falling5tarr Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 If I were to purchase an advertised BF laptop at Best Buy a week before Thanksgiving, and I go back to BB on BF with my reciept and ask for the difference of the sale back, will they honor that?

michaels31 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 That's a great idea in theory but will only work on the items that are NOT doorbusters. Best Buy will not accept any returns or exchanges until afternoon on BF(this includes price matches) and the doorbuster sales end at 11am typically. Since their price match policy is that the item must be matched while the item is on sale, the window would have closed by that time. (I think I just confused myself.)

Mp4 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 No. They will make up excuses of why they don't have to honor it and most of the time they do not sell the computers they have on sale before (sometimes they start selling them after the sale for retail price).

bigjimslade Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Most of the Best Buys close there customer service desk between 5am and 12 noon on Black Friday to use the registers to check out people. Also as Mp4 stated that most of Best Buys laptops and desktops are NOT regular stock items. They have a different SKU and UPC code then what they sell everyday. They do this so people wont price match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falling5tarr Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Well the laptop I am interested in is the rumored Sony VAIO which is not supposed to be a doorbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mp4 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Then why not just go there during the blackfriday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamapenguin Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Then why not just go there during the blackfriday?I think that the OP wants to make sure that they get th lap top they want without camping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falling5tarr Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 I will most likely have to work Black Friday, so I am trying to avoid camping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mp4 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Well, if its not a doorbuster then you should be able to go there anytime and buy it. It depends if it has a limit per store or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloey Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 And don't forget to sign up for the rewards program and you will get another 12% off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falling5tarr Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Just because it's not a doorbuster, doesn't mean it won't sell out quickly. Anyways, I may just go there Friday morning. I just found out I'm not working that day until 1pm anyways. I'll be dead tired, but it'll be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TnTWalter Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 and at the bottom of the receipt is says something to the effect that items bought between nov 1 and dec x? [sorry don't have it with me] can be price adjusted if a sale occurs before Jan 24, 2007. Also they wouldn't give DH the extra 12% [he didn't try very hard....] because it was a 'sale' price...oh well. Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickstx Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Along this same line... I am eyeing a Casio camera in the Sears ad but I will be at BB during the blitz. I want to pick it up at BB while I'm there but the Sears ad doesn't specify the manufacturers model number in the ad. The ad does show a pic though. I guess they could just call if they want to. Anyway, what is the likelyhood that I would be able to get them to PM that morning, maybe through the PSA checkout? Also, I know it's bad form....but couldn't I buy the camera 1st, then pull out the ad to have 110% back? It works out to about $15 extra to me. BTW, Sears ad says $169 BB website today said $315. It's a good deal either way, I just don't want to have to fight my way back into the store later that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price difference, it's probably a different model number, and you will miss out on the deal. Also BB's Customer Service counter is always used for regular checkout until noon, so they won't let you price match. But if you are missing Sears anyway, it couldn't hurt to try.
