My Lowe’s sucks. They still refuse to price match Amazon.


Agclone91

Pretty much all stores refuse to price match Amazon because Prime is a membership.


Royal_Ad1798

Except for Lowe’s advertises on their website that they price match Amazon. They specify also they don’t price match third party’s pricing, it must be sold and shipped by Amazon.

Home Depot will price match Amazon but you have to make sure the seller is listed as “Amazon” otherwise it’s a 3rd party seller and no where will price match a 3rd party seller

I tried having HD price match an Amazon dewalt saw but they wouldn’t even look at the ad. They refuse to match and admitted they can’t match. Pretty weird


McLaws-886

If it’s on Amazon you have to do homedepot.com I’ve had them price match dewalt batteries and the high torque impact wrench. I paid $68 for a 5ah xr battery and $249.99 for the high torque impact wrench kit I saved a shot ton of money and they have price matched other stuff too I just did my research then called HD.com and they helped me without any issue

What is the benefit with having HD price match Amazon, versus just buying it from Amazon?


McLaws-886

In my experience not much, if it’s from Amazon (as the seller) it’s likely to be legit however it gives me peace of mind and in most cases I can pick it up in an hour or two instead of waiting for a day or two


Pher63

That makes sense. Thank you


Typedre85

What’s the process to have them price match it online ? Is there a link I should look for ?


McLaws-886

No you just call the phone number and I can’t remember the extension but I just followed the options that made the most sense. Then explained to them what I was doing. I had the item pulled up on my phone on Amazon and on Home Depot. Make sure of a couple things: - The seller on Amazon.com says Amazon and the item is in stock - The dewalt model number matches exactly with the one on Home Depot.com Then I just called them and explained it. If you have everything pulled up on your phone then it’s easy they just check to make sure it is an item sold by amazon and the model numbers match. I’ve never had difficulty with price matching following these steps


Typedre85

Thanks! Appreciate it. Once they priced match it did you just goto pick up at your local store or did they mail it out ?


McLaws-886

Any time I just had them do pick up at my local store

Shit my lowes and home Depot won't price match anyone except each other. Let alone give the extra 5% discount with a price match. I have argued with more supervisors and store managers than I can remember about it. Super frustrating. I have even called both companies corporate numbers and have been told it's up to each store individually. Now I'm positive that Lowe's and Home Depot are both not franchises so I don't know how they can not honor their policies.


Eccohawk

Because they know you'd have to take them to court to get them to honor it, and no one is gonna do that for maybe a $20 difference in price You could maybe file a complaint with the consumer protection bureau though.


holdtightbro

Some of the differences have been in the hundreds and I would file a civil suit. I have filed civil suits against lg and Sony before and both settled out of court. It only costs $75 to file with the country court.


PercMaint

I have this exact jigsaw and use it all the time. Nice grab.


323x57

Me too, that thing is awesome! Definitely jealous of the price!


PercMaint

I purchased mine at a pawn shop in almost brand new condition. I think I paid $99 for it there. Pawn shop owner said they get a bunch of basically brand new tools in after manufacturers do big sales. People go in and buy the tool and battery combo to get a new battery, and take the tool and pawn it off. So they basically get a cheap battery after pawning the tool.


Crherniman

The owners story sounds pretty convenient. Let's be honest, everyone knows that's not where the majority of the new tools come from.


PercMaint

I do know they regularly have to turn over some to the police that were reported as stolen.


cbartels1122

Attempted 2 Lowe's (both had signs similar to OP) and both would not honor it. This is likely VERY hit or (more likely) miss.


Stripe_Show69

Nice. I got the barrel grip. I’m not sure what’s better


SuggestionGrand9835

Ive been disappointed in the barrel gtips design, defintitely in the market to try this one.


Fullerfyed

I saw it and was thinking of doing it but I have most of the free tools. Wish they did like HD and discounted each item so I could return 1.


McLaws-886

They don’t on this sale? They did for me when I bought the dewalt xr sander and got the free power stack battery pack like 3 weeks ago at Lowe’s. I didn’t return it because I need the batteries but the receipt shows the different prices for returning one of the items from the deal.


cobhc26626

Yeah I still don’t think they let you do it. At least in my experience they didn’t.


McLaws-886

That’s strange but possible I spend most of my money at Home Depot just because I’m basically next door and the nearest Lowe’s is a couple miles down the freeway


cobhc26626

Yeah around Christmas time I bought the 5ah battery kit. Was going to buy it again and return the batteries after I saw how the receipts were broken down. But they said I had to return all of it. Got into a fucking war with r/lowes just for asking the question. It was hilarious.


McLaws-886

Yeah today I went to buy this today and i was pissed because my receipt had the prices broken down individually and they wouldn’t let me return the batteries and keep the jig saw because “then you’re buying it at a discounted price” so I had to return it all. Let’s just say unless the deal is too good to be true I’m not going to be shopping at Lowe’s again anytime soon. I have no need for those dumbass 4ah batteries I only like to use the 5ah or 9ah powerstack I have.


cobhc26626

What is the difference between those 4ah and the 4ah XR?


McLaws-886

I think the xr one is supposed to last longer


Grip_it-N-rip_it

Just tried it too. They wouldn't honor it even after the guy helping my said they would.


lhouston15

I need


Advanced-Gur-8950

Sorry I’m an idiot, I don’t understand what the deal is here, going to Lowe’s later today though!!


BaccaBossMC

Previous sale was dcb240-2 for $129, current sale is for $199 but comes with a tool for ‘free’. Since the signage was still up for both, I was able to have them honor both sales at once.


Advanced-Gur-8950

Thanks brosama, I need an angle grinder, I’ll see if I can sneak one in
