Had full cart of products for a computer build today. Only wanted a 95$ price match on a 100$ case. Sales guy says sure and then pulls up the website and ADDS next day shipping. I ask him why, shipping was free from newegg. He said due to a policy change 3 weeks ago all price match must include next day shipping since "you getting the item today". Next days shipping was like 35$ so basically no price match. I went to the front to ask a manager if this was a real change in policy. He confirmed corporate had instructed them to add next day shipping to all price matches. Said they were losing money and he apologized. I left a full 1500$ buggy at the front and drove to Frys where they match micro enters processor/mobo price and all the other online prices. Yes I wasted time but I won't be back to MC.
The only deals they have now are the CPU/MB combos and other places will match. This new policy effecitivly ends their price match policy as 30+$ next day shipping on small items if not worth it. I guess even on a TV next day would be 200$ so unless it was a hot hot deal your better ordering online. Plus you would likely save the taxes. Sucks. MC lost a lifetime customer over 5$ price match today
Thanks for the update. Locked, since it isn't really a hot deal, but I'll leave it in here, since it's probably of general interest to those in this forum. -Admin DrPizza
