Default Does John Lewis price match on cameras?

I'm after a camera that I'd really like to buy from JL because of the two year warranty. It's nearly £80 more expensive than Currys though, would they price match like they do on TVs?

Thanks

As long as it is the exact same model and from a shop not a internet based company they will price match

Just need to go on their site and submit a price match

Doesn't it have to be in stock at a store less than 20 miles from you or something?

Thanks.

I've looked into a price match small print and it states warranty charges are taken into account. So as JL give two years and Currys give one year I presume they'll use that as a reason to not price match?

They almost certainly will price match, regardless of warranty offerings.

Several years ago i challenged them to a price match against an company on Tottenham Court Road - they even phoned 'em to confirm the price and i saved a few hundred quid at the time (when camcorders used tape).

No wonder that they get repeat business from me.

Thanks. JL only had one left in stock so I ordered it because I need the camera for an upcoming holiday. I have 28 days to get the price match so I'll give it a go.

Many thanks

I could have had a free 5-year gauarnatee on the TV I bought, had I bought from JL.
Sadly, at the time, no-one had any stock. I eventually found one at Currys in Hull.
