FAQ
- If I find a lower price online, you will beat it by 10%?
Yes. It's our very simple price match policy. We'll not just match the competitor price, we'll beat it by 10%. If you find the exact same item (product and color) in stock on another authorized seller's website for a lower total price, we’ll beat that price by 10%!
The price match guarantee is for the entire order cost, including shipping.
Example: www.Xyzbags.Com has a handbag for $100 and charges $10 shipping. Our site has the same handbag for $105 with free shipping. Our competitor's price is $110, ours is $105. In this case the price match would not qualify as we are the lower total price.
Alternatively, if www.Xyzbags.Com offered free shipping, their total cost would be $100. Therefore the price match would qualify and your price would be 10% less than $100 = $90. Please note that any of our promotions or platinum rewards will be applied first when dictating if our price match guarantee will apply. Also, free promotional items are not included in combination with a price matched order.
Generally, auction sites do not qualify because these are not authorized sellers. Always contact us with your question and competitor pricing and we will review it.
How to get the price match verified and adjusted:
Option 1. Call us toll-free, 888.402.2247, M-F from 10:30am – 5:30pm and Saturday from 10am – 5pm to place your order over the phone.
Option 2. Click on the live chat button on any page of our website. As long as it says ‘click here for live support’, you’ll be able to chat live with one of our associates who can take care of you.
Option 3. Email us directly at orders@materialgirlhandbags.com with your price match information and we will then email you an invoice. You can pay the e-invoice directly with any major credit card or paypal.
Option 4. Order directly online. In the comments section during checkout, enter all the price match information. Our staff will review it and refund your order accordingly if it is verified. If it is not verified, we will contact you before proceeding with your order.
Additional conditions:
1. Do you have a bag on hold and now see it lower elsewhere? If the bag is still available for sale on our website, the price match policy would apply. If we are sold out of the bag (in other words, your held bag is the last one left), we would only match the price you have found it for but not beat it by an additional 10%.
2. Are you a platinum member or do you have other promotions you want to use? These promotions are always applied first. If after these promotions our price is lower, the price match would not apply. If the competitor price is still lower, our price match policy will apply. Platinum rewards and promotions are not applied in addition to the 10% price match policy.
3. The bag must be in stock on the competitor website and it must be the exact same bag and color. In other words, if another site is only discounting the red style of the bag and not the black, only our red matching bag would qualify for the price match.
4. Do you have a bag on hold and want to apply the price match but don’t want to pay for the bag yet? In order to qualify for the price match and have us beat it by 10%, you would need to pay for your held bag while the competitor’s price is still available at the lower price.
