    They said that to me this morning...

    But when I showed the website to them, they did it anyway

    Yeah, I tried showing the Big W site listing with the retail and discounted prices. I was told unless there was a catalogue with an actual written price, they won't do it.

    Yeah. Hit that a few years back at Target. With more expensive items % can lead to all sorts of price drops they are not willing to take. I can respect that, though it is stupid at this level.

    Yeah, they'll always try to wiggle out of it.

    T's & C's for anybody else having issues with Kmart

    I picked up a toy from Kmart today and had it successfully price matched with Big W.

    Last two times i tried price matches in 2019 at big w it was refused.
    I talked to the friendly employees who explained their had been some policy change / update to big w price matching.

    Does anyone know the specifics on this?
    Inhad the same answer at two diff stores suggesting it would have been an internal communication/msg to employees etc.

    I can find kmarts policy on their website easily but can not find one on big w site have they removed it?

    I don't have anything in writing but I was told when they still had Titans Return on the shelf but just before they reduced them (late last year?), that it now has to be an item featured in a Big W catalogue and the store/price you are attempting to price match at the same time. Wonder who they had in mind with that system?

    It was a new policy when I was told that because I had no problem maybe a week before that but again, nothing in writing and long enough ago that even could've changed again.

    Yeah I'm going to ask at my local what is actually going on. And why has the policy been removed from their website.

    Why worry? Give it time and soon all stores will be having closing down clearance sales anyway

    LOL ^

    I've given up on wasting my time with price matching here in Perth.
    Tried it with kmart and BigW but only given a flat "no" and made to feel as though you're trying to do something dodgy that no one else does.
    These days i shop online (not through local big retailers) or wait for a toy fair to grab what i want... less stressful and no dramas.
