bigjimslade Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I hope you took names to protect yourself. Just checked with mine and they said they would be PM on BF...They better be right, or I'm gonna be one angry customer!!
theboyzmom Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 yes, some WMs DO take stuff off the shelves so you can't price match...a few years ago I had to run up to WM on Thanksgiving night (cold meds for my ds), and I decided to gather the movies I wanted to pricematch and put them in one place so I wouldn't have to fight the crowds in the tiny area the movies are in... BF morning, I get my movies from their hiding place and take them to the register to PM and a manager looked at them and looked at me and actually told me that I had the only ones in the entire store...funny since there were TONS of them just a few hours before and I was one of the very first people in the store that morning (another cashier told me that they had pulled them off the shelves just before they opened the doors)
pinkroses4mommy Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Our Walmart always price matches on BF.
Mammacash Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I checked with my WM last week, because of the 30 mile rule in the past. They said as long as I had the ad I could PM. And I got the manager's name (Andy).
braylan1 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 what a bunch of crap. The Walmart I normally shop at relocated and is no longer near all the stores I shop at on BF. They moved about 7 minutes away. They still will honor PM though. The closest WM though will NOT honor PM on BF. Why do they have to be so dang difficult. Do what you SAY!!!! Oh, and guy also told me he doen't know what time they will open or any other details of BF Yea........I'm not a moron..... Soooo you mean to tell me you don't have any notice on when your store opens??
braylan1 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I hope you took names to protect yourself.Thanks for the advice, I called back and got names. They will really hate me when I whip out my notepad spouting off names, dates, and times of when I called, who I spoke with, and what I was told. haha. It's all about saving a buck though!!
sassyaztec Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 never had a problem pming on BF. Last year the checker asked if I was done with my Target ad and if she could have it to price match too. LOL
sns128 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I've never had a problem price matching at my Walmart. Even though alot of the stores are out of the 30 mile radius. The manager there always says they will price match on BF and it's never been an issue.
DLM Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 It seems to be all over their advertisements these days too that they will not be undersold. If you look at the scans it's on the front page. They are really going after the consumers this year it seems. Bring it on WALLYS!!!!
steff Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 They price matched me for a store about 40 miles away!
asweetgal4you Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 MrZone - Your last statement only applies if Walmart lowers their price within 7 days. Say you bought it on Thursday for $500, then on Sunday Walmarnt lowered THEIR price to $400--in that case you could bring your receipt in and they'd refund the difference. That does not apply when you are wanting them to honor a competitors price. In order for them to honor a competitors price you MUST buy the item during the time that it is on sale at the competitor, if you bought in advance Walmart would not refund the difference. YOur only option would be to return and rebuy during the sale perion.

I purchased a TV from WM and forgot to have them price match the TV. I went to the service desk of my local WM (not the one I purchased the TV from) with the ad. They went and refunded me my $100.01 for the difference without returning the TV. Basically, every WM will do things differently.

I believe what you did was take it back still during the sale time and instead of the employees making you return it and then go through the line, they probably just did the return and repurchase on the same register at the same time, kind of like and exhange giving you the difference bac. This of course is less work for everybody and pretty much the same thing as returning and rebuying. But, MrZone is talking about buying the TV at Walmart one week and then expecting them to give him the difference based on the competitors ad the next week. It doesn't work that way. He must purchase the TV at Walmart during the time period that it is on sale at the competitor.
CatandJacks Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 My local Wal-Mart gave me the big thumbs down on price adjusting. I am hitting the sale tomorrow to buy a TV, but wanted to buy it today to ensure I got it. I asked if I could then bring in my recipet and get the sale price and they acted like I was Mayor of Crazytown.

citrixgirl Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 ok was at my local non super center aka non 24 hour store and I was told they are going to be opening Thursday and not closing till late Friday.. They are doing tickets and pallets and spreading things out. They are price matching any physical ad you can get your hands on.
RaineeDay1 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I price match at walmart ALL the time and have done so for every BF for years. The ONLY thing I think I have seen them remove from shelves was movies which I rarely need. however the PM for ANY ad I can get my hands on is GREAT since i live north of metro detriot by a long ways but can get the ads. they have stores down there I do not have. say what you will I LOVE my WM they treat me very well.. of coarse this is the closest store to me so im there nearly every other day..
LuvMaerz Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Okay, this is going to sound bad... but I have never had a problem PMing at Walmart either. It is usually just on movies, but I think I also want that 9.99 electric griddle that Kohl's has on sale. I've found that if you go to a younger cashier, they never ask to see an ad and just take my word (not that I am trying to screw them over or anything!).
Starrc Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I've never had a problem price matching at Walmart either. They even price match groceries. The only thing my Walmart won't match a % off if the original price isn't on the ad or a B1G1 sale. I'm lucky enough to have 2 super Walmarts within 10 minutes either direction of me.

BLKFRI Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I went to Wal*Mart yesterday to buy the new Killers CD/DVD. It was priced at $13.88. I had my Target ad that had it priced at $11.98. I asked for a "Price Match". The cashier said she would have to call Target and verify that they had it in stock. A Dept. Mgr. heard the conversation and said, that that rule won't apply until Black Friday. Until then, just verify the date on the ad, and that it is the same item. So I got my "Price Match". I wonder if they are really going to do that? My roommate has been a cashier at Wal*Mart for 6 years, is working starting at 3 A.M. on Black Friday, and said she did not hear that.

With as long as the checkout lines get and as busy as the stores they are trying to call are I can't see that being a quick process. I think the cashiers and managers will get an earful if that will be the policy.
friholic Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Has anyone tried to price match on one of Walmarts bonus items? I was price matching a nerf item. The one at Walmart had a "bonus pack". The one with bonus had the same UPC as the non-bonus one, and the exact same price. I tried to price match, but the cashier told me "it wasn't the same thing".
angelic680 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 its not a price match question but my questions was closed.... its a price adjusted question maybe you guys can help!! Does anyone know If I purchased some items before Blackfriday if I can I bring them back and have them price adjusted if they go on sale Blackfriday, or even return them and buy them for the sale price?

happysunshine28 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Ok not big ticket stuff like TV's Im talking about xbox games and all will they refund a difference to me if they happen to go on sale If the game has a blitz sticker on it it wont be the same. Call local walmart and ask if they do that, I dont think they offer low price guarantee, they offer price match at time of purchase.
