Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) NCIX Price-Match: How To Effectively Save Money Price Match FAQ page Hi all,So I don't know how many people know of and use this tactic while searching for the best deals, but here's what I do:---------------Step 1)Find the product you want on NCIX's website.Example: http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=75201&vpn=N660TI%20PE%202GD5%2FOC&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar&promoid=1366Step 2)Let's say you want to purchase this product, but you feel it could be cheaper somewhere else.Step 3)Locate the Part # underneath the Product Weight information on the far right hand sideExample: Step 4)Go to http://www.shopbot.ca and paste the Part # into the search box.Example: http://www.shopbot.ca/m/?m=N660TI+PE+2GD5%2FOCStep 5) Find the cheapest price, and copy that URLExample: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=12980BD5873&vpn=N660TI%20PE%202GD5/OC&manufacture=MSI/MICROSTAR** Double-check each page as the prices are not always up-to-date **Step 6)Back to NCIX, after adding your desired product to Your Card, scroll down and click on the Start Price Match button.Step 7)Enter in the price you found and the URL you copied.** Savings may vary per product, but I've found I usually save anywhere from $15 - $40 **Step 8) After completing your purchase, your Price Match Request will be reviewed by NCIX. If all is well, it'll be accepted fairly quickly.---------------I hope this helps some people save some money (which they can spend on more things at NCIX :P) Also, please remember to use the price BEFORE Mail-in rebates, or else the request will likely be denied. :PHappy shopping!

Posted January 4, 2013 I assume that price matches aren't likely to be accepted for promo code sales, such as from newegg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 4, 2013 I assume that price matches aren't likely to be accepted for promo code sales, such as from newegg?Doubtful, most companies won't match promos/sales/combos from other companies, only the normal cost, which sucks.

Posted January 4, 2013 I wish more companies in the UK did price matches. One I walked out of a shop because they refused to drop their price by £5 on a £80 psu.

Posted January 6, 2013 Honestly, I am a loyal NCIX customer and I have ordered over 2K in parts for builds and upgrades, but, lately I am starting to go to MemoryExpress more frequently due to their 25% price beat guarantee and it works with Limited Quantity (at least for my orders YMMV). Which is a shame because I really like NCIX and when I used to live in Vancity I used to go to the physical store to buy stuff. Also I find that PcPartpicker works better and you can check compatibility as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 16, 2013 Just thought I should add. I was upgrading my computer a couple months ago but NCIX.us didn't want to pricematch Newegg and Amazon because of unreliable source or something. At least NCIX has great selection of hard to find parts though! La`~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 17, 2013 Pricebat.ca is also useful, sometimes I find stuff cheaper than at shopbot (also vice versa) and redflagdeals is a good place to check as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 12, 2013 Author does ncix pricematch with microcenter? If they're in Canada or price in Canadian dollars then I don't see why not. GW2: Vettexl.9726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
