Why you can get back a small fortune on your Amazon Purchases

Whilst chatting with a friend of mine on IM earlier he mentioned that he’d made an amazing discovery about Amazon.  But one that they want to keep quiet !

You see, he was trawling through the terms and conditions on Amazon’s website and noticed this section:

“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.”

Stupendous !

So if I purchase something today and next week Amazon drop the price by 20% then I can claim that 20% reduction !  No wonder they’ve buried that away in their Terms and Conditions. It could cost them loads of money!

But the question is who’s going to have time to keep going back and checking and rechecking to see if their buys have gone down in price?

This set me off hunting around the Internet for an answer.

It appears that up until recently the only way that these price drops could be detected was either by actually remembering every purchase you’ve made or by looking through all your email receipts line by line. And after that going to Amazon to find out the price. Tiresome!

Then I stumbled upon Price Protector.

All you have to do is to enter the Amazon product number, the amount paid for it, the date you bought the thing (get these from your emails) and your email address. The site will then let you know if the product drops in price during the 30 days after you bought it.  Then all you do is follow the simple instructions provided to ask Amazon for the refund.

It’s so easy I was amazed !

So if you fancy saving some cash why not check out Price Drop Protector, start protecting your prices and saving money!
