Staples price matching on-line adds (maybe old news)!

[Krash]

Might be old info but here goes;I bought a Canon S-100 Digital ELPH from Staples B&M on the 15th and they matched the lowest on-line price I could find. All I had to do was print the page showing the on-line add and they matched it. $394 vs. $499, their in store price. They charge, in addition, whatever the published shipping charges, but if that can't be determined, $5. Pretty hot deal.

Sears will do this as well.

What I don't get is if you are at the B&M staples why they have to tag the shipping on the product. Give me a break, u r at the store already and picking the stuff up what shipping are they charging?

 

[lizardboy]

what i don't understand i why you would buy at the b&m with all those online coupons floating around plus 4% back from dash...unless you enjoy paying higher prices

Because that is the exact price you would have to pay.

because not all items in B&amp;M are available thru staples.com.

What the hell does B&amp;M mean?

What's dash?

Yep but I guess it helps the newbies. You can also price match online as well.

What the hell does B&amp;M mean?

You're probably kidding but it means brick and mortar, a real actual physical walk in store, not a .com store.

What's dash?

Dash.com gives you back a certain % similar to eBates.com

I'm new to price match so my question is
Can I call the online store and get price match at the time befor i make a purchase
or i need to buy first , then price match later?

Thanks

best way i've found

say you want a hard drive...

1) see if staples carries it...how much is it &amp; can they deliver it in 1 day...

2) find the best price you can at another store (bestbuy, circuit city, etc) or online...but for online orders you have to include their overnight shipping charges if staples offers 1 day delivery...if staples offers 3-4 day delivery just add their regular shipping charges

3) place the order online at staples.com, using the dashbar (dash.com 4% off) and use a coupon from the usual sites (techbargains, fatwallet, etc.)

4) wait a little while after you place your order...then call 800-3STAPLES and tell them you would like to do a price adjustment with _______________ (wherever you found it cheaper)...they will put you on hold, verify the price/shipping/instock &amp; you should get a refund of the difference in price

B &amp; M = brick and mortar, the physical building. Not a online store.
