ive seen a nice panasonic tv in john lewis for £479 with a 5 year warrenty, however in dixons its £429.99 but without the 5 year warrenty.

Is there any room for hagglig in john lewis to price match?

Probably too late for you now - but so long as the TV is at the lower price instore @ Dixons (JL will not match internet prices) - JL will lower their price and you also get the bonus of the 5 year warranty!

A month ago I went to the electrical department of the John Lewis Store in Solihull West Midlands ready to get a discount - after finding the item I required I asked what discount I would get for cash and was refused point blank "I'm not allowed to give any discount its not allowed" - I queried this as the employees are 'partners' in this private ltd co but he confirmed they do not do this. My question is having seen your website saying some one got £200 off a stove at John Lewis - is it that haggling is at the discretion of each individual store or department? If anyone knows this would be helpful.

The original "haggle" mentioned was a price match and I suspect this was before we introduced a stricter price match policy. If you read again he was told that JL were actually losing money by giving it to him.

As JLs prices are already the cheapest around we cannot offer anymore discount and do not have the authority to do this. We will and can however price match and knock 10% off display items. You may get 20% on a large item under £200 if its display and a deleted line under managers discretion.
