1. No I don't think so, but you can try. Might work for "Borderfree" stores.
2. Yes you can, just have to find a cashier that's nice.

To be correct: they only match the price if it is in Canadian currency and if it has Canadian warranty included. Not American warranty.

To PM online stores, they will most likely refuse. If you get lucky, they'll consider doing it and they will factor in the shipping costs associated with the item and any other fees you would incur if you didn't buy it at FS.

You can never PM American stores.

um... y's this in hot deals?

should be in OT....

anyway, to answer ur q's:

1. if u read FS/BB's online PM policy, they only match Canadian retailers instore/online...

2. yes, but unless competitor s/h is free, they'll factor in next day s/h that the competitor charges.... which usually "kills the deal"....

mods, plz move / lock.

quick question back when futureshop first opened I kind of recall that they would pm prices from the states. Was that true or am I imagining that.

Then again the dollar was much more stable back then.

This is sort of on topic and I don't intend to hijack this thread but.... what is FS's PM policy when it comes to instore purchases? I'm looking at a bookshelf stereo which is priced at 269.99 at FS. Audiotronic has it on sale for 248.88. What would the PM price be?

Thanks

Maybe if you're super lucky, they would do it. It's the manager's call. 95-99% chance they will just deny it though.
