I asked at my WM in QC no changes to the PM policy
As usual, the staff on the front lines are the last to know anything.....hopefully a training session or two will clear things up. But then again...we're talking Walmart....
Yes so true. I know a price matching thread would be good but I can see we would need a Walmart rant thread too. They are so good but also so badd

Walmart will not supply a policy by email, they have "guidelines" for stores to follow (a big binder with pics and updated memos) but will tell you they do not have a formal policy
The CSM showed me the latest memo, it does say that a competitor is in the local shopping area but managers are to decide exactly what those boundaries are, so stores are not making up their own rules (just like it says it has to be printed, but some will allow you to show on a smartphone)
Here here to problems pming in Hamilton. I stopped last Christmas when a toy I wanted to buy was about $15 cheaper at RCSS in Grimsby. They would not pm it said Grimsby was not "local".....even though Walmart flyers the Grimsby area. Totally rude and ridiculous, said I had to just buy it at RCSS. So I did, lol.
My point being that if it's a discretionary practise it won't be happening in the Hammer.
We don't have Memory Express in Quebec so DH price match at ME in Calgary with a link and get 25% off difference and pay only 5% tax.
My Walmart flyer still says "local competitor".
"Walmart will match the advertised purchase price of any competitor for an identical product."
"Ad Match is only available with proof of the current published in-store retail price for the identical product in an advertisement by a retailer in the local area."
I just called my local WM and confirmed that YES they are price matching Canada Wide with the following stipulations.
You must have a printed copy of the flyer showing the dates on it. (I confirmed printed off the internet was fine )
Flyer must show a before and after price. ie: Was $1.99 Now $.99 If it does not show the before price they will NOT price match.
They will not price match % off a price (that is nothing new ;) )
Thanks Dariuz for bringing this to our attention. :top:
the ones I go to only care about final price and that the product is same size ex corn pops 500g for $2.99 etc, the before and after price is odd for them to ask for as not even their flyers show this
I still haven't gotten a response to the email I sent through Head Office to my local store...
:eek:Corn Pops 500g for $2.99 sign me up lol
I sent a formal question through Walmart.ca to my local store, and the response just came through:
"In terms of price matching Walmart.ca will match Canadian on-line ads, when you are shopping on line with us, in store they will price match local competitors only"
That was the entire response. SO I guess that is a no for New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Anyone else in Nova Scotia have better luck?
I just messaged my local walmart through walmart.ca. We will see what the response is/if I get a response. It is the Appleby/dundas one in Burlington, ON.
you can get 2kg Redpath sugar for $.99 pm Grant's Foodmart in mississauga. cheapest I have seen so far!, I got 6 packs today and there are no expire dates for sugars, so stock up if you do lots of baking!
There are so many good deals elsewhere...
Dying to pm canada-wide competitors at my Walmart!!
Need more info - Does ANYONE in BC have confirmation?
If you guys want to know if your walmart does the canada wide PM then just post the address of your walmart and I will check for you :)
I find Walmart is awful for not letting their staff know what is going on. I called and they said yes so couple days later I go over to do it. I know the cashier and she has been there for years and first thing she told me was she can't price match using the phone. She went to customer service and asked and came back and said ok. Then when I showed her the flyer she said it had to be local and again off she goes to customer service and came back saying ok.
I don't understand how they could not let their cashiers know. This one has been there for at least 10 years, I'd say. I could see it very easy that whoever answers the phone at customer service would also have no idea about the change. The staff and cashiers should be the first ones to be told since they are the ones that need to do it.
Is this Walmart right in Summerside? That's pretty darn close considering the ferry is right here... considering that, it really sucks that our Walmart is saying no. :( There is at least one CSM at the New Glasgow store who really seems to hate couponers though, and has made me feel stupid more than once. I am always very polite and patient when couponing, so I don't understand why the hate...
Could you please check Walmarts in Surrey BC.....Guildford and South Surrey locations?
Thank you so much!!!
Hi, yes we have the Walmart here in Summerside that does it. Last week I called Chartlottetown Walmart and they said "NO" and I just tried calling there again and today the answer is yes and she said what most people are doing is using their phone. A big change from less than a week ago.
I would suggest that if it's been several days since you asked then just call and ask again. It seems like some stores may be a little slow getting on board, maybe. Or it might be that staff are just learning about it now just like my cashier here in Summerside.
I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to know that so many Walmarts are doing it and the one in my area would not. I hope you get your yes, soon.
OOPS... wrong thread...
excuse me, pardon me, coming through... oops... I'll take it over to dariusz8 similiar thread...
Ideas for organizing thread -
1. List all commonly purchased items in their departments in the PRODUCT column. All one million items do not need to be listed today - just continue to add products weekly as sales happen.
2. If there is an advertised sale price on BD Cheese, add the PRICE / SALES DATE / FLYER LINK / PROV info to the chart. Link FLYER so that we can print it for price matching.
3. If someone finds a better advertised price for the identical product and sales date, their flyer KNOCKS OUT the original one.
4. If someone finds a better advertised price for the identical product with a different sales date, their flyer is added beneath the original one.
5. If an advertised sale price is not found for a product, the PRICE / SALES DATE / FLYER LINK / PROV columns remain empty.
6. When sale ends delete its PRICE / SALES DATE / FLYER LINK / PROV info from the chart. Never delete PRODUCT / SIZE info from the chart
