More and more people use Amazon to make purchases of all kinds and the company that Jeff Bezos runs is aware of this. One example of this is that things are becoming easier for us to receive our order at home or to pay for it. What's more now they want us to also buy with the best price and not go to other stores to save a good handful of euros.
Surely some of you already know what I'm talking about, but for all of you who don't know what I'm referring to, I'll give you a simple example. Amazon does not want that because, for example, a book has a higher price than another store, you stop buying and go and buy it at that store.
For this reason, in recent days a new option has appeared in the description of each product, thanks to which we can get a better price on any book or product that Amazon sells.
In case you're still open-mouthed, let's go with an example that is surely the best way to understand it.
If, for example, we want to buy a Kobo Aura H2O, it is normal to compare prices between several stores, both virtual and physical. If after that check we realize that the price on Amazon is higher than any of the others, we can inform the company that Jeff Bezos runs that we have found the cheapest device. To do so we must look for this option in the product description;
If we press the Amazon option He will ask us where we have seen that price and some other things. By sending this assessment, the virtual store will study that price that you have seen elsewhere and in most cases, if it is real, it will proceed to offer you the product at that price so that you do not have to go to buy it from another site.
With this, Amazon ensures that no user needs to go to buy a product, whatever the type, to another place since it will always offer the minimum price. However, we imagine that on some occasion it will be impossible for them to offer us the lowest price if it is a specific offer in another store, although you never know with the virtual store.
We have tested it and it works
Before writing this article, we have already tried the option and Amazon has offered us the new product with the price it had in another store, for which we can confirm that it works and also very well. Of course, the answer is not immediate so if you are in a hurry this option is not for you.
Ready to buy at the best price on Amazon with this simple trick?.
Precisely the Kobo, Amazon has them more expensive than in other online stores. I guess as a deterrent so you don't buy them, and buy the Kindle instead. As a last resort, you make use of the commented option to lower the price and that's it.
I do not like this measure at all. All it does is favor the "jacket men." It is like with telephone companies, that many people sign up with another so that the current company calls and they make offers, etc., and then they do not change or anything. Because of the "jackets" companies act worse if possible than they already do. Because the offer they make to the "jackboy" comes out of putting another one of doubtful legality to other people. In short, bad practices on the part of companies are increasing.
Also, if another store has the cheaper price, it may be because it is more "honest" with profit margins, or does better in a particular industry. The only thing it will do is make the other companies, which have the cheapest products on top of it, disappear continuously.
I think you no longer have this option ...
I wanted to notify you of a lower price and there is no longer an option for a lower price, does the same thing happen to you?
Yes, the same, you can no longer report lower prices.
