Has this always been the way? I thought that Staples.com was the only one who pricematched to websites. Now if they just came out with some Staples.com style quality coupons and always free shipping that would be great.

umm...Got news for you. Yeah they pricematch, yes they have coupons and yes, they have free shipping. Last free shipping ended sunday night at midnight.

For buy.com coupons, I go to FIghtDivx and check out the coupon section.

The thing about Buy.com's Price Match policy is that it has to be one of the following merchants only....

800.com
Amazon.com
BestBuy.com
Beyond.com
Bigstar.com
Bluelight.com
Bn.com
Booksamillion.com
Borders.com
Cdnow.com
Cduniverse.com
Cdworld.com
CircuitCity.com
Compusa.com
Computers4Sure.com
Dell.com
Ecost.com
Egghead.com
EToys.com
FirstSource.com
Fogdog.com
Gateway.com
Golf.com
Officedepot.com
Officemax.com
Onvia.com
Outpost.com
Sportsauthority.com
Sportschalet.com
Staples.com
Target.com
Towerrecords.com
WalMart.com

So it would appear that they don't price match B&M stores. BUT, you may be able to get the Mercata discounts at Buy.com, but I'm not sure, I have never tried!

First let me say I'm not happy with buy.com's pricematching as I got scr*wed about $30 (roundtrip shipping charges)last time I tried it.

Second, they do indeed pricematch more vendors than those listed in UnAshamed1's posting.

Third, unfortunately, you can't tell what they'll do with the pricematch until it's too late to cancel, in which case you can lump it or ship it back for a refund THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE INITIAL DELIVERY COST OR THE RETURN DELIVERY COST. (!@#$%^& !@#$^%^&*(!!!)

A while ago someone posted a deal on a Nikon camera with a mfgr's $150 rebate and suggested a pricematch to a site that, on purpose or by accident, had a sale price net of the rebate that actually appeared on your checkout page "net of mfgr's rebate."

It was a great deal, but, being a greedy little duck, I went to buy.com, applied a $30 coupon for a returning customer purchasing over $150, and bought the camera AND applied for a pricematch using their electronic system, which is the only way you can pricematch.

They subsequently "determined" that the PM$ was net of rebate and added it back and sold me the buy.com price less PM plus rebate less $30 plus shipping, and the shipment was on the way. I was NOT given the opportunity to turn down the inferior PM they substituted. Well, in the course of things it became pretty easy to get the camera at about my first PM price, but I was stuck with buy.com's !@#$% return policy and PM procedure.

I thought about calling up and making a scene, but decided to just avoid them, unless their deal is rediculously below everyone else's.

In any case my lesson learned was "DON'T PM buy.com!!"

hychka: Should have told them you did not agree to pay for it at that price and if they want it back the had better arange shiping. Then you call you credit card company and contest the charge. You purchased it at a lower price and they still shipped it to you even though they denied you the rebated. They can't force you to pay for something you didn't agree to and they sure can't charge you shiping for something they mis-shipped.

The thing with Buy.com is that you agree to pay the buy.com price and you request a pricematch... I don't think you have many legal options with your credit card company since the legal contract involved the buy.com price... not the PM price.

I've had pretty good experience PM'ing buy.com. Even with obscure small sites. They've honored the PM both times I've requested it.

yeah dont fall for this guys it doesnt work. im still disputing a charge from the because the refuse to pricematch a company that had a product 20$ cheaper (a game). i called sierra and the other company is an authorized reseller so i dont know why buy.com says they arent. ill just keep playing swat3 for free until they buy.com gets back to me. i even asked over the phone and they said yeah they will pricematch that only to be turned down by the offices in california.

Well, after looking up my records, I feel somewhat better ... I lost about $12, not $30, on shipping.

But, I did call and complain about their practice, listened politely while they explained the "agree & request" thing, and then told them my policies...
1.)"Once ripped off and I'm gone, baby!"
2.)"It will take ONE H*LL of a DEAL to get me back!"
3.)"I tell my friends which e-commerce folks to avoid."

Oh, well! Where's the next deal??!!
