Dell price match policy – how to get the best deal
Dell price match eligibility criteria - what qualifies for a match?
Dell Australia offers two pricing perks:
- A pre-purchase Price Match
- A 30-Day Price Guarantee after purchase.
✅ Before purchase: If you find a lower advertised price for the same Dell product on an approved Australian site, Dell will match it - provided the item is identical in model, configuration, and specs, and is in stock.
✅ After purchase: If Dell.com.au drops the price within 30 days of your purchase, you can request a refund of the difference.
Key conditions:
- The competitor must be an authorised Australian online retailer.
- Products must match exactly in configuration (verified by Dell’s E-Value code or Part Number).
- Dell includes shipping and GST when comparing prices.
- Bulk orders (over 5 units) are not eligible.

- Step 3: Provide the competitor’s link and price.

💸 After purchase (30-Day Price Guarantee):
- Contact Dell if Dell.com.au lowers the price on your item within 30 days of your invoice date.

They do not match:
- Marketplace resellers (eBay, third-party Amazon sellers),
- Overseas or grey importers,

📄 Proof required:
- Preferred: URL to the product page with the advertised price.

- Dell checks for identical E-Value code or Part Number, and that shipping/GST is included.
Exclusions & limitations - when price matches are not allowed at Dell
Dell’s price match won’t apply in these scenarios:
- ❌ Flash sales, limited-time “doorbusters”, or clearance deals,
- ❌ Coupon-based prices, rebates, or bundled offers (e.g., freebies or gift cards),
- ❌ Prices with membership requirements (e.g., Dell MPP, student/employee pricing),
- ❌ Items out-of-stock or on preorder,
- ❌ Dell Outlet or refurbished gear,
- ❌ Obvious pricing errors,
- ❌ Bulk/reseller orders (more than 5 units).
🛑 You also can’t stack a price match with another Dell promo. Choose one: the match or the promotion.
Recent Dell customer price match experiences
Success: One customer saved $100 on a laptop by matching a JB Hi-Fi online deal via Dell chat. Done in minutes with no fuss
Denials: Some users report Dell reps being overly strict and rejecting matches for regular sales or minor differences (like warranty or shipping terms).
30-Day Refund Success: Several buyers reported easy refunds when Dell dropped prices post-purchase. But Dell only honours one refund per item, so time your claim wisely.
