seeing products online able to get instore?

[thisjustanother]

im looking for a few items and when i go to the stores website like walmart, the price is $39. would i be able to get that price instore, even if the tag says a higher price?

[whitedeath]

nope.

target and walmart don't match there OWN online prices

[thisjustanother]

wait, why dont they match their own websites prices? why put the prices online in the first place if they dont even follow it instore

[whitedeath]

i know it is weird but that is how both stores are. they give the lame excuse that the online and b&m are diffrent

[Scorch]

wait, why dont they match their own websites prices? why put the prices online in the first place if they dont even follow it instore
they claim that they're two seperate entities. Who knows.

[thisjustanother]

wow... that is completly rediculous.

Well if you don't mind waiting...

You could buy from Walmart.com and tell them to ship to store and pick it up for the online price

stupid I know, but saves a bit of money

[thisjustanother]

is that how the instore pick up work? i thought you had to still pay online to do the instore pick up.

but the instore pick up is you order it online, go to the store, and pay there? huh, didnt know that, if thats true, thanks for telling me

[MrDubbs]

no, I didnt mean that

You pay online still, they ship it to the store (takes however many days) but you get it for the online price

Sometimes its worth the wait if the difference is that big

[thisjustanother]

ah, i get it. wouldnt it be better to just send it to your house instead of wasting gas and stuff to go to the store in the first place.

[MrDubbs]

You'd pay shipping then, which isn't much for some items..

I myself just live with 2 mins of Wal-Mart

One of the reasons Wal-Mart doesn't match their own website is because every store can price things however they want (for the most part). That's why nearly every Wal-Mart clearance that has been posted on this site has been YMMV.
