The Price Beat Guarantee (PBG) means that if you find a lower-priced identical item to that stocked by Officeworks (even if it's on sale), Officeworks will not only match it but beat it by 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the PBG, a Parents\u2019 Price Promise (PPP) exists specifically for school stationery items. More on that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What items does a Price Beat Guarantee (PBG) include?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It's quite logical really – items must be stocked by both Officeworks and the competitor and not meet the exclusion criteria mentioned below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're considering taking advantage of an Officeworks price match, then there are several exclusions <\/em><\/strong>to consider and save you the disappointment of missing out on a lower price:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Officeworks also reserve the right to limit sales to reasonable retail quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A customer can obtain the PBG by visiting the local Officeworks store or by toll-free Australia-wide calling 1300 OFFICE (1300 633 423). The PBG cannot be obtained via the online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And now here are the 3 steps for an Officeworks price match:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To obtain a price match in-store, you'll need to bring in evidence with you. As mentioned above, photographic or clipping evidence is usually sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you proceed to purchase the product from Officeworks, the discount for the price match will be applied at the checkout counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A word of warning – Officeworks staff may be required by management to contact the competitor to verify the price, should there be any doubt that the products compared are like for like, or the evidence you provide is questionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Officeworks Price Beat Guarantee includes products found online – as long as the item is identical and in stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Officeworks will assess the online store, taking into account the added cost of delivery to your location (if any), when determining the Price Beat Guarantee. If it transpires that the identical, in-stock product can be purchased and delivered to your location via an online store for a total price lower than the one Officeworks offers, they'll beat that total price by 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Officeworks does not state it, customers may be met with resistance to price-matching international-based merchants or those that are exclusively online. While there is nothing specific within the PBG itself, be prepared to accept ‘no' if management is unconvinced of your claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The price matching policy regarding volume is stated as a ‘reasonable retail quantity' – your guess is as good as mine as to what that may be, but don't expect an Officeworks price match on a pallet of goods or any office consumption volumes. You may need to visit multiple stores if that's what you need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the exclusions mentioned above, individual stores may argue that the spirit of the PBG terms and conditions include restrictions on price matching a competitor's products if they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The PBG is open to interpretation. You may even be able to score a PBG if you spot an item in any Officeworks advertising on sale, and discover it cheaper elsewhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paying with gift cards should also have no impact on your ability to score an Officeworks price match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no discernible price adjustment policy online for Officeworks. Consumers need to be educated prior to purchasing in-store. If you did indeed discover an item was cheaper elsewhere (even after a PBG), there are several things you could do to level the playing field:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The costs of any freight or postage of products to your address will be factored into any price-matching online requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If parents find a lower price on an identical stocked item on an official school list, Officeworks will beat it by 20%^.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This program is restricted to prices that appear on official 2022\/2023 School Lists and only up to the quantity listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Offer is also only available from 01\/10\/2022 to 5\/02\/2023 and cannot be used in conjunction with Officeworks\u2019 5% Price Beat Guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If saving money by price matching makes you happy, then you may be disappointed that Officeworks doesn't offer any additional value to be gained through Frequent Flyer programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, you can't earn or redeem Qantas Frequent Flyer Points<\/a> with Officeworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, you can't earn or redeem Velocity Frequent Flyer Points<\/a> with Officeworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, you can't earn or redeem American Express Membership Rewards<\/a> with Officeworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unsurprisingly Officeworks offers the Flybuys loyalty program<\/a>, due to it being owned by Wesfarmers. Other brands in the Wesfarmers Flybuys stable include Coles<\/a>, Target and Bunnings.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Officeworks does not appear to participate extensively in cashback programs<\/a> or promotions. Discounts for Officeworks via portals such as Shopback <\/a>border on non-existent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vouchers and gift cards can be applied in the shopping cart, online at checkout, as well as in-store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buy Now, Pay Later services (BNPL) have dramatically increased in popularity and the three of the biggest are now firmly established with Officeworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use Zip Pay to make purchases both online and in-store, up to $1,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use Afterpay to make purchases both online and in-store, up to $2,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can be sure that Officeworks will price match a like for like competitors' product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, provided the standard conditions of the PBG apply, the Officeworks price match will apply against JB Hi-Fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, provided the standard conditions of the PBG apply, the Officeworks price match will work for Harvey Norman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no reason why the Officeworks price match will not work for Kmart, even though Wesfarmers owns both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should not be surprising that the Officeworks price match will work with a competitor, Staples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tick. The Officeworks price match will work for BigW<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"officeworks](\"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/officeworks-price-beat-guarantee.jpg\")
