Internet price

Last week I found a roof antenna on Camping world web site that I wanted. So I printed the listing and went to my local camping world. For the first time ever the manager said you have to pay that price plus 20 dollars for shipping. I am standing there with the antenna in my buggy. This is the first time that this has ever happened to me when I have found an item on their web site then found it in the store....I was just a little ticked...

  • C'mon people...you want the lower price AND not have to pay shipping? If you didn't buy it at the store and bought it on line, (at the lower price) wouldn't you have to pay S&H..:h. Compare apples to apples. You want it both ways...:S

    Look at it this way...if you want it NOW be prepared to PAY for that convenience. Otherwise quit belly aching and order it on line for the "lower" price. You guys keep bichin about this stuff and pretty soon the price matching will go away...take your complaint up with the manager of the store...he can either waive the shipping cost or not. Home Depot, Lowes, Sears even Wal*Mart do the same thing when price matching. Read their disclaimers....JMO...Dennis
  • Sounds like the "Document Preparation Fee" that car dealers charge customers. This used to be a cost of doing business: now it's an add on to make more money as is the shipping, and ubiquitous "handling" charge. Same thing with CW.
  • They have been doing that for years and I think it's ridiculous. They have lost numerous sales with me just because of that policy. On a rare occasion they won't charge you for the shipping.
  • So the price in the catalog was lower than the price on the shelf?
    This has been noted here many times. They keep trying to stick people with "shipping".
    Someone needs to understand that every time they gouge someone it leaves a bad taste in the customers mouth.
    Did you end up buying it anyway?
