Yea, I am going to get more red than any other thread. Being the poor messenger.

This is currently on their website:

"Post-Order Price Guarantee
Amazon.com's prices for released items will change from time to time based on a variety of factors. If Amazon.com's price for an already-released item decreases within 30 days after we ship the item to you, we'll be glad to refund the difference in price if you contact us within that 30-day period. Please click the Contact Us button on the right side of this page, and be sure to have your order number handy so we can assist you.

Price guarantee request must be received within 30 days of the date the item was shipped to you.
Applies only to items sold by Amazon.com, and not to items (or prices) offered by other sellers on our site.
Item prices that are affected by a promotion such as "Buy one, get one free" are not eligible, unless the same promotion is also offered at the lower price.
The price of an item after rebate is not considered to be the Amazon.com price.
Applies only to products that have already been released. Products that have not yet been released but that are available for pre-order from Amazon.com are not covered by this guarantee, but do benefit from our Pre-Order Price Protection program (see section above)."

Where are you getting your information from?

Yea, I know. Of course it's on their site now. But the email says "Sep 1". So we need to check on Monday.

THIS IS TRUE!!!

It appears that someone received an e-mail when requesting a refund recently with the following message.

"Thank you for contacting us to take advantage of our Post-Order Price Guarantee. I've confirmed that we now offer a greater discount on xxxxx than at the time you placed your order.

Since your purchase shipped within the past 30 days, I've requested a refund of $x.xx to the original payment method used for your order. This amount reflects the difference between the price you were originally charged for the item and the current price offered by Amazon.com. This refund should be processed in the next few days.

"Only orders placed before September 1, 2008 are eligible for a price difference refund under the Post-Order Price Guarantee policy. As of September 1, 2008 we are no longer offering discounts if prices change on our website after you make a purchase."

I wanted to check this out if it was true. Searched for price guarantee on Amazon and found this page at http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=468502#guarantee. Note that the section where the Post-Order Price Guarantee verbiage should have been is now missing. I will be more cautious of purchasing items from Amazon since their 30-day price guarantee was a major factor in my purchasing decision. My B&M stores have 15 to 90-day return policies depending on the store and item purchased. Plus the price of the same item fluctuates very often, sometimes even on the same day.

they'll still have a 30 day return policy, so just return and rebuy, or if you think it's a temporary price change, do a rebuy and return

but some return reasons will only refund price minus cost to ship back.

I don't discriminate against other retailers for not having a price guarantee, but I probably will for Amazon. Their prices are so volatile, I've seen a price drop several times within a week or so after ordering.

It's still there.

You STILL have to pay return shipping. Amazon does not pay return S&H unless ythe product is defective/damaged/missing items and if you claim too many of those Amazon will give you the boot.

Agreed. With Amazon you MUST nod your head and fear them like the Gestapo. Else, they will ban and send insulting emails to you (along with spam, even though you wont be a member, you cant be delisted for their spams).
