Hi
I bought a product on Friday and I see its dropped in price by 10% yesterday, on offer until the 21st.
Anyone experienced similar and had any luck asking for a credit of the difference?
Is it considered cheeky / rude / bad form to even ask the store?
Cheers
They usually are ok with this within a week of purchasing. This is also a great strategy for seasonal sales like Boxing Day or Black Friday if you're planning to buy something specific. buy your item a week early then refund the difference if they advertise a better price. you can even price match!
"cheeky / rude / bad form"
Are you kidding? I sometimes buy things and then when it gets cheaper I buy it again and return it with the old receipt. Works well with 30 day returns and when I know when the product will get cheaper but can't wait.
9/10 times they are happy to help. Unless it’s a finance product (absolute pita) then it’s literally a two minute job & they keep the margin.
If you’re a proper cheapies person anyway you were using a CSC card and the new Margin is probably adjusted to be the same anyway (nl have a whacky system where the markup they’re told products have in store doesn’t reflect the cost of the item particularly accurately).
If you bought their cga clone / extended warranty (ymmv but doyor with product protection) then it’s actually a stipulation that you get the money back
What's a CSC card? Community Service Card? Does that work at Noel Leaning?
Most retailers allow this. Some might say no around black Friday but it's always worth asking
Popped in to the store and they couldn't have been more helpful, refunded the difference no problems.
