Why one is cheaper than the other
Factor by factor, with both stores’ data
All other stores costs 124 % more per capsule than HSN (€0.148/capsule against €0.066/capsule, medians of both catalogues). That difference does not come out of nowhere. These are the data that explain it, with each store’s figure alongside: capsules per pack (median), different brands in the catalogue.
| Factor | HSN | All other stores |
|---|---|---|
| Capsules per pack (median)HSN sells bigger packs, and a big pack spreads the same tub, the same label and the same shipping over more capsules. Part of the price gap per capsule is this and not a discount: comparing one store’s small pack with the other’s large one inflates the gap. | 120 caps. | 100 caps. |
| Different brands in the catalogueHSN mostly sells one brand, Now Foods: 67 % of its catalogue in this category. All other stores spreads its own across 50 brands. A store selling its own brand skips the manufacturer’s margin and can cut the price without touching the formula; a reseller pays that margin and passes it on, and in exchange carries brands the other does not sell. | 3 (67 % Now Foods) | 50 (33 % Desconocida) |
| Median rating at the storeBased on 118 reviews at HSN and 29 at All other stores. These are the store’s own ratings, which is judge and party: they help spot a product that arrives damaged or tastes awful, not decide which formula is better. | 4.8/5 | 5/5 |
None of these factors is an accusation. They are medians of what each store publishes on its pages on the day prices were collected: where a page does not declare a figure, that store does not count in that row instead of counting as a zero. A specific product can contradict its store’s median, and that is what the full table is for. How all of this is calculated.
This is a filter, not another ranking. The score that sorts this table is exactly the same as in the full vitamin B12 comparison: the only thing removed here is the products that do not meet the criterion above. How it is calculated.
