Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
 

I had ordered my N800 from Amazon.com for $357.98 two weeks ago. I love my N800. Just saw a thread about N800 price drop at buy.com so I checked Amazon.com and it is now selling for $279.99.
I called their customer service and talked to this rep in India and asked if they could refund me the price difference since it has only been a couple of weeks. He told me that the price difference of $77.99 will be credited to my credit card in 3-5 business days. No questions asked. I love Amazon.com

God! I hate V.A.T and PCWORLD :)

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
 

I just got my N800 ($359.99 from Amazon, via TigerDirect). Did yours come through a third party like Tiger Direct, or was it direct from Amazon itself? I'm not sure if it's even worth asking for a refund of the difference, since it was via a third party... anybody got any idea there?

Edit: I just called and sure enough, they cannot refund the difference because it was through TigerDirect... boy, talk about a good lesson learned. If you buy through Amazon, make sure it's actually sold by Amazon itself, and not some third party. :-(

I bought mine from amazon. I prefer to not use other sellers because I like amazon's customer service and return policies. Check Tigerdirect's return policy.

Sweet, amazon also refunded my difference! I'll be shopping there even more in the future - always had very good customer service experiences with them. Thanks for posting this!

But they refuse to send this to Australia :(

Thanks for the heads up! I just got off the phone, and had the same experience for both N800's I just bought (one is for my son)!

Got mine at Buy.com for $350 about two and a half weeks ago, and they dropped the price to $244 this weekend. $105 price drop out of nowhere, what the hell? I asked very nicely for a refund, and they said no. After learning this lesson the hard way, I'm making all my future online purchases at Amazon.

Reasonable price protection is a nice benefit. I tend to prefer retailers who offer it, also. Just sucks to be a day or so outside the window on occasion... :D

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
 

Amazon price today shows as 273.99 which is further drop of $6 (though tiny) and I called them again today to see if they will do a second refund of the difference (I bought it for $357.98 and they refunded me $77.99 on previous call when it dropped down to $279.99). Today is my 29th day from date of purchase and they gave me another refund for $6.00. Now this is customer service!! Now I am off to buy a case for N800 from Amazon as this little refund made it cheaper.
That's why my only online retailer is Amazon!!

I bought a video card from newegg years ago and they dropped the price a month later and refunded me the difference after I pointed out the price drop. I try to stick to newegg or amazon for everything now days.

Just received my N800 from onsale.com $239. Free regular shipping. No tax. Got it in 3 days. Like it. Seems fast enough. Haven't been able to pair to Treo 700P. Any Treo pairing suggestions?

N800 is the #2 Bestseller in Computers and PC Hardware on Amazon as of 6:30 PM EST Saturday Oct 20.
Amazon Bestsellers http://amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/...589954-9726522

I guess the market for this device is rather price sensitive. I mean, I didn't really consider it for its original price (and its original features), but now at the lower price and with all the incredible advancements in OS2008, it is extraordinarily tempting (though so is the Asus eee PC.....)

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
 

I am in the same boat. If I had a clue it would drop in cost so fast I would of waited. :(
Bummer!

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
 

You may have a try, they may grant you the difference. Amazon is very good, I like it, refund the price difference in one month is an advantage.

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
 

Anyone living in NYC can go to J&R World and get the N800 for 249.99. Out of state folks can go to their website and help themselves too.

Hello,

just to mention: I bought my N800 less than two weeks ago - just before the price drop - at Amazon Germany and upon request this week they politely refunded me the difference. Good shop! :)

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
 

It is now $229.99 (via Tigerdirect) on Amazon.

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
 

Buying from Amazon, it's now $236.48 with free shipping -- for me, TigerDirect adds sales tax :(

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference
