Amazon best price policy?

Guys sorry if this has been asked before - I receive my item from Amazon on Monday only to find that the price of the same item in Amazon is now cheaper (difference is quite significant).

Should I return and repurchase (less ideal obviously), or can I talk to CS and they will refund the difference?

Does anyone has similar experience? Thanks!

    There was also another thread, with identical issue, but the item was sold by a 3rd party not by Amazon themselves.

    If you bought from Amazon (as opposed to 3rd party) you can start a chat with their customer rep and test their generosity, but if you've bought from a third party seller you can reasonable expect 'no' as an answer

    • Thanks for your reply.

      The scenario from your link isn't the same, so I assume the answer is no?

      Having said that since Amazon has a very generous return policy (besides one of the reason for returning is there's better price) I'm obliged to return and repurchase if there isn't a better or easier way of doing this….

    • Thanks. It's from Amazon direct and not 3rd party.

    can I talk to CS and they will refund the difference?

    might be a good idea tbh

  • or can I talk to CS and they will refund the difference?

    No you're not allowed to contact customer service. They're the last people on earth who you should ask, a random kid on the street can answer your question and have more power to do anything than CS. How dare you even mention CS.

    This…. /thread

  • Mate….. Just call them. Do it NOW. The time it took to write this thread you would have your answer.

  • If you return in for a reason that is your fault (e.g. don't want it) then you'll have to pay the postage.

    I've rung amazon under this exact circumstance and had them throw me a gift voucher for the difference, I've also done it and had them say they don't price guarantee or price match… so it really depends on the rep you get.
