Ask yourself this -
If a company can offer
a better price now why were they trying to overcharge you in
the first place?
Price matching is a cynical attempt to
grab your custom after being caught overcharging.
What may appear as a great deal begins
with a slippery retailer trying to get as much out of your pocket as
possible. This scam works well for many unscrupulous traders who
depend on your trusting nature and eye for a bargain. The inference
of a price promise is "...we promise to be the cheapest." But
unless you can be bothered to shop about to prove otherwise you
simply go ahead and make your purchase, comfortable in the knowledge
that you have bought from 'the good guys'. That is of course unless
you have found the goods elsewhere at a lower price - then
the promise gives the trader a second chance to grab your cash!
Price promises need not exist.
If you can find the goods cheaper elsewhere then so can each and
every other retailer. The fact is they can't be bothered. It's much
easier to let you do all the work. A price
promise is rather like a 'Get out of Jail card' that is supposed to
excuse the attempt at overcharging and provide a second opportunity
to make a sale.
Price promises are offered by chancers.
They are prepared to take the chance that you won't notice. They don't care to bring to value and great service, they just want
your money - and as much of it as they can manage. The laugh is,
they expect you to do all the legwork checking prices then report
back to them and still hand over your money. Do you really want to
play this outrageous game?
If you take up a price promise don't
lose sight of who you're dealing with !
...people who
you caught trying to over-charge you!
If none of this bothers you take just
a moment to consider this. If the pre-sales care was questionable
what sort of after sales service might you expect?
Our advice is this:
-
Buy from a company who offer a
clear and honest price structure. They will already know what to
charge if being the cheapest really matters to them.
-
Avoid the cynical efforts of
'Price Promisers' - they could have offered you a better
price all along and are now laughing up their sleeves that you've
come back and
still want to throw money at them!
-
Being the cheapest does not make a
company the best. Excellent service has a cost element which is
often sacrificed in the chase to save a couple of pounds.
-
Only buy from companies who
specialise in the goods they sell. When, for example, has AMAZON
been expert in everything?? There are many companies around now
who want to dabble in everything. If you report a technical problem to
such a company can you expect to receive a technical response?
On everything and anything??? Do you honestly think they will know what you are on about
or will you spend an hour trying to get past the switchboard?? These outfits pile it high and sell it cheap
- that's all they do.
-
Don't entertain any trader that
relies on Price Promising to do business. Apart from the
shady nature of the practice supporting the use of such tactics
simply undermines the genuine and honest businesses that rely on
your custom. Loose these and goodness knows what shape the
marketplace will be in!

want to take the gamble? |
