misfish Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 With CTC being as big as it is,their buying power would lead to lower pricing. It seems to be not the case. Looking at all the candy they have at the hunting and fishing dept. I find their prices over priced. Looking at a lot os stuff I would want to buy,I could probly save 50-60 or so bucks,just driving down to Sail in Vaughan. Thats gas included. They (CTC) have the new Eskimo hub 3. 200 bucks more then I can get it from the new guy in town. Come on. Anyone else find CTC outragous in their pricing? Cant wait for Cabelas to open.

Twocoda Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 brian ...its inflated pricing is actually a genius marketing scam...they over price things so that they can put a yellow tag on it stating "regular XXX.99 now save 70%" Canadian tire wrote the book on this sales tactics...dont get me started on the Canadian Tire money laundering ...lol...

DRIFTER_016 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Got to admit CTC does have some decent sales. I often buy their tools when on sale. The latest item just last week was their 20volt lithium ion 3/8" drill and 1/4" impact driver combo complete with 2 batteries and charger for $150. My local store is the only store on the planet that stocks these!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrb2007 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) I wonder if they price match?? I'm with you Brian......waiting to Cabelas to open. 3 mins from my house. Edited November 2, 2013 by ckrb2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I wonder if they price match?? Most definitely, so I don't see the big deal. Bonus of 10% in funny money for your troubles as well. PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE -We'll not only match any competitor's price, we'll beat it by giving you an additional 10% of the lower price in Canadian Tire 'Money'*On an identical item. See in-store staff for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yep, I bought a transom mount 50lb thrust trolling motor from them, and got it for 10 percent less than the best price I could get it from Lebaron, who was incidentally the cheapest place around at the time. The store managers don't like doing it, but they absolutely will! I buy almost anything fishing or hunting related there, so long as I can find the item at regular price in the Lebaron (or other) catalogue, and as long as its the exact same product. Give it a try!

irishfield Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Then you didn't try hard enough or the product didn't match exactly. It's their written policy.. clear as a bell on the corporate website. If all else fails, I get Leah to call her God father... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Bought a battery charger there a couple of months ago. $120.00. Sure enough it was half price 3 weeks later, so I sent Nita back with the receipt. They told her that the sale price matching lasted only 14 days, and that she was out of luck. Nita then asked what the return policy was. 30 days. She came home with a $60.00 credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I found that out when a shower unit I bought to modify Jen's bathroom went on sale for 1/2 price, about 20 days after I had installed it. Went in with the receipt and was told.." sorry too much time has gone by. If you hadn't of installed or used it you could have returned it within 90 days". I said.. okay, I'll go buy another one off the shelf for 1/2 price.. go out that door and come back in this one with the old receipt and return it for full price. "Oh.. well.. never mind doing that.. here's your $99..." Edited November 4, 2013 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookinforwalleye Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I have a policy when it comes to purchases at CTC do not buy anything unless it's on sale. Personally I like the tire the only downside is the students they have working there assuming because they can pay them less....ask them something and you get that blank stare and the smell of burning brain matter!!!!

Inconvenience is the only incentive we have against the legal robbery phenomena that couponing created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Inconvenience"... if I was lazy the shower system would have still been in the box, not installed to the wall. Just pointing out the stupidity between their price guarantee policy (12 days) and their return policy (90 days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
