12/31/2007 Amazon.com's Price Drop Policy I love Amazon.com. It almost always has the best prices, carries pretty much any item I can want, especially when it comes to DVDs and CDs, doesn't charge tax, and ships purchases over $25 for free. Thanks to an article at Lifehacker, a while back I got to liking Amazon for yet another reason. If you buy anything at Amazon.com and they lower the price on that item within 30 days after your purchase, they'll refund you the difference in price. I don't know of too many stores that do that. In fact, I don't know if I can think of any stores that do that besides Amazon. I've yet to have an opportunity to test this policy myself, but it certainly is reassuring knowing that you can buy any item confident that they won't lower the price just days later and you'll be stuck paying the higher price. Unfortunately (or, perhaps fortunately for Amazon), not many people seem to know about this great policy. I know that I've tried to mention this to everyone when the topic of buying things online comes up in conversation, but people are still generally unaware of this fact. With any luck, this post and others like it will help make people more aware of the potential savings to be had, especially given how many purchases people made recently at Amazon for their holiday gifts. For the complete guide on how to use this policy to your advantage, you should read this wonderful article that Lifehacker pointed to in its article on the subject. Now go get some of your hard-earned money back.TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://edkopp4.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1986454F36BF7ABF!3983.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
