HP Price Match and Price Protection Policies

HP Price Match (before purchase)

At the time of purchase, HP.com will match the current direct‐fulfilled, pre‐tax price for new "Comparable PCs" and identical HP printer, display, and accessory model numbers from any nationally recognized on‐line retailer, such as Dell.com, Lenovo.com, Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, TigerDirect.com, Newegg.com and Staples.com. Just call 1‐800‐888‐0229.

"Comparable PCs" are defined as desktops and laptops manufactured by Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, Samsung and HP which have the same specifications (screens, touch capability, operating system, processor, memory, hard drive, optical drive, graphic cards and all other product features) as an HP PC listed on the HP.com Store.

Please call us to request a price match and to complete your new purchase as price match requests cannot be completed via e‐mail or chat. When you call, please tell the sales agent:

  1. The Comparable PC (manufacturer and detailed specification) or identical HP Printer, display, and accessory model number offered by the specific nationally recognized on‐line retailer.
  2. The direct fulfilled, pre‐tax price and the steps you took to get to the price.
  3. The applicable PC, printer, display, or accessory on HP.com.

The HP.com sales agent will review and verify the price match request with you on the phone, including determining whether the entity is a nationally recognized on‐line retailer, verifying whether the PC is a Comparable PC or whether the identical HP printer, display, and accessory model number is sold on HP.com, and checking the lower price and the availability of the product on HP.com. Price protection, price matching or price guarantees do not apply to Intra‐day, Daily Deals, in‐store only, or limited‐time promotions.

When does the Price Match Policy not apply?

This Price Match Policy is limited to one price match per item, per guest and does not apply to: prices offered by any person or entity other than nationally recognized on‐line retailers; the online prices of third‐party vendors designated on any nationally recognized on‐line retailers' websites. The Price Match Policy does not apply to membership stores such as Costco and Sam's Club or used equipment sellers such as eBay.

What if I have a coupon or special discount for the retailer's site?

Price matching does not apply to designated online retailers' coupon or special discount offers.

Are competitors' services eligible for price matching?

What if the nationally recognized online retailer does not have the item in stock or has limited quantities of the product?

If the item is out of stock or if the advertisement is a limited quantity item, it is not eligible for price matching. Likewise, if HP.com has a product that is advertised as being limited in quantity it will not be eligible for price matching.

Does HP.com match trade‐in value and offers on trade‐in products?
