Wickes price guarantee

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has claimed for this and how they got on?

I've read the page but its a tad vague...http://www.wickes.co.uk/customer-services/terms+conditions/pcat/terms/

They are selling something for £45 and another company just dwon the road are selling it for 40. Already bought and use the item so cant return ( 5 days ago purchased ) but would like the 5.50 if poss :-)

Thanks,

CR

    Not sure about the Wickes scheme but most "price Match" schemes require proof of the offer and for the item to be in stock and available.

    Certain schemes will also state that the terms and conditions e.g. warranty, refund policy etc must match theirs.

    IME they (retailers generally) will often try to dodge the claim if possible. If you have the receipt and details of the competitor offer then try them.

    Not your circumstances but I went into Wickes to buy a lintel and told them that I could get it from another local supplier for a few pounds less. Wickes phoned the competitor and then dropped their price for the lintel.
    Forgotten but not gone.
