Default TV I bought has just come down in price.......

Bought a new TV from Tesco just under 2 weeks ago, went in there today and it has come right down in price, is there any way I can get the difference back? or is it to late?

Thanks in advance.

Instead of asking Tesco I'd ask a bunch of randoms on a website.

There is nothing in law which says you can get a refund, you could try asking tesco'sthough!

I have had this happen to me and out of goodwill have received the difference.

However it was not in the SALE it was merely a price adjustment.

Usually the response is tough luck. You thought it was worth £x a few days ago and you paid £x. If you didn't know you would be happy

they have a 'price promise' system where they will refund the difference if you have found the same product somewhere cheaper, take it back and say that it is being offered at other stores cheaper than what you bought it for

they might even have a 'double the difference' system

Some places have a 28 day return policy. If they wont refund the difference threaten to return it,then buy it again at the cheaper price.

Why do some people always want something for nothing - we live in a time of Dis-satisfaction

You bought a TV before Christmas and are now surprised it has come down in price in the sales?!?!? I'd tell you where to go.

Easy answer to this one, take it back with the purchase recipt and say it was an unwanted christmas present. except a gift card, then use this on buying the TV back at the sale price and use the difference on beers.

Tesco operate a 28 day exchange policy if you are not happy and the good are in perfect condition.
