Do Stores Price Match for Online Stores? Looking to Buy Perfume

than4 on 25/08/2010 - 08:19

I'm looking to buy some perfume for my sister-in-law for her birthday.
Using getprice.com.au I've seen the 75mL size for $79.95 at Bisaro's discount pharmacy and $90.50 at StrawberryNet. Both charge $9-$10 for delivery.
If I print out the price from these stores, how likely is it that a physical store will match it?
If not, has anyone used either of these stores and can comment on delivery times, reliability and authenticity of item?

Thanks in advance.

    I found www.fragrancex.com to be the cheapest when i was looking around….
    shipping was around 3 weeks all up.
    use coupon code 'school' to get 10% off, (and free shipping I think)

    my example….

    Kouros 100ml
    Bisaro $79 = including shipping
    Strawberrynet = around $72
    fragrance x = $58.59 delivered

    hth :)

    ps, I suspect you'd struggle to find a brick and mortar store to price match

    Thanks, but I am not that organised and need it within the next week or so.
    I ended up going with FeelingSexy.com.au.
    Original price $88.95
    discount $4.45
    shipping (3-5 days) $9.95
    Total $94.95
    They are Melbourne based and got a lot of good reviews on getprice.com so I felt they were the best.

    Thanks for your advice though. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

    Hi everyone

    Here is our experience with Fragrancex.com (for future reference)

    Fetch a Bargain decided to trial Fragrancex.com free shipping delivery time (which comes with no shipping tracking number)

    We purchased a Christian Dior Jadore 100ml (tester) product.
    Fragrancex.com states delivery is 7-12 business days for overseas delivery from USA

    • We placed an order on the 11th of November 2010
    • It was shipped on 15th November 2010
    • We still have not received this product, and the date of this forum post is 6th of December 2010

    We sent a email to Fragrancex asking what is the situation on our product, and their reply was

    “Thank you for your email and recent purchase from FragranceX.com. I do apologize that you have not received your order yet.

    Some packages can be held by customs for inspections and they are not always timely in notifying the recipient.

    Your package was sent by International airmail through the United States Postal Service and they do not provide a tracking service at this time.

      We received our order on Friday 4th March 2011 after ordering on 11th November 2010 via Fragrancex free shipping method

      The package had a postage sticker showing the cost of freight - $0.33
      Probably why it takes so long to deliver

    depends what store. Check their price matching policy.
