I wanna buy some sennheiser CX 400 headphones and I have found some for very cheap online. I'm curious as to what conditions the online sites must meet for futureshop to price match? ie canadian retailer, etc.

I have price matched from newegg.ca at futureshop. The chick didnt even take into account the shipping. She just matched that the website said and added tax.

I found it to be up to the person you talk to.

I have price matched with Amazon.ca on movie. At first the dude said they won't price match used movie. I told him it was price for a brand new movie, not used. He said the printout didn't say, I was like how many price tags in your shop say"NEW".

After that I tried a few times price-matching Amazon.ca and they told me straight up that they won't do it with no apparent reason. I just decided to stop wasting my time and give my business to Amazon.

if you found it cheaper on a site (cant be a site like ebay or any bidding site, must be a site where the distributes it) they will match it, but they will make you pay the amount it cost for shipping and handling the site will charge on top of the original cost, soo really most of the time its about the same thing you pay at the store....

I agree, it depends on the person/store. Some will and some won't. Some will factor in the shipping and some won't.
