getting difference in money paid

Hi
I wanted to ask if anyone knew if I was entitled to reclaim the difference in the money I paid for an item as the retailer has reduced the price the day after i bought it. I got a tefal actifryer from amazon for £114.99 and the day after I received it it was reduced to £107, I asked them if I could have the difference refunded but they said "no" does anyone know if this is right or not? Many thanks

    Amazon are right. They don't have to give you a refund.

    Amazon did do a price promise whereby you could have got refunded the difference but that eneded when they lowered their SuperSaver delivery from £15 to £5.

    If the price went up by £10 would you contact them and ask to pay the extra money?

    Sadly you have no right to claim :( It is just pure bad luck on your part that the price was reduced.

  • Nor do they ask you to pay the difference if it goes up in price
  • Depends when you bought it - they got rid of the price promise on the 1st September 08.
  • Many thanks for your help

    Did they get rid of their price promise? I didn't know that. Thanks.
