Do any stores match online prices??

[Free4Life11]

I wanted to get Friends Season 1 for a friend from Wal-Mart, but they were sold out. They've got the cheapest price though ($19.86). Does anyone know if Best Buy, Target, Circuit City, etc. will price match online prices?? That's the only way I can think of to "prove" that's how much it costs at Wal-Mart.

I doubt it but it's worth a shot. Thanks!

You'll have to check the fine print for each retailer's rules, but I think most of the big stores (all the ones you've mentioned) are very similar.

They usually will not price match internet offers, only actual retail stores in your local area.

They also will generally not match on limited quantity or sold out items. For instance, Best Buy would not price match on that item that Wal Mart is sold out of.

You should be able to find their price matching policies for their store at each company's website.

Thanks. I ended up just ordering it through Amazon. It was about the same price as Wal-Mart and I realized it would save me a trip to the post office as I'd have to mail the gift to this friend. Plus I had no idea that Amazon did giftwrap!

I love Amazon.. I do a lot of my Christmas shopping there every year.

Amazon really is great! I learned my lesson with free shipping though and only use it when I'm not worried about receiving the item at a specific time.

Amazon really messed me up this year. Ordered DH a 19" LCD monitor from them and they shipped it in its original box, with a big picture & description of it on the outside! Guess who brought it in the house! I can't believe, at this time of year, that they'd ship anything like this.

Also DH ordered one of my gifts from Amazon, and apparently they allow many other companies to list items on their website. He didn't realize it at the time, but the order was sent through a 3rd party. He started checking on it because it had been several weeks and he'd not received the item although his card had long ago been charged... and started digging only to find out that this 3rd party has all negative feedback. The comments were that Amazon wasn't helpful in resolving the disputes, so he's contacted his AMEX. Just be aware that there are fraudulent companies listing on Amazon.

Sam's Club has most of the older Friends seasons for $17.38 (or some oddball price like that). I think I'll wait a few months and get the last couple. I already have 1-7. Bought them as they came out - now I could kick myself!
