Amazon Dropping Post-Order Price Guarantee Effective Sept 1st
It appears that someone received an e-mail when requesting a refund recently with the following message.
"Thank you for contacting us to take advantage of our Post-Order Price Guarantee. I've confirmed that we now offer a greater discount on xxxxx than at the time you placed your order.
Since your purchase shipped within the past 30 days, I've requested a refund of $x.xx to the original payment method used for your order. This amount reflects the difference between the price you were originally charged for the item and the current price offered by Amazon.com. This refund should be processed in the next few days.
Only orders placed before September 1, 2008 are eligible for a price difference refund under the Post-Order Price Guarantee policy. As of September 1, 2008 we are no longer offering discounts if prices change on our website after you make a purchase."
I wanted to check this out if it was true. Searched for price guarantee on Amazon and found this page at http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cus...eId=468502. Note that the section where the Post-Order Price Guarantee verbiage should have been is now missing. I will be more cautious of purchasing items from Amazon since their 30-day price guarantee was a major factor in my purchasing decision. My B&M stores have 15 to 90-day return policies depending on the store and item purchased. Plus the price of the same item fluctuates very often, sometimes even on the same day.

"Tickling: it's not a laughing matter" 
The page isn't on the website anymore 
I just realized that since they didn't "post-order guarantee being killed sept.1st" clause.. I might actually be able to do it again since "If you see another price change on our website for an item in your order within 30 days from the shipment date"..
