Linky to Amazon Page

Amazon.com's Tools & Hardware store is committed to offering you the best possible prices on tools and equipment. We will not be undersold. If you find a better price elsewhere, we will match that price and beat it by 10% of the difference. (Applies only to products sold by Amazon.com. Does not apply to products sold by third-party merchants and other sellers through the Amazon.com site.) Before you call, please have the following ready:<a name="Beforeyoucallpleasehavethefollowingready">
  1. The item and model number (identical brand and model number to the one we carry at Amazon.com)
  2. Price (including shipping charges, taxes, gift certificates)
  3. Store name, location, and phone number
  4. Important: Price match must occur before purchase.
Now that you're ready, contact one of our customer service representatives at (800) 358-3096, Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Central Time and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time.


Restrictions
The product must:

  • Be an exact make and model of the one carried at Amazon.com.
  • Be new (not refurbished or reconditioned) and in its original packaging with all of its accessories.
  • Be in stock with the discount price currently advertised.
  • Not be a closeout or clearance item (at Amazon.com or the third party's store).
  • Price matching applies to most tools or equipment sold and fulfilled by Amazon.com's Tools & Hardware store and does not apply to other products or sellers at Amazon.com.
  • Price-match items cannot be gift-wrapped.
  • The price considered will be the total price (including shipping charges, taxes, gift certificates, etc.).
  • Only tools and equipment that are distributed by Amazon.com's Tools & Hardware store will be price matched--please call to see if your request qualifies.
  • Price matching does not apply to membership clubs or auction sites.
  • Amazon.com's Tools & Hardware store cannot match prices at other Web sites, unless the company also has a brick-and-mortar store or a catalog business.
  • Amazon.com's Tools & Hardware store is not able to price match products in Amazon.com Auctions and zShops.
  • Price-match products are not eligible for special offers or discounts.
  • Amazon.com's Tools & Hardware price match guarantee cannot be combined with Amazon.com online gift certificates.
  • Typographical errors will not be matched.
  • At this time, price matching will only be honored for stores in the United States.
  • Offer limited to a maximum of one price match per item.
  • Offer limited to stock on hand.
  • All price matching is at the discretion of Amazon.com's Tools & Hardware store and is subject to change at any time.
Just thought I would bring this to everyone's attention. Haven't read the full fineprint to offer any insight.

The Tools & Hardware store has had 110% price matching for quite a while now.

Here's a deal I posted back in 2003, that not only took advantage of the 110% PM, but also had them honor a Lowes 10% coupon. smile.gif

Good tip, though it seems to me that Amazon.com always has the lowest prices, especially when they have sales.

Great! I did not know they allow PMs. So was a little excited. If you feel that this is a repost then feel free to move it or purge it.

I am considering moving this post to Deal Discussion, since it doesn't mention a specific deal.
Would that be ok with you?

These two exclusions for one exclude Sams Club and CostCo and secondly requires B&M location.

I guess you need to find some smaller chains for price matching, can't believe that Home Depot or Loewes run specials often that beat Amazon. I might be wrong of course smile.gif

How do gift certificates come into it?

They should have nothing to do with it. Gift cards and gift certificates are legal tender and not a reduction in cost.
