How Our Price Matching Works
At XYZ Store, we believe getting the best price shouldn't be complicated. Our price match policy guarantees you'll always get the lowest price on identical items found at other retailers.
When you spot a better deal elsewhere, simply request a price match while making your purchase. You'll need to provide proof of the lower competitor's price—just show us the ad or online listing. This applies to both local stores and major online retailers.
Price matching helps you shop confidently knowing you're getting the best value. We also offer price protection for post-purchase price adjustments if our prices drop within 14-30 days after your purchase.
We'll refund the difference, though some exclusions apply for promotional events and clearance items.
Eligible Products and Competitor Guidelines
While we endeavor to match prices on as many products as possible, certain guidelines guarantee a fair comparison for both you and our competitors.
Your price match request must be for identical items—same specific model number, size, and specifications—confirming we're truly comparing apples to apples.
We honor competitor prices from major retailers in your local area and select online purchases from established e-commerce sites.
However, our price-matching rules exclude third-party marketplace sellers, auction sites, and clearance items.
When submitting your request, you'll need to provide proof of lower price from eligible local retail competitors, such as an advertisement or website link.
These requirements aren't arbitrary—they're part of our pricing strategy to confirm we're making fair comparisons while still offering you competitive value.
Documentation Requirements and Submission Process
When you're ready to request a price match, you'll need proper documentation to back up your claim.
Bring proof of the competitor's lower price in the form of a physical ad, website printout, or screenshot that clearly shows identical specifications.
Save yourself time and frustration by bringing clear evidence of lower prices - ads, printouts, or screenshots showing identical product specifications.
Our price-match policy requires that you demonstrate an exact match in brand, model, and features.
You must submit documentation at purchase time or within our specified timeframe (14-30 days, depending on the item).
For online price match requests, use our dedicated claim form or contact customer service with your proof of purchase and competitor pricing details.
Exceptions and Special Considerations
Even with all your documentation perfectly prepared, certain limitations apply to our price matching policy. We don't match prices on items sold by third-party sellers, clearance sales, or limited-time promotions.
Unlike some retailers, our price adjustment service continues during Major Retail Events like Black Friday, giving you an advantage over competitors like Best Buy.
For eligibility, products must be identical items—same brand, model, and specifications. Small variations can disqualify your request.
Our post-purchase protection extends 30 days after purchase, exceeding Newegg's typical 14-day window.
Remember that our price matching applies to both in-store and online purchases, offering more flexibility than Walmart's in-store-only policy.
For specific questions about exceptions, our customer service team is ready to assist with your unique situation.
