prisgarantien

Prisgarantien, or the price guarantee, is a consumer policy used by some retailers in the Nordic region. It promises that the price of an identical item will be matched or that the customer will receive a refund for the difference if a lower price is found at another approved retailer within a defined period after purchase.

To qualify, the products must be the same model and color, with the same specifications and purchase conditions. The competing offer must be publicly available and verifiable, such as a price listed on a retailer's website or in print advertising. Claims usually must be submitted within a stated time window and require documentation, such as a receipt and evidence of the other price. Some programs require that the competing retailer be within a certain geographic region and that the item is in stock.

Claims are typically reviewed by the seller; if approved, the customer is refunded the difference or given a credit or a price adjustment on the original purchase. Some retailers offer price matching rather than reimbursement, and some exclude sale items, clearance, bundles, or items purchased from marketplaces or third parties.

Practical considerations include reading the terms and conditions carefully, including exclusions, the method of refund, and the time limit. The price guarantee is a policy and not a legal entitlement; offerings vary by retailer and country. It can be a useful tool for consumers who want protection against price fluctuations, but it requires attention to detail and adherence to the advertised rules.
