ToysRUs Price Matching ALL Competitors! Think they'll Price Match Black Friday Ads?!

Price Match Guarantee!  Our low price promise!  Visit our store and we'll match any valid competitor's ad.

Oops I saved it before reading it (oops lol) and was excited for like 2 seconds ugh. How is this a "Price Match Guarantee" LOL!!!!!!?!?!?!? Here's what they will NOT Price Match (copied directly from THEIR STATEMENT!):

We will not match prices for competitors':

  • Category-wide or storewide discounts (I find this to be ironic b/c ToysRUs themselves frequently do 40% off all Trains or my Little pony items etc.)
  • Buy One Get One with purchase offers (this is a disappointment being such a broad exclusion WOW! BOO!)
  • Gift with purchase offers
  • Percentage (%) off discounts
  • Out-of-stock or limited quantity items
  • Doorbuster items
  • Prices advertised on Black Friday
  • Internet pricing for non-baby gear items
  • Coupons

So what's left? This is what they claim they WILL price match lol!:

Here are the guidelines:

  • Price Match is valid for in-store purchases only.
  • We will match all competitor store advertised prices.
  • We'll match Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com online pricing in our stores, except for online-only prices. (I find this to be funny that they will price match themselves haha--however they are generally out of stock for in-store pick-up but have plenty of stock on hand if you pay $$$ for shipping!)
  • Items purchased must be identical to the items advertised (e.g., brand, color, size).
  • The original, complete competitor ad, with valid dates, must be presented at time of purchase.
  • Prices are matched after deducting any Toys"R"Us and/or Babies"R"Us coupon savings and other offers from our price.
  • Price match is given at the time of purchase or within 7 days of purchase date with a valid receipt. (Doesn't it say 2 entries above that the original, complete and competitor ad with valid dates must be presented at time of purchase?)

Plus! We'll also match online prices for all identical items or models of baby gear merchandise from selected national competitors who carry a large variety of juvenile and baby products.

Additional guidelines for baby gear:

  • Online advertisements and prices from selected national competitors will be price matched in store.
  • Competitor shipping charges will be calculated and factored in the cost of the online price.
  • Baby gear includes the following items: high chair, play yards, swings, bouncers, entertainers, bassinets, doorway jumpers,
    jumperoos, car seats and accessories, strollers and accessories, shopping cart covers, bottle totes and changing pads.

Big Note: Program may vary by store.
