Newegg's policy on retroactive credit

[Turbonium]

I ordered a video card off of Newegg.ca about a month ago, and now, the same product is considerably cheaper. Is there any way I can get some credit back, or am I out of luck?

Every heard of asking them?

Ever heard of not using sarcasm to address a perfectly legitimate and reasonable question?

My bad, as I didn't spend the last 5 years of my life making 14K+ posts on it.

Why would they give you any money? Will you be giving a percentage of the video card back?

No. You gave them money and they gave you the goods. If you didn't think it was worth what you paid, then you should have waited.

1. Newegg doesn't pricematch typically
2. Even if they did, a month ago prices are way too long of a wait. If you had any common sense, you would know that prices can fluctuate dramatically in that time, especially on computer/technology items.
3. There's something called email or live chat w/ newegg, try it.

FYI, OP, I bought a laptop for about $700 last year and about 2 weeks later the price fell by $180. I called and they gave me the discount and credited my card the $180. It's worth a try.

WTF why would they give you money back because the part has dropped in price A MONTH later?

 

[SunSamurai]

They really should have a clearly defined credit policy. Something like 2-3 week Newegg guarantee.

Because sometimes people might want to shop elsewhere iof newegg drops prices enough that people feel ripped off?

You can ask why, but they've done it plenty of times. Maybe they like customer loyalty. They've done it for me.

They won't
YOu could have used their chat support -- it is really useful

plenty of stores give 30 days price matching, even on their own products. The evil ass Best Buy everyone here hates does. I bought a mouse for $80 bucks, it went on clearance for $30 2 weeks later. I went back with my receipt and walked out with $50 + the tax difference a minute later. I don't see why all companies don't do this. I could understand not price matching competitors, but every store should at least price match their own shit for a month. BB even price matches on something like Memory that can go way up or down on price overnight.
