I recently tried to purchase a Car Alarm from Best Buy. Iwas told that it would cost a MINIMUM of $699.99 to install in my 2010 Ford Expedition.

I found an identical item on Amazon for $260 less, so I contacted Best Buy (4 seperate times)

amazon.com/Viper-5706V-Security-System-Remote/dp/B00GT2GA6Q/ref=sr_sp-btf_title_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1388331889&sr=8-5&keywords=viper+5704

This Viper 5706V was priced at $239.99, fulfilled by Amazon, and ironically had a link in the product description to the Best Buy item SKU 1625756 from Best Buy online.

bestbuy.com/site/viper-responder-lc3-2-way-remote-start-and-security-system/1625756.p?id=1219057463066&skuId=1625756

That meets all the requirements on the LPB FAQ's

bestbuy.com/site/Payment-Pricing/Best-Buy-Low-Price-Guarantee/pcmcat297300050000.c?id=pcmcat297300050000

On call #3, I was told by a Cutomer Service Rep that it lacked the LPG logo, and that was the reason they woulnd't honor thier policy. So I found that item WITH the logo online as well;

Best Buy has an in store  price of $499.99 for JUST the item

They also have a link bestbuy.com/site/viper-responder-lc3-5706v-2-way-remote-start-and-security-system-geek-squad-installation/9999212600050001.p?id=pcmprd211500050001&skuId=9999212600050001

They also have a Installation included bundle, ironically also for $499.99

bestbuy.com/site/viper-responder-lc3-5706v-2-way-remote-start-and-security-system-geek-squad-installation/9999212600050001.p?id=pcmprd211500050001&skuId=9999212600050001

After visiting 3 storees, and speaking to 2 Managers and one Geek Squad Member they came down in price to $672.00 Just the item price difference alone should have resulted in a $360 savings. Not the $29 they were willing to give me (and I would have paid $31 in taxes, as opposed to free shipping from Amazon)

 

In the end, they wanted almost $450 to install a $240 item. Best Buy is a RipOff in my opinion, and I hope you do not do business with them. They are dishonest.
