My Kmart wouldn't even price match leader brawl today. Even though the closest Big W had about 20 in stock yesterday. I'll try at another Kmart tomorrow and might get a few deluxes.
I tried twice and they were pretty rude, we snatched our catalogue back and walked off on the register manager the fist time, she was being such a douche bag, I’ve been mugged by friendlier people, well their attitude was better towards me.
Were not rude, especially my girl friend, she ends up almost being friends with most people we deal with and everyone remembers us usually for the right reasons..
So basically don’t try to price match at Airport West Kmart.
I will also like to price match and refund my Animated Voyagers but that would just be a bonus.
From past experience, the store I've found that pulls every trick out of the book when it comes to refusing to price match would have to be (by far) DJ's :mad:.
When they had those Titaniums for $50, They used excuses like "TRU isn't in the same shopping centre as us, They're not the exact same figures, Blah Blah Blah... "
Yeah, that's a great attitude to encourage customers to buy from you in the future... :rolleyes:
No point jaydisc, I TOLD the jerk that my friend bought it from TRU and that I can bring the receipt. He said, "Well your friend's lucky he got a good deal then, but there's no way we'll price match when Big W doesn't have the stock". What an ass! :mad:Quote:

I hope I don't have any issues when my TRU gets Inferno instock...
how is it you can complain about them not matching, when it's a TRU exclusive and therefore NO WAY IN HELL Bigw will have it, so you CAN'T pricematchQuote:

If the other place has it stock, why TF wouldn't I just buy it there?
My memory isn't perfect, but the night of the sale at Campbellfield, I remember a big, fat, Kmart banner entitled "Lowest Price Guarantee" which said if a competitor has advertised a lower price, they'll beat it by 10% of the difference. Keyword: Advertised
Some Kmart lady pulled that crap on me when I tried to match BA and Ratchet. She said they had to have it in stock. I said call. She then said she'd only match Ratchet because that's all Big W had in stock. I said fine and swapped the BA for a second Ratchet and then I beamed over her as she was unable to mark up the original price in order to make the 20% off not be considerably less than Big W, and in the end she HAD NO CHOICE but to put it in the computer as 20% off their existing 20% off. Now that's karma.

Regardless of all of that, that still doesn't explain why TF76 failed. What excuse did they pull if the other store had stock?

My work has always had a "we'll beat by x%" used to be 1, now is 5.... and most times you could get employee discount as well.
But also, many customers are still loyal to certain stores.... so prefer there dollars to go to who they like
What an absolute a$$! lcz128 and myself today went and we price-matched two sets in the 1 transaction, No hassles, worries at all. Hell, the chick was so nice and friendly and helpful.Quote:

We're pretty sure they do since it's a big sale but it's cool if u guys wanna check first"
She didn't even call her manager, just smiled and processed them.
Lcz128 also happens to be one of the most kindest lookin' blokes and he helped her with packing the stuff away into his carry bags. Just all those little things went a long way to making it not even a difficult transaction. I remember at Knox last year where I pricematched a few G1 Jazz that that was somewhat harder but what u guys went thru at chaddy is ridiculous!
(oh and annoyed but glad b/c lcz128 and myself thought that Iceburn said there were no more Mudflap/Inferno's left at TRU Chaddy so we made the effort to go all the way out to Knox. We were contemplating going to highpoint and trying the impossible if all else failed.
And it gets me riled up that I just wanna go and price-match some more. There's a certain sense of victory about it.
