PC World on line price vs in store

swebb

I'm sure someone put a post in about this, but I can't find it.

Basically there is a sat nav in PC World that is cheaper on line (and there is a discount code). Will this price be matched in store do you think? I might pop down today to get it if I stand a chance. If not, I'll have to wait a few days for the post.

Buy it online and then take the option to collect instore - save postage and you get the online price plus quidco.

This does work as I have done it before.

When I use the collect at store, I just pick one off the shelf then walk to the till with it. Saves the queue at customer services (why do they have that there anyway?)

I went in at lunchtime. They would price match the sat nav, but wouldn't do the 10% discount (I have an online code). That would have meant nearly £30 off, so I left it (I'm not going to wave £30). Got back home and ordered it online instead.

why not do what people suggested and order it online and collect in store before you went all the way to the store?

I couldn't apply the discount that way - discount option only came up with mail order. Store is only 3 miles away, so worth a shot.

Good one then as your discount was certainkly more than the postage. Did you go through Quidco aswell.

I started the original thread. Perhaps its time to ring watchdog and highlight their misleading advert?

swebb

Aha - it was you. Yes used Quidco as well. A very good price in the end.

Used Collect@Store for the first time today, the guy just went round the store collecting the items, took 20mins, could of done it myself in 10mins.

isn't the point supposed to be that they are supposed to put the items a side to save you having to wait/wander round the store
