Price Matching and Extras with digiDirect

I ordered myself a Sony FX30 camera from digiDirect, price matched it with VideoPro to get the price down to $2371 and was factoring in getting the extra stuff that comes with it (the page said it comes with an Anker Powerbank + 80gb CFexpress card).

When it arrived, the extras weren't with it, so I contacted them and got the response "Because you price matched it, you don't get any of the extras" and they linked their T&C which says the following:
"Price match guarantees may have certain exclusions and limitations which include:
Offers which include cash back, bonus, bulk purchase, quantity limits or packages."

Am I wrong in thinking that they should have mentioned that to me when I applied for the price match? I wouldn't have ordered it if that was the case :|
I'm worried now the $200 cashback through Sony won't go through either (that one should be okay as it's from Sony and not digiDirect).

Also in contacting their support, they never respond to emails. I had to chase it up via the online chat and get them to look up the ticket number and then respond (and only got one line answers)

Anyway, just whinging. The camera is good though. I don't think I'll be buying anything else from digiDirect again.

    You probably should have confirmed at purchase. Never assume anything with retailers as customer support is always secondary these days.

    DigiDirect took 5 days to get a click and collect ready for me, then I received multiple emails that it's ready to collect after I had already picked it up. Add their data breach months later that they still haven't informed me about, so needless to say I've been avoiding them ever since.

    Cashback from Sony should be fine. I have not found price matching to affect eligibility on previous purchases.

    I am not surprised to hear your story, every time I have requested a price match from them I have been disappointed as they have refused to match really good deals from other Australian sellers.

  • Are you sure its local stock with local warranty ?

    • Yeah, that part I'm okay about at least…

    DigiDirect was selling for Sony FX30 for $X + free Anker Powerbank + 80gb CFexpress card.

    VideoPro selling Sony FX30 for $X-n.

    The only way they're equivalent, which is usually the requirement for a price match, is if the free stuff is not included.
