Best Buy question - Blu-ray Forum

DealsR4theDevil · 12-17-2007, 10:38 AM

If I bought something from Best Buy on Thursdsay the 13th (last week) and this week that something is on sale, can I get the price difference refunded?

Rob71 · 12-17-2007, 10:44 AM

It's worked for me, But I don't know what their policy is. I could of just got a salesperson who couldn't care less.

Try it, what have you got to lose?

I know circuit city honors any price change within 30 days. If they tell you no, tell they you will return it and rebuy it at the sale price. That should work.

nhaase · 12-17-2007, 11:47 AM

Yes, you can. I think the sale price match ends at 2 weeks after purchase. I'm not sure on that, but I know it lasts at least one week.

Best buy annoys me. I had to argue for 15 minutes w/ a manager over 40 cents when they took a $5.00 manufacturers coupon off the price after they charged me tax not before. She insited that's just the way they do manufaturers coupons.

I've stopped going to BB because their prices suck. Amazon always beats them and you usually get free shipping. With BB, they'll give you free shipping on some titles but the prices are higher. Their latest BOGO wasn't nearly as good as Amazon's in both price and selection.

amazon is supposed to have better prices...they are an online retailer and you don't visually see the product...

BB is the best out of any other store where you can buy electronics IMO...

The Guardian · 12-17-2007, 01:29 PM

They honor pricematches within whatever the return policy is for that item (14 or 30 days depending on the item)...

Definitely better than Short-Circuit City!

For me, it's just not worth driving an hour to get there.

NovaBomb · 12-17-2007, 01:36 PM

is that something on sale at the same best buy you bought it? If so, you definity get price protection on it. I bought my TV before boxing day last year, and it ended up being $500 less on boxing day. I was able to get the $500 +tax back.

true...a lot of local stores rip you off and BB usually offers the best deals (offline that is)

Absolutely you have a 30 day price match guarantee. I asked Cris and he told me that statement is in a sign posted above customer service.

Yes, you have 30 days to price protect.

Their return policy is even better during the holiday season. I purchased a Tom Tom GPS from my GFs birthday Nov 3rd. The receipt stated that I had until the end of Jan to return it during the holiday season. On black friday the GPS dropped $100 in price - I stopped by last week with the receipt and they credited me the difference no questions asked.

CptGreedle · 12-17-2007, 02:49 PM

Technically, sale prices do not affect price matching, but I have heard of people getting away with it. Go for it, worse they can do is say "no"

zMadMonk · 12-17-2007, 03:14 PM

It also depends on what you paid with.

Many credit cards have "price protection" built in. If you used one of these cards (American Express, Most Chase Cards), you can tell the manager, "fine, I will dispute the charge." Go home, dispute said amount using the online form, and the credit card will not give them ANY money until it is settled.

You HAVE to try to deal with someone in person first, and I highly suggest getting that persons name to include in the body of the dispute field.

Most stores will not want to deal with this, as if they don't take care of it within a certain amount of time (and pull said money) they may lose the ENTIRE amount of the sale.
