Does walmart pricematch?????

[0roo0roo]

i have a reciept for the same item from another store at a lower price. if i bring both reciepts in will they correct the difference?

 

[Smolek]

I dont think they have an official policy on that. Some will allow it, some wont.

 

[Ferocious]

I think it might depend on that particular store's management policy.

There are two Lowes stores near me along with one Home depot.

The one Lowes store will pricematch Home depot....but the other Lowes will not.

My local walmart's do.

edit: I'm not sure about pricematching after you bought it, worth a shot..

yeah, what have you got to lose?

you could probably return it and buy it again

i guess its more price adjustment then matching🙂 against their hated enemy target to boot 😉

well, that all depends
they do pricematch, but more often than not you'll get an inbred clerk (or manager) that can't comprehend the concept of price-matching, so you'll have to wait a good 15 minutes while they look over the ad/receipt in detail, then call up their inbred superior to get an approval.

unless it's a signifigant difference i wouldnt bother. i can't stand being in walmarts.. and the times i have tried to price match things have made me want to go on a rampage 😀

for example. i wanted to price match max payne for pc. it was $4.99 at compusa. the ad said "$19.99 - $15 instant savings = $4.99". Wal-mart was selling the game for $19.99.

I showed the clerk the ad. She didn't understand it. The manager came over. Fatass trailer trash skank.

her: "I don't understand what this instant savings means"
me: "Normally the game is $19.99, but they're saying you save $15 and can buy the game for $4.99"
her: "but we don't price match mail in rebates"
me: "i understand that. this is INSTANT savings, not a mail in rebate. if you'll look in the ad they list other things as being discounted after mail-in-rebate, but THIS one has instant savings."
her: "but i dont get what this instant savings means"
me: "it means I CAN WALK INTO COMPUSA AND BUY THE GAME FOR $4.99 CASH, WHICH MEANS YOU CAN MATCH THAT PRICE OF $4.99"
her: "i'm sorry, we don't price match mail in rebates. i can't help you"

so i went to a different walmart (it was late, only place open, and compusa is too far away)... this time i got a clerk who had no idea what instant savings meant once again... she paged her manager. we sat there for 15 mins waiting for a reply, got nothing.. the entire time the clerk was reading the ad with a baffled look on her face, and eventually just gave it to me.

Yeah, some PM rules are plain BS. Like the one that "oh the other store has to have X item in stock for us to PM" rule. Even if you show them the ad, they're like FREAK U...

BAD PM'ers:

CompUSA
BB
Circuit City

Okay PM'ers:

Target (to some extend)
Toys R US (show them an add, they cut it out, and give you that price)

What's wrong with that? It wouldn't be fair if Store A put an item on sale for a ridiculous price and only had a few in stock, and then Store B would be on the hook for their entire inventory of the item at that low price...

Offical Walmart Policy: They are not supposed to pricematch this.

Walmart will not match other walmart stores or receipts of purchases from other stores. No online ads are to be matched either. Walmart will match a competitors price if it is the exact same item within a reasonable distance of the store (YMMV here) in a printed ad you can bring into the store.

BTW, I work there 🙁🙂

Mine does.

Usually it's best to buy it from the competitor first.

Then buy the product at Walmart.

Take both receipts to the Walmart customer service counter, wait for 2 hours, then request a price adjustment/match and they usually will.

As always YMMV.

 

[ohtwell]

The one where I live does! I'm not sure that they all do though!

If you bought the item from the competition, there wouldn't be a need to pricematch anymore, would there?

With a normal retailer yes but Walmart has always been weird whenever I attempt a PM.
