I am always looking for the best prices when shopping. However, I've learned that you cannot schedule your purchases around every sale. That is why I love price adjustments. If you find an item that you have bought has gone on sale, don't fret! Many retailers will honor that new price and give you credit or money back! Here is a list of 30+ retailers & their price adjustment policies.
Contact Amazon customer service at 1-888-280-3321 to request your price adjustment becuase they do not indicate the time frame you have for the refund.
Price adjustments are not eligible for special promotions, including %’s off (e.g., 25%, 40%, and 50%, etc.) and $’s off.
One price adjustment for merchandise purchased at full-price, which has been marked down for the first time, may be made within 7 days from the original date of purchase.
Ann Taylor stores are not able to process price adjustments for online orders.
