Future Shop / Best Buy WILL NOT PRICEMATCH Dec 26/27!!!

[blainehamilton]

This should be a sticky.

Both Future Shop and Best Buy have a no pricematch or return policy on Dec 26/27..

In fact, customer service at the stores is closed and unstaffed, so there will be nobody to do returns or pricematches for you. If you ask the staff, the answer will be no.

Returns can be done Dec 28 and after. They will not pricematch dec 26/27 prices on Dec 28 and later, as these are 'limited quantity' and 'doorcrasher' items and are exempt from the price protection policy. Same applies to the limited and doorcrasher items from the Dec 28 to 31 and competitor flyers.

You can theoretically buy an item on Dec 26/27 and return it with your earlier purchased item receipt, provided no serial number is on the receipt. Feel free to weigh if the time spent is worth it and if it is ethically acceptable to do so...


This post is prompted by the multiple posts of 'can I pricematch boxing day???' In the deals forum...

Can someone explain me one thing please.
If I get the sony 32inch TV at FS(the same model as the source) can I PM with the source on the 28th because Source will have it for 450$ on the 26th(boxing day) but Im gonna buy it from FS on boxing day since I got FS gift cards...
I dont know if itll work...

wow this is like the 5th thread stating FS and BB do not PM on Boxing day... i thought this was obvious. and if not why is it being posted so many times!

Also to the questions above no you cannot.

This is the third thread on this.

Just to add, this Information is on the Receipts the past few weeks. It's also posted on Customer Service area.



Happy Holidays!!!

TY.
lol I was kinda scared to make a thread about the question because I knew I would get flamed so the OP did a fine job posting this.
Maybe make this an official thread or sticky it so people know and ask here first. Its not like its gonna last forever, you know, just for the boxing day craze.

So I have to buy a Sony 52' and carry it back to home for two days. And return it at 28? The shipping cost will kill the PM.
Can I just buy it and leave it in the store?

I'd just like a clarification:

Will BB/FS not Price Match at the cashes with a flyer from another store on the 26th/27th, or will they just not do price protection (i.e. refunding the difference on a previously bought item)?

They won't price match or price protect on the 26/27.

Let's make it even clearer:

There is no customer service staff and customer service counter open on Dec 26/27. Even if you tried to pricematch an item against their flyers, a competitor, or even tried to return an item on those 2 days, there is nobody and nowhere to do so.


Another request to make this a sticky. There are new threads popping up asking the same question.

You know, the fact that this thread exists makes it quite evident why people here gripe about BB and FS (+ other big box stores), and have problems with those stores .

I'm still unclear about the price protection policy. If I buy something on the 26/27th, then within 30 days (or whatever it is) the price drops even more, can I get a refund of the difference? Or is that what they mean by no price protection on limited supply/doorcrashers.

To be a little more specific, I'm in the market for a laptop, but the boxing day deals aren't so great, so I was thinking the prices may go down even more by the end of January.

Laptops are only price protected for 15 days. If it does drop in those 15 days, then yes, they will PM for you.
