Masters Price match Surprise

Ljimmej on 05/08/2014 - 10:15

I just thought I would mention my price match experience with Masters.

Fridge died on Friday and starting looking for a new fridge on the weekend. Had a good look around and could not really find much in the way of a bargain. I had come to terms with having to buy a fridge at a non bargain price until I walked into an RT Edwards store. They had 17.5% off all fridges. Their sales staff where no existent so I took a photo of the price tag and went to JB Hifi Home and they said they could only price match it as it was below cost. Then I went to masters and then took 10% off the reduced price, no questions asked. In fact I think the lady was really happy for me to pick up the bargain. Maybe they don't have commissions?

In the end I got this fridge
https://www.masters.com.au/product/100399442/westinghouse-61…

Which is $1398 on masters website for $960.

So moral of the story for me is that I will be buying more of my appliances at Masters and taking full advantage of their price matching policy.

    Nice one. :)

    Hope you used a wish card from the Entertainment Book to save another 5%. :)

      Heh - no. Didn't know that one.

    Masters are owned by Woolworths, I'd be surprised if the sales staff received commission. Pretty good price though, nice find!

    Staff certainly don't take commission, so following the company policy and making someone happy is probably what made that lady happy to serve u.

    Well done, but just FYI, Masters policy is to price beat 10% but not on appliances. Appliances they say they only price match. So you did get lucky but well done on doing so.

      I wondered this but I could not find it in their policy. There was a sign as big as my house behind the appliance section with there 10% price beat policy.

    I recently saw a Wagner Spray unit on sale at Masters for $419 and I knew that was a great price compared to tool shops. ( normal price is over $600) My son said to see if Bunnings would price match. To my surprise, not only were they happy to price match…they took the price down to $379 due to beating Masters by 10% !!!! Bargain !!! I will be playing them off each other in future.

    I get the feeling Masters will do anything to make sure you don't go to Bunnings again. So many places where they open a store literally next door!

    Wow….really great price. I am also in the market for a new fridge but wanting the Westinghouse WSE7000WF - 700L Side By Side. Have managed to get the price down to $1640 but think there is still a bit of room to move on that price. Hoping an Oz bargainer can help me find a better price. Brisbane. Cheers all.

      At the time this one was on special at RT Edwards, but it way to big for my house…

      Not sure if you've already purchased but I bought a washing machine from Appliances Online and was very impressed with their level of service (the one time I was sick at home they were able to deliver on the same day) and prices.

      Worth a shot giving them a call and asking about price matching/discounts?

      Let me know how you go!

        Lol my bad. Just saw your comment below!

  • Sober Thoughts on 11/08/2014 - 19:38

    Managed to get a decent deal today from The Good Guys. $1599 with free delivery & installation plus store promo of $200 store credit. Happy with the deal!
