It was a snap. Took a couple seconds to find the link (I’d used the customer service stuff before so I knew how to get there), and another couple seconds to type a sentence about the price drop. Hit send, and boom.

Payment was processed this morning, btw.

Interesting, Kevin. Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to find and fill out the web form? It’s likely a faster process than my old school phone call way of handling things. But I didn’t get any bonus copy/paste action in my follow up emails.

Thanks for the reminder! Scored a $10 credit (on the Rocky DVD Boxed Set) this morning using the web form on the site.

Got a prompt email response saying I get my money back, but see if you can decipher this part, which came after a couple paragraphs about my $10 credit being awarded:

“Further, I’ve verified that the $ price you are referring to is actually offered by another seller, . Because Amazon.com does not have a price matching policy, we cannot match the price offered by another seller on our website.”

Looks like an orphan of some sloppy copy/paste action, along with an empty form field.

Great article Bob. I have always wondered if Amazon did price matching. I just bought some Audio Technica noise canceling headphones on Amazon. I was bummed to see they had gone up $10 to $125, but I bought them anyway. Here's hoping they drop again. Thanks for including contact info as well.
