PC World Price match instore with online retailers

[the insaan]

PC World UK Computer Superstore - Buy cheap computers, laptops, desktop PCs, printers, LCD TVs, sat nav, digital cameras and more..

PC World are offering a price match scheme that is completely unlike the sort of service I'd expect from DSG. Basically Point of Sale in their store states they will price match with high street retailers within 30 miles of the store and with online retailers that are on the Hitwise top 10.

If you ask about this offer instore the chances are most staff will look at you blankly. It took me 20 minutes on their "helpline" to drag confirmation of this offer out of them and for them to confirmm it with the store manager.

Although I didn't make note of a complete list (some stores mentioned were known for being pricey), I was shocked that they will price match instore with these online shops.

Dabs

Misco

Dixons online.

Prices need to include VAT and delivery and the item needs to be in stock, but when I presented the printout of the price (some £35 saving on a £149.99 ticket item) there was no dispute.

I noticed that Amazon was excluded from a price match, just in case you were wondering.

Sweet! We won't have to be waiting for delivery of PC parts now, we can just go to PC World (as long as they stock them).

Trouble is, will it apply to OEM products or Generic/Own Brand ones?

i guess it depends on the spotty assistant that deals with you, you tell me how many of them are actually clued up on computers ??

I love going in there just to take the **** out of the sales staff
