$1 per gallon tank sale!

This is Petsmarts responce to my question as to why the manager at the local store would not match the price of the aquarium....seems quite vague and very unhelpfull.

Dear Mr. Moorefield,



Thank you for your recent email. PetSmart's vision is to provide Total Lifetime Care to Every Pet, Every Pet Parent, Every Time. We believe our everyday prices are lower than our competitors' everyday prices and in most cases, as low as or lower than their sale prices...but instead of making our Customers wait for a sale, we guarantee that our prices are the lowest EVERY DAY.

To back up our claim of Everyday Low Prices, we offer to price match items of local retail competitors (Products must be in stock, identical in brand, UPC, size, model number, flavor and quantity.). This guarantee states that if a Customer finds a lower price from a legitimate retailer on any identical item that they have purchased from PetSmart, we will price match the competitor's retail price at the PetSmart retail store. This guarantee gives our claim of Everyday Low Prices its credibility and is a vital part of our total company image.

Next time you are in the PetSmart store, please speak with the Store Manager, who will gladly assist you with any questions. You are important to PetSmart and we value any input you may have now and in the future.



Sincerely,
Belinda
Customer Care Specialist

Wow! These guys have Tony Snow beat hands down!

Quick, someone call Fox News! One of their employees has run amok!

That email does absolutely NOTHING to address the issue.

For the thousands it would have cost them to match these prices, I'm thinking it would have been well worth it with regards to the PR and exposure to this community. Now, granted, they don't do salt (which escapes me), but still, they do sell dry goods...

Anyone else get charged sales tax on the retail price of the tanks? I bought a 30 hex & a 40 breeder for a total of $70 & was charged $26 & change tax..................I thought you could only charge tax on the money that was exchanged. Do car dealers charge tax according to the sticker price or on the selling price of the car? I think we need to speak w/ a tax attorney regarding this situation.

Steve :D

If you're willing to cough up the cash to talk with an attorney, then by all means, please do.

It's an instant rebate. All it adds up to. Collecting taxes on the full amount is something retailers do quite frequently.

I think there are better things to expend your energy on. Like, trying to find ways to conserve energy...

Is this deal still going on? I called a local petco and the worker had no clue and the manager wasnt in.

A little late:
Offer valid 8/20/06 - 8/26/06
 
If you read the circular, it says the deals are good through 9/16 though. So I am not really sure.

--EDIT--

NEVERMIND IT IS EXPIRED.
 
Did any of you pick up an extra Oceanic 30 cube and don't need it?

I can take it off your hand if it was an impulse buy and instead of returning it hook up a fellow reefer.

Thanks
