Hey mini - Dan's wanted to see the date on the receipt before they'd match. Any chance you still have it and cld repost? Alternatively, if anyone could get a pic of a shelf label that would work as it has the sale dates on it. Thanks all!
If only my local DM didnt know their own price match policy awell
Rotten luck mate. ... yes, the 'in stock' bit would have had me! I was in the 10km no probs. Had 700m to spare on that.If only my local DM didnt know their own price match policy awell
ie. within 10km, and in stock
Only the Brimoncourt fizz left on the Northern Beaches VCsSoz buddy, I've got the scoop on the Northern shops. I can assure both Chatswoods are cleaned out, short of a few bubbles and that Penfolds baiju mix
The policy also excludes clearances..
Was there any indication as to when this might happen? Before the end of June?
All she was told was to expect more, no further info.
I went into my local Dan's today, showed them the photo. they got the duty manager and he said they won't match unless it's in a catalogue or online, that store clearances don't count. Which is true...
I tried at FC same issue
Unlucky guys. I got a St Peters from another local Dan's today. I then asked if the guy would come at selling me some quintets and he said he wasn't so keen as we were strictly outside of the 10km rule and he'd get grilled. He did kindly say I could ask them to be transferred to their other store. At both places they asked if it was a clearance and I said no it was a genuine national sale, and they said all ok. The guy today mentioned that strictly the wine had to be in stock at the place they're matching, but they don't check too often. I reckon your duty manager was making it up. I mean what precisely is a clearance vs a sale, and where does the Dan's policy mention the catalogue thing?
... hmmm I just read the DM and FC policies. Both very similar. Must have hit upon the right combination of confidence, chat and luck! Sorry again guys.
Yep, I went back to the one VC in Canberra yesty and there were only three Cellar Sale items left in the whole shop - a fortified Shiraz, and Chardy and a scotch. So the 'in stock today' aspect of the DM/FC policy would be the issue if they checked. This is why I go to Dans at a time of night after VC is shut!
Mine was at the DM Brighton store. They were going to ring the local VC to confirm it was in stock, but looked online and said it wasn’t on sale, regardless of whether there was a ticket in store.
Interesting business... I went to FC today and the guy said he was happy to match but said 'advertised' in their policy means online. I replied that that is a very particular reading of the word, and not the only one. Anyhoo, seems the lads at my two local Dans aren't so fussed with checking - they were happy to go off the VC shelf labels. The guy at VC yesty said this was fairly typical Dans laziness (seems this statement isn't true of all Dans...). Fun times. We live and learn!
Nice! How much?
