I talked to a customer service rep tonight about the 7500 watt dual fuel generator which sells at Camping world for $949.00 on sale.
I can get the same generator at Cabelas for 899.
She refused to price match, so Cabelas will get a 900 dollar sale which would have otherwise gone to Camping World.
In the store last weekend, I was thinking about picking up a Sewer Solution, as I had one a few years back with a prior 5th wheel.
$159 at Camping World. $79 at Amazon.
I do love to spend my money on my rv'ing habit, but I try to spend wisely rather than foolishly.
I think I'll probably just buy all of my stuff at Cabelas rather than Camping World if this is how Camping World does business.
From what I can determine, Camping World does not have a price match policy. They do have a price guaranty that if they lower the price on something you bought from them in the last 30 days they will refund the difference but not from others.
Companies do not have to price match and from various encounters I have had with price matching at stores it is fraught with exceptions and distortions.
If a company elects not to engage in price matching it does not make them bad and if someone bases their patronage on this type of policy, then that's their choice.
I buy where I get the best value for my situation. If I need it now, I may pay more to get it. If I can wait, I will shop around.
I have gotten some good deals at CW over the years and I have gone elsewhere for other items when the deal was better elsewhere.
The lack or existence of a price match element does not even make the top 5 reasons to buy somewhere for me.
