Why you can get back money on your Amazon Buys
Whilst talking with a friend of mine on the phone last week he mentioned that he’d made an amazing discovery on. But one that they want to keep quiet !
You see, he was trawling through the terms and conditions on Amazon’s website and found this :
“Amazon’s prices for released items will change from time to time based on a variety of factors. If Amazon’s price for an already-released item decreases within 30 days after we ship the item to you, we’ll be glad to refund the difference in price if you contact us within that 30-day period.”
Fantasitc !
So if I buy something today and next week Amazon reduce it by 20% then I can claim that 20% reduction back in cash! I can see why they’ve hidden that away in their Terms and Conditions. It could cost them loads of money!
But the problem is how do you find time to keep going back and checking and rechecking to see if their buys have been reduced in price?
This made me start scouring the Internet for a way around this.
It seems that up until relatively recently the only way that these price drops could be located was either by recalling all the purchases you’ve made or by looking through all your email confirmations one at a time. And after that visiting Amazon to check if the price has dropped. Tedious!
Then I found Price Drop Protector.
All you have to do is to enter the item number, the price you paid, the date you bought the thing (get these from your emails) and an email address. The site will then tell you when the product drops in price during the 30 days after you paid for it. Then all you do is ask Amazon for the refund by filling in a simple form.
It’s so easy I was astonished !
So if you fancy saving some dosh check out the price protector site and saving money!
