We shop the competition so you don’t have to.
If prior to your purchase or during the exchange and return period, you discover a lower advertised price than ours, bring in verifiable proof for the same brand and model in stock at a local competitor, and we will match that price. If you are unsure about getting the lowest price at our store, we’ll check local competitor’s pricing and availability online on the spot. If a lower price is found, and it is in stock, we will match it.
Some restrictions apply. See details below.
Exclusions:
Our price guarantee does not apply to competitors' free offers, limited
quantity items, open-box, clearance or closeout products, Ultimate Buys, Ultimate
Values, mail-in incentives, financing or bundle offers, internet sales, online
only special pricing, floor models, and parts or accessories purchased through
Partsearch. The policy does not apply to typographical errors or a competitor's
price that results from a price match.
What is considered a local retail competitor?
A brick and mortar retail store located in the same market area as
your Ultimate Electronics store.
What is considered "verifiable proof" of price?
The best way to show proof of price is to bring in the competitor's
current ad, which shows the price of the item you wish to match and the dates
for which the price is valid. We reserve the right to call the competitor's
store to verify the lower price and availability of the item. If the current
ad is not available, we reserve the right to call the competitor's store to
verify the lower price and availability of the item. We will also check local
competitor’s pricing and availability online on the spot for you.
How do you handle a price match if the Ultimate Electronics price includes
a coupon, rebate, gift card or other promotional offer?
A refund or price match will be based on the purchase price at Ultimate Electronics
after all discounts and promotions are applied.
We offer you the choice between the Ultimate Electronics purchase price or the competitor's price. (See details below)
If you choose a competitor's price, applicable Ultimate Electronics coupons, rebates, gift cards or other promotional offers will no longer apply and will not be fulfilled. Free items received during the original purchase must either be returned or their value paid for. This applies to "packages" or "bundle rebates" as well. If you choose the competitor's offer, the entire original package or bundle rebate is invalid.
If you prefer a current Ultimate Electronics offer instead of your original Ultimate Electronics offer, you must accept either the entire current offer or your entire original offer. You may not, for example, receive both a current advertised sale price and any coupons, rebates, gift cards or other promotional offers that were in effect at the time of your original purchase but are no longer available. You may choose the offer that is best for you.
How do you handle a price match if the competitor's price includes
a rebate, gift card or other promotional offer?
The competitor's purchase price is calculated by deducting instant
discounts taken at the register such as instant rebates. Mail-in rebates and
other deferred savings are not deducted from the competitor's purchase price.
What if the competitor does not have the item in stock or has limited
quantities of the product?
Sometimes a retailer will advertise a very low price for a product
but have only limited quantities in stock. If the item is out of stock or the
competitor has limited quantities of that item, then the product is not eligible
for “On the Spot “ price matching or our Price Guarantee.
Does the price match apply to Internet retailers?
Ultimate Electronics does not match the prices of Internet-only retailers
or the online only special offers, where a product or a price is only offered
to online buyers.
Are services eligible for price matching?
Due to the differences in services being performed, Ultimate Electronics does
not match competitor's service prices. This includes, but is not limited to
delivery, installation, repair, and performance guarantees.
Can I have my price match request processed over the phone or online?
We currently are not able to process your refund or purchase over the
phone or online. However, if you have questions regarding the policy, call our
Ultimate Resolution Center at 1-877-439-7667.
Does the Price Guarantee apply to price changes after your original
purchase at your local Ultimate Electronics store?
If you find a lower price in stock at a local ultimate Electronics
store either at the time of your purchase or during the exchange and return
period of your purchase, we will refund you 100% of the difference.
