B and Q - refunds on sale items?

thehullram

First time poster so please be nice!!!

I've just spent £1200 on paving slabs in the last 3 weeks from B and Q and yesterday they have reduced the price by 15%. I know some companies have deals in place where if you buy an item and it's reduced you can claim the difference. Any idea if B and Q do it?

Thanks

Not sure if they do.

Why not buy them again at the sale price and then take them back for a refund using your original receipt?

just go in and speak to a manager nicely and explain you could buy and refund etc but its too much hassle....its worth a shot. BUt bare in mind they are WELL within their rights to say NO and saying yes will loose them money (not that they care!) and would be a gesture of good will

we had this hassle in debenhams recently... missus bought a £100 dress, only to find the same evening that a sale started the following day for 20% off.

a very rude lady at the tills told us it was tough luck and we should have known about their sale because it was well publicised (having sky+ we dont watch adverts! lol)

I said that unless she would credit the diference then we would just re-purchase and then immediately return on the other receipt. she said that was ok!

SO, went and got the dress, back to the till, paid for the dress, smiled nicely at her.

she said "receipts in the bag" and handed it me back, to which i said "i'd like to return this dress please" and she said "ok course, is there anything wrong with it". Grrrrrrr oh well, the hassle we went through for 20 quid!

amazon work like that. buy anything from them, and if the price reduces within a month they will pay the difference (you have to keep an eye on the product though, its up to you to say).

Did it recently bought a camcorder for £570, and a week later it dropped by £30, emailed them and within an hour got the refund!
