Amazon.com's policy on prices I just purchased a Panasonic television a couple days ago and now it is on sale for $40.00 cheaper. Is there any way I can get this price now??

Thanks! I found the number and called them. They can't give me a refund. the only thing I could do is to refuse the package from the first shipment and order the t.v. now at the new price....but it's not worth it to me. I would rather get the t.v. sooner than later.

this happens all the time to everyone, dont sweat it! Sometimes things go on sale or Amazon gets a better deal from the manufacturer or they need to get rid of old stock. Don't blame a great company like Amazon for price flutuations...its just the nature of the beast.

Hi. I am wondering if your TV had an warranty in the package? I called Amazon and could not verify any warranty on the product? Please reply. thanks

I havent received this t.v. yet.... so I don't know. It should have a warranty though..I will let you know when I get it.I know that electronics go down in price, but I'm talking about it going down in price after a couple of days, as a Gold box deal thing....just wish I had waited to buy it.

I havent called them yet but I am thinking about it. I am sure they will say that since it's a "Gold Box" price that they can't refund my money. I could however probably buy it now and then return the other t.v. when I get it, but that would be a major PIMA!! (pain in my ass). .LOLPlus I can't even find a customer service phone number on this site!

Just click on the help link on any page. Once on the help page there will be a link on the right side, middle of the page that says contact us.

Very same thing happened to me. Now to find Amazon's phone number. Where can I find it???

Right, M Hoskins. Anything electronic almost always goes down in price unless it is in high demand or uniquely desirable. The exceptions we see on Amazon for discontinued digital cameras and such are just the prices asked by greedy resellers who may not actually sell any at those prices.

Does anyone know with Amazon Gold Box deals if they ever go back to that price soon after. Like with this Panasonic I saw it for the 259.99 but I didn't have the money at the time, and now it's up to 299.99 and I'm not really that experience with Amazon sales so I was wondering if anyone knows if it's likely to go back to the 259.99 deal any time soon. I just cant bring myself to get it if I know I could had it for $40 cheaper :(

1) The TV rose $135, not $230. 2) Amazon has an EXCELLENT price match policy. I bought mine for $1520 and the next day it went down to $1489 and I got credited the $31 price drop. I wouldn't worry, as I guarantee the price will come back down, probably during labor day weekend. 3) Why did you have to wait to get your paycheck to buy the TV? Sounds like a dumb excuse to me. Put it on a credit card, and that gives you a whole month until you actually have to pay for it.

I just did the same thing. I bought a TV from Amazon at the best price (this morning 01-18-09) and now Onecall has the best price (same day but evening time)The price only went down $30, but hey $30 is $30 and I thought I heard that amazon has price matching through 30 days.Help us!

Well Ive been wanting to get this TV and today they raised price to $2139.98 from $1999.99! Is this a comon practce or BS!!John

The reason the price jumped is that Amazon doesn't have the camera in stock (hardly anyone does -- Panasonic seems to have badly underestimated demand), and the only third-party Amazon sellers who have it are charging these ridiculous gouging prices because they think there are people willing to pay that much to get it NOW as opposed to whenever Panasonic can manufacture enough to satisfy the demand. If I were to put in an order with Amazon today (buying from Amazon at $899), I doubt I'd receive it before January at this point. There's no way I would pay $1500 for a GF1, but the official $899 price seems fair for what it is (with a lens included).

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99 When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

Same here, I am watching the prices too, almost pulled the trigger on the $1249 price but got greedy I guess. I just found this other site a few days ago, not sure if anyones already posted this but go to http://priceprotectr.com/ and follow the directions and it'll email you when prices drop at retailers online sites including amazon. Not sure how accurate or timely it is but I'm trying it anyway since its free.

Great price! How did you negotiate down from the MSRP to $2,100? Did you do this in the store and talk with a manager? Was it part of a package deal (tv, blu-ray, surround sound, installation, etc.)? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

Almost every retailer raised their price for this TV after the Thanksgiving promotion. I thought everyone knew that retailers traditionally offered specials to spur sales after Thanksgiving. I got mine at $879 shipped through Amazon. Keep in mind that Amazon offered this TV at $879 for a week after Thanksgiving.

My wife bought this TV at Amazon for $798. We called first (866-423-5355) - this is the large order placement customer service number. The rule is you have to order it first, then wait until it ships (a day or two) then call the same number back and tell them you saw it at samsclub.com for $598 - they refund the $200 back to the method of payment. Worked great - and they were very friendly. Only risk is that Sams could raise their price in the interim. But we were willing to take the risk for the advantage of buying from Amazon.

Same thing happened to me two weeks ago with a different TV. Amazon would not give me the price I originally ordered it at. Bought it and it dropped back to the original price this week. Amazon price changing has gotten out of hand. Instead of feeling good about the purchase, I feel as though I was duped. It also took six days from the date of order to remove the hold from my amazon credit card. I ended up using my debit card.

Yes, I would be interested in this TV also at $535.99 with free shipping, how do we find out if Amazon will honor this?

I am seriously thinking about getting this tv through BB later today. I've looked around the web and the cheapest is here on Amazon for $1199.Getting it from BB after tax would save me $324 and that is significant enough to want to upgrade my 46" 8 year old LCD tv, even though my wife will give me grief. =^)
