Rebel Sport, online and in store price difference.

Leliiiizap on 26/04/2014 - 12:24

Just a heads up for anyone heading to Rebel Sport. The last 2 times I've bought shoes from them I have always checked online beforehand so that I know which pair I want, I take a picture of them and then head in store.
The pair I wanted today were advertised online on sale as $84.00. In store the price was $179.00, and an employee told me they were on sale for $120.00. I asked the employee about the online price and showed him the picture he said that's fine and that $84.00 will be the price.

Head to the checkout and the cashier said $90.00, I told her the online price was $84.00 and she changed it straight away, didn't have to show her a picture or say another word. I assume the employees know their is a price difference which is why she changed it straight away.

Happy gift card spending, hope this helps!

    I have often found Good Guys is the same, different prices online and instore.

    The instore prices are supposed to be automatically corrected at the checkouts to match the online-store's price, unless its an online-only special. Even so, most managers would authorise it to be the same as the online-store's one.

    Nice to see a retailer who matches their online price. Had a discussion with a Big W manager once about a different online price to their in-store price (not an online only deal) and he said they would happily match the price of their competitor's website but not their own.

    I wonder how the story would have gone if you suggested you saw the item for $40 online.

      They can probably check it themselves.

    bigW are the worst about things like this, outright refusing to match their own online prices.
    They even give you the whole "its a different division" excuse.

    Woolworths online price is dearer than in store.

    Wow, wouldn't this be classified as fraud, or at least false advertising, if Rebel online and Rebel stores are the same company?

      Nah, online-store price and brick & mortar store price don't have to be the same. Classic example: Coles
