If we are not able to verify the lower price and product availability from a qualifying retailer, we may decline the request.

  • Pricing due to typographical errors
  • Personalized offers that we cannot directly verify itself through public-facing advertising, online or otherwise

  • Local Retailers
  • Warehouse Clubs such as Sam’s Club, Costco, etc.
  • Outlets
  • Products sold on online marketplaces (including those run by eligible retailers) and/or product sold by third parties on otherwise eligible retailer sites (including resellers)

 

Products and Services - the following products/services are not eligible for price matching:

  • Custom or personalized products
  • In-store services pricing and warranties
  • Shipping, delivery, and assembly fees
  • Financing offers
  • Trade-in offers
  • Refurbished product
  • Pre-owned, gently used, resold, demo, or floor-model product

  • No. Due to the differences in services being performed, Public Lands does not match retailers' service prices.
  • This includes but is not limited to delivery, installation, bike repairs, skate sharpening, warranties, and golf services.

  • No. Public Lands does not match retailers' financing offers or financing offers that differ between our stores and PublicLands.com. But you can buy a product, get a price match, and still use our low- or no-interest financing plans on your original purchase.
  • Public Lands also does not price match to a retailer's price that can only be received when using the retailer's credit card.

  • This does not apply to backorders or pre-orders/pre-sales on a retailer's site. The qualifying retailer must have the item in stock and the ability to place an order for the item to be eligible for price matching.

  • Public Lands matches the pre-tax price. We do not take sales tax into consideration for price match purposes. We will not override sales tax to match a retailer's price.
  • Public Lands may run tests of the Best Price Guarantee in select locations and may amend the Best Price Guarantee price matching program at any time.

  • Public Lands reserves the right to deny purchase and limit quantities for price matching. 

Requesting a Price Match

  • Present the qualifying retailer's sales ad to a Public Lands Guide/Store Associate who will review the sales ad, and if qualified, the Store Associate will execute the price match right at the register.
  • If the price cannot be validated (all conditions), we may decline to price match.
  • For print ads, the original ad must be provided, not a copy. For online ads, the URL to the offer must be provided so that we can verify the offer; a screenshot will not qualify, as we cannot verify the online offer.

  • When making a purchase or during the allowable price match period of 14 days, please make your price match requests from the chat on PublicLands.com.
  • When you have the link to the eligible price ready, reach out to our team via chat and tell us about the lower price that you want Public Lands to match, including the link to the eligible price.
  • Public Lands customer service will review, verify your price match request, and place the order on your behalf. Please note, a screenshot will not qualify, as we cannot verify the online offer.
  • NOTE: PublicLands.com price match requests may also be made via phone by calling our customer service team but are NOT able to be completed via email.

Post-Purchase Inquiries

  • No problem! You have 14 days from the date of purchase to take advantage of our price match program.
  • For an in-store purchase, just bring your receipt and qualifying retailer's sales ad, and a Public Lands guide will review and verify the price match.
  • For online purchases, contact customer service via chat or phone and have a live link/URL from a qualifying retailer ready to share! One of our guides will review and verify the price match. 

Dollar off promos, percent off promos, and loyalty point promos cannot be applied to past purchases. Please see our eligibility FAQs to see more about what we would honor for a price match.
