811 at Sears

[sprinklerguy]

I think I am going to buy it...I am really tired of waiting....anyone want to try and dissuade me? And why?

If I am switching out a receiver I can just switch it out right? And then later I can get a quad LNB and run a new line so I can install both receivers on same TV?

When you order the HD pack from Dish is it activated right away?

the only thing I won't get is CBS HD because it is on wing satellite right?

does anyone know if I would qualify for the free install of wing dish I am in zip code 80863..

Thanks

I bought mine from sears. I got it for $179.99. I had them price match local dealers so the gave me 10% of the difference ($199.99 - Sear price match plus policy) I have a installer coming Feb 2nd! My 811 was ordered I will get it friday paid for it on Sunday!

 

[sprinklerguy]

Price match with whom? Help me right away....am leaving soon

 

[peid]

price match the local dealer (Dish Network).

 

[sprinklerguy]

yes...how to prove it though? Website?

 

[peid]

They will call, or most of the time they will take your word for it.

They do for me anyway.

I have flat out lied about price matches and got them before.

I have only ever seen the retailer call once before, that was for something over $800 though.

 

[sprinklerguy]

What do I say when they tell me that Dish doesn't have them in stock?

I went into my local Sears and asked if they would price match Dish at $199. They had one in stock, but said Dish was not one of their competitors so they wouldn't price match it. I told them I read here that another Sears did price match, but that didn't impress them. I left and realized, what was I thinking!! I could buy it from them and return it when I get my $150 exclusive customer 811 from Dish. Oh well, I guess I will return tomorrow.

Doesn't matter I guess...I went to sears to pick up the 811 they left behind the counter for me....when they price scanned it , came up at $129.63! She said that reflected the 30% off discount! I zipped my lips and walked slowly out the door.....then I ran....then I drove really fast and every time the phone rings I panic!

Something wrong with barcode reader/scanner and /or the barcode on the box I guess....anyway, I have mine..

 

[peid]

Way to go, sounds like you did just what I would have done.

 

[sprintcarcrazy]

It's no wonder Sears is in the Red ink, I bought my 811 from them and paid full price, but I had order 4 other boxes from them and returned two.

When they credited them back, I looked at my ticket and they gave me my money back on the $200 and also gave me back $145.00 sales tax.

What a mess they have !

 

[korsjs]

Can anyone provide a link saying that the 811 is available for 149.99 or 179.99. I have found a sears that has one in stock and would like to get it today.

 

[sprinklerguy]

I couldn't find one....sorry.....maybe their barcoder will be bad too?

 

[korsjs]

Can any one help with the sears price match. My sears has one in stock but will not budge on the price. I talked to dish and they told me to have sears call them and that they would tell them I am eligible for 149, but when they called dish told them no way they could do it.

Talk to the manager, if they dont do it talk to thier manager. After 2 mgr's tell them you buy a bunch of stuff there. Show them some websites, have them call local retailer's (specially on sundays when they are closed, LOL)

Tell them they have the opp to take care of the customer now or you will keep going up to DM or RVP until you get treated fair.

They will price match it they have too! (or you wont buy the DLP from them)

I know this is not going to be a popular position, but... Abusing the price matching policy is borderline theft.

The cash price for an 811 is going to be pretty much $399 everywhere. The $199 price is a promotional price, and is tied to programming commitments. That price is highly subsidized because of the additional revenue generated by the corresponding programming requirement.

Sears is losing almost $200 per receiver by price matching a 'bogus' deal. Even though Sears is a big corporate company and can probably afford to lose money here and there, knowingly cheating them out of money is very wrong in my opinion.

Please imagine how you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.. I don't think you would like for someone to extort money from you in this way.

Ok, flame on!

Wait so your saying that it was wrong of me to a get a 65 inch Mitsi tv from Sears for $1699 cause they labeled it wrong ?

None of your locals are on the wing so, no, you don't qualify for a free install.

 

[sprinklerguy]

Yeah, I figured that out already...thanks Bobby....bummer eh?
