Walmart Online Price Match Policy Clarifications and Rant Video from Paul

I Heart the Mart.com helped break the news last week that Walmart was going to start pricing matching online retailers like Amazon. This is a permanent policy not just for the holidays and YES I did confirm this with the Walmart Director Of Communications this morning. I put some information out there that was designed to help educate my readers and shoppers so they cold have a better shopping experience. The information was the Front End (Cashier & CSM) Aid to help them serve the customer when price matching online prices. It was not necessarily intended for the public but it wasn’t confidential so I gave you guys the info. (I will have to think twice next time) I never dreamed that people would take it to the low levels that they have. The deal below is not a legit price match deal.

See the Walmart Online Price Matching Policy Information HERE.

The biggest problem is coming from people price matching Amazon Deals. There are people trying to and some successfully price matching deals like $1.00 Tide with crazy high shipping costs. YES! The policy states that they will match Amazon Marketplace deals. YES, it states that they will even match $.01 deals. Understand that it has to meet their Price Match criteria in the first place AND that they specify limits.

Here are the two questions that are causing the most issues. Understand that these are separate questions and don’t necessarily relate to each both. Walmart often views things as completely separate like the price match and the coupon policy.

Q: When verifying the listed price of the “online item”, does the price being verified need to include the shipping price/fee?

A: No, it is the price of the item only.

Q. Does Walmart match online 3rd Party or Marketplace sellers?

A. Yes. We will match 3rd Party and Marketplace pricing but will limit quantities to normal retail purchases or one per customer or household. The Store Manager has the final decision for matching an online price.

Q. Does Walmart match online competitor pricing that is significantly below normal retail
pricing, for example, $0.01 items for sale on 3rd Party or Marketplace retailer sites?

A. Yes. However, per policy we will limit quantities to normal retail purchases or one per
customer or household.

The biggest rule to understand is that Walmart doesn’t match Gimmick pricing or pricing that can’t be determined independent of other charges. This allows them to exclude these items. I really don’t want Online Price Matching because I think it is a great tool. The rule of thumb to go by is that Walmart allows you to buy any items that they carry for the exact same price at their store or online. This is to help you save time and money.

Elf on the Shelf or Hide & Hug Olaf ?!?! They are both AWESOME!!!

Nov 16 by Paul Ivanovsky Leave a Comment

One of our favorite Christmas traditions is The Elf on the Shelf, some elves are naughty and some our nice. Ours is usually good but he sure can be mischievous. You can order yours on Amazon for only $29.95 and start your own family tradition.

You can have a ton of fun with your elf. Some nights ours is spiritual and others he hold “Elf Fight Club” or gets kids noses with washable marker, you can guess which parent has elf supervision on which nights.

The newest version that has hit the shelves is Hide and Hug Olaf from Frozen. Obviously, he loves warm hugs and SUMMMMERR!!!! Do you already have an Elf on the Shelf, if not which one are you going to do with your kids?

These are some of my favorite Elf on the Shelf memories from our Elf “Chocolate Buddy”! I would love to see yours!

Year after year, children and adults alike are baffled by the mystery of how Santa really knows who’s been naughty or nice. After much urging by the elves and Mrs. Claus, Santa has allowed his biggest secret to be revealed in The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition. At the start of each Christmas season, the Elf appears to serve as Santa’s eyes and ears, traveling back to the North Pole each and every night to make a detailed report of the day’s activities. This keepsake gift set includes a light skin, blue eyed boy North Pole pixie scout elf and a hardbound watercolor picture book. Children can register their elf online to receive an official adoption certificate and a special letter from Santa.

Product Features

A timeless Christmas classic the whole family fan enjoy
The Elf on the Shelf comes in light skin and dark skin boy and girl scout elves
#1 national bestseller with over 2.5 million copies sold
Touted as “the best thing since The Night before Christmas”
A Scout Elf skirt is available, sold separately
