TOPIC: Attention West Marine Shoppers

A little known fact about West Marine is that they will price match. I needed a quart of Interlux Brightsides Yellow for some Miss Isle touch up. Wanted it tonight. West Marine price $42.99 a quart....yyeeeooouuuwwwwwcccchhhh!!!! I asked for the price match for Jamestown Distributors...yes....$27.99 per quart plux tax. And I'm sure Jamestown isn't losing money at $27.99/quart. Thought you might like to know. Find the lowest price, and West Marine will match it.

Definitely good to know B, thanks! (Not like they're going to advertise that, huh)

But how much of a fight did they give you before they price matched?

I found this on their website:

We Won't Be Beat - Low Price Guarantee
We will gladly match any U.S. based competitor’s price on identical, in-stock items within 10 days of purchase.

How to price match
Step 1: Visit your local West Marine Store or call us at 1-800-BOATING (262-8464) and let your West Marine Associate know that you have a price match item to discuss.

Step 2: Provide the name of the nationally recognized U.S. retailer. Also, be prepared to provide the website address, item number and price of the item which shows the final merchandise price, or to provide a copy of the advertised item.

Step 3: Please wait while the Associate confirms the price and in-stock availability of the item.

Step 4: Once confirmed we will gladly match the competitor's price.

Please note that final merchandise price matching cannot be combined with other coupons or promotional offers. Prices, offers and our price matching policy are subject to change without notice. Price matching does not apply to online auctions, liquidation sales, refurbished or used merchandise, shipping charges, taxes, or promotions such as: mail-in offers, gift-with-purchase, financing offers, installation services, or typographical errors.

Gee, sure wish I would have known that a few years ago. Man!
