Having worked in retail for a number of years, I would always feel bad after seeing an item go on sale after I helped someone purchase it the day before. I know a lot of consumers would like this, and if I worked at BestBuy I would probably tell my customers to use it.
Does your app look at price drops of competitors? If I buy something at Best Buy and Staples sells the same thing cheaper, will I be notified? Do the notifications stop after the 30 days or however long they guarantee the price for?
- wrath 16y agoNot yet, 3 weeks is not a lot of time :) We have looked into it though and it has lots of complexities, not necessarily technically but from a business point of view. Many retailers (including BestBuy) have strict terms on which items can be price matched from other stores (e.g. it can't be an online item, or you have to include the shipping.) And every store has a different policy. So no we don't do it, yes we'd like to do it, but assuming it really does fit in our plans, it'll be in the future.
