Some links on this site — including the links on retailer certificates in The Ledger — are affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you buy through our link or go to the retailer directly.

How that affects our grading

It doesn't determine it. Grades on The Ledger are based on published pricing, catalogue breadth, stated policies (returns, resizing, warranty) and, where available, verifiable shipping information for Canadian buyers. Commission rates are not a factor in the grades assigned, and a retailer paying a higher commission is not given a better grade because of it.

Where our information comes from

We rely on each retailer's own published pricing, policies and product catalogues. These change — retailers run sales, adjust catalogues and update shipping terms — so treat prices shown here as a starting point and always confirm current details on the retailer's own site before you order.
