Price matching Apple products

[TargetsDaddy]

So we have a few guests that would price match Airpods or IPads with Walmart but when I check on the price match app it doesn't show up when I scan or enter DPCI. I'm assuming it's due to the model number/UPC being slightly off but same exact product if I search up. Do I price match it anyways even though same product but model number/UPC slightly off?

Partner with a TL on that. It's supposed to be the exact same model. If the model # is different I'd decline it.
During my comp shop days of yore, Walmart routinely dropped the last digit on their UPC labels to discourage compers.

WalMart has become a problem child when it comes to the price match app because you have put in everything by hand and then scrutinize every little detail to make sure it is the right one. It. Is. A Pain!

Walmart on the price match app is a pain. Download the Walmart app and scan the barcode of the item on the Walmart app. The correct item will be compared but make sure it in stock and sold by Walmart.

Yeah pretty much this. It doesn't help that Apple products look identical.

I would decline the price match unless, its
Just a small difference in price.

Wal-Mart and some other stores intentionally sell nearly-identical products under a different model number and SKU. There's usually a minor difference in floor of features. We also do this on products labelled as "Only at Target" or " Target Exclusive ". It's an approach to deterring price matching by competitors.

I don't get why Target doesn't just be upfront and say we don't price match any Apple products cause we know Karen's are going to bitch "But it's the same product!"

iPads are 2 for $5 at Publix rn but I’m going to Target instead so I ask to see the manager, who will be sure to approve the price match as soon as he sees me and is overcome by a sudden joyous rush of nostalgia for those bygone days when he had to add a second cash office to accommodate all the money I was making for his store

Tread with caution there are groups out there using fake apps to attempt to get a price match on Apple products. If you can’t locate it through a mydevice don’t do the price match.

Apple doesn't do different models for different retailers like other companies. An iPad you buy from Target is exact same model # as you buy from Walmart (unlike Keurig for example).

Same model size/color, etc, shipped and sold by the retailer, or price match declined.

If it doesn't come up I don't match it. They are welcome to shop at Walmart, in most cases it's OOS at Walmart and that's why they came to us.
