Amazon - do they have a price drop guarantee?

Bill Carr · 28-10-2004, 08:48

If you buy something on Amazon UK, and the price drops a couple of weeks later, do they give you the difference or is it just hard cheese? (I suspect I know the answer...) The reason I ask is that the other week I bought LOTR:TTT CE (with Gollum statue) for the best part of 30 notes, and last night I discovered they'd lowered the price to £19.97

They would drop it if hadn't been dispatched -but if you've already got it then you're out of luck.

Now get the hell off my drive.

I have bought stuff from them in the past and I have had money refunded to me if the item has dropped price, although on a DVD this is usually only a pound or two.

Yeah the same as happened with me a few times, generally with DVDs that i've pre-ordered.

Thanks for the advice guys (and apologies for not posting an affilate link). I've emailed them asking for the difference

It'll be interesting to see what they say.

.com will refund the difference - I always just ask if I need to send the item back and re-order a new one to get the cheaper price - they always come back offering a refund

Incorrect as mentioned. They refund for drops up to 30 days. I have emailed them once and they did the refund within a week. Another time, they emailed me to tell me the price had dropped and they had refunded the difference without any prompting. Which is why I use them again and again and rate them the best etailer on the web.
