i know the process, im just saying that maybe if people respected the buyers more then companies woudnt waste so much money sending products back and forth from each other or re-printing all kinds of sale fliers monthly.
again... just an idea/concept
so, why cant they do the same deal with other stores? FS and BB will have this same sale, that is almost a given. ESPECIALLY if there is not a HUGE demand after OS 2 is released02-03-12 01:17 PMLike 0 -

BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet | Tablets | TELUS Mobility02-03-12 01:21 PMLike 0 - This morning I went to a local Telus store here in Vernon and got them to print off their web add. Took it to Future Shop and they price matched Telus! So I got me a brand spanking new 32g for the awesome price of $149.xx + HST. Being an early adopter of an original 16g, this is soooooo nice.

People are getting matches at SOME wal-marts and FS's but SOME are saying it is impossible... HOW DOES THAT WORK?02-03-12 01:23 PMLike 0 - It's negotiated between the buyers and the supplier. Sometimes these are exclusive markdowns. We had ours at $199 for a month after FS/BB was back at full price.
Samsung reimbursed all costs to the retailers so there was no out of pocket for the return, I don't know what Samsung did with them after that. With the Touchpads, we had to send back the demos which were refurbed and sold through HP.

No offense but I don't know how much more clearly I can explain this for you. I don't mean that in a bad way.
Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk02-03-12 01:24 PMLike 0 - So From the TELUS website they have listed other retailers that I can buy TELUS products:
Best Buy
Blacks
Future Shop
Wal-Mart
Staples
Mobile shop
Cellular point
Now being an authorized reseller of TELUS would they not have to sell at that price listed on the TELUS's website?02-03-12 01:25 PMLike 0 - Think of it this way... Every successful pricematch is another fired employee for not following policy. But, you got a good price, so what does someone else's job matter?02-03-12 01:28 PMLike 0
- No. They are not corporate Telus. They are dealers only and are not obligated to match price. I mean, FS sells Bell but they often have different promotions than corporate Bell. There are two different divisions and two different sales channels.

Maybe BB and FS and Walmart should be negotiating with Rim faster so they can match what is currently being offered.02-03-12 01:32 PMLike 0
- Because the employee isn't properly trained and will get a reprimand. I used to have to coach out those misapplied price matches when I was with FS/BB. The employee broke the rules. That's how they got the price match.

Im not looking to get anyone fired, im looking to help people save money.
(in fact i actually had a girl from walmart tell me that the other employee at her store did a price match but she was told not to so she suggested that i dont both going to that walmart... i could have easily went there and asked to speak to the male employee and got the discount)

And honestly I'm pretty disgusted that you think someone being reprimanded or potentially fired is okay because you 'want to save people money'. The rules have been explained. If someone is okay with trying to take advantage of an employee knowing that they shouldn't be getting the price match, that says more about the person than the employee.

- it is clear, but the actions of employees are not... do they not need clearance from a manager? when i went to get a $10 discount on a computer monitor at FS it took 45 minutes bc 2 different managers needed to come in and put in a code...
THATS the exact same thing i used and i even said that BLACKS is honouring it... they said NO! lol
I really hope he doesn't lose his job, that is clearly not right.02-03-12 01:46 PMLike 0 - Blacks is owned by Telus. FS/BB, Walmart etc are not.

WOW! please do not put words in my mouth! i NEVER said i want to get people fired. I said I WILL NOT get people fired!
i DO NOT want people to get fired, i just want to find a way where people SAVE money WITHOUT people getting fired.
For example, if one of us finds the reason some of these stores are offering the PM (and it is a legal/fair one) then everyone can get the price match... but if we just keep calling stores and hoping for an employee to slip up then i dont believe that is fair... i even said that in the post you quoted...
Me saving $50 is NEVER worth someone losing the potential to make thousands... NEVER!02-03-12 01:55 PMLike 0 -

- Okay, to clarify I'm pretty disgusted with this remark, which to me reads as taking advantage of an employees lack of training and it being okay because if they don't know the price match policy they shouldn't be working so it's a-ok to take advantage of that.

when the manager deals with it it is their responsibility, and so on.
I work in an organization where the part-time staff are not allowed to handle any money, but some do, i do exactly as i have said (as i was told), if people have a problem with me doing my job then it is THEIR problem... but if i do something to make them happy and it is against what i was told then it is MY problem.
Im sorry if there is any confusion... but i dont see how that statement can be offensive if the condition of employment (im assuming) clearly states that if you are not a adequate employee you will be let go.02-03-12 02:11 PMLike 0 -
Just called BB online customer service and they said that each store can price match what they see fit (meaning no one should get in trouble for doing so, but i would still suggest talking to a manager to verify)
Bestbuy will price match the blacks sale if you find one in store...again, this stipulation baffles my mind. Why would i go to ANOTHER store to get a sale price of THE FIRST STORE if there was still stock available (they are saying they are ok with the price but i need to find one at Blacks for them to give me the same deal)?Last edited by FSeverino; 02-03-12 at 02:24 PM.
