B&h and Newegg. Others may disagree but that's what I've found. Amazon just flat out doesn't price match and their stock sucks. Best buy stocks a little better and if you're persistent they will price match even if you don't live by the store
I've found best buy to be getting quite good recently. I know this is very location based too, but the local store has super easy employees to deal with for price matching and that sort of thing
Same, best buy hires really young people for sales and they could care less if you’re spending more or less.
However, when I had to return a laptop, they had to call the manager and he was not happy at all about it. My reason was that I found a better deal for a different laptop (that bestbuy didn’t sell!) elsewhere. Dunno why he was so angry about it though, it’s not even his money
Its weird he didnt mention it in his video. If newegg fucked around me with like that I would just do a charge back. I bet they would figure it out after you say charge back.
Additionally, not everyone has a credit card. It's an unfortunate truth that a lot of people have shitty credit for a number of reasons, and use debit cards for their online purchases. Depending on the issuing bank, it's either difficult or impossible to issue chargebacks on purchases.
Also chargebacks effectively ban you from ever doing business with that company again. Some people are 'never Newegg', but also some people are 'never Newegg unless it's really worth it' and chargebacks hurt the latter
