  • Shops having one price online and then a higher price in store so it turns out cheaper to get the thing posted to me (probably from the store I went to) than it is for me to walk in and buy it in person.

  • I needed some Radweld recently.
    Unfortunately (not so local) Halfords seemed to be the most likely place with stock I could physically collect. Online price £4.99. Shelf price £12.99. Checked with a geezer setting up the number plate machine. Was assured the till operator would honour the online price, which fortunately she did.
    Is this 'surge' or 'dynamic' pricing, or just funding the Halfords' Chairperson's Bentley & cigars lifestyle?

  • Mate saw a socket set for £25 online (halfords)
    went down to the shop, told him it was £75.
    He mentioned the online price, which they said was online only.
    He stood there, ordered on his phone with click and collect, and waved the collection barcode at them and handed them the product.
    Didn't even need to leave the desk.

    Glad they are now price matching themselves at the till these days.

  • Realised when I got back to the office that I should have asked if they'd match the price, but doubt they would have.

  • Radweld
    There’s a product that takes me back
