Walmart.com's price matching

[kevin87]

I tried to PM bestbuy.com's $4.99 price for Where The Wild Things Are and they replied back saying they can't do it because the shipping charges make it higher than walmart.com's base price. I've PMed Amazon and Target and Best Buy's website multiple times and I've never gotten this excuse. It's almost like they think other stores don't have shipping charges. Is this some new addition to the policy where shipping is included in the overall price to match that they just haven't said before, or are they just trying to find new ways to get out of their own policies?

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for reaching out to Walmart.com. Upon review, we’re sorry but your request for a price match does not qualify. Unfortunately, the movie on bestbuy.com does not include the extra shipping charge. When the extra shipping charge is included the movie price is $9.97 plus tax. Since the price on Walmart.com is $7.99 plus tax, we are unable to honor the price match request.

You can read our full Online Price Matching Policy here.

If you have additional questions, please reply to this email and we'll be happy to assist.

Sincerely,

Jonathan D.
