Price Matching

First: Better feedback on Bridal Reflections in Carlye Place or Massapequa - and which consultant?

Second: If RK Bridal can beat their price, will Bridal Reflections match it.

Third: I heard that they 'waive' the tax if you ship to NJ. Is this true?

I keep posting blank replys because i get so exctied that I click on God only knows what!
2nd try-
I would call the manager at BridalReflections to see if they can work with you on the RK price. I am sure they can at least meet you somewhere in between! I have found most stores to be competitive. I am almost positive her name is Christine.

Re: Price Matching

Marnie was my consultant at the Carle Place location. She was very nice and helpful.

They showed me a dress which I ultimately purchased that exceeded the price range I gave them, when I mentioned it they did reduce the price a bit. This was without real haggling though. Since you saw the dress at RK you are at a better place for negotiation.

And yes, they will waive the tax if you have the dress shipped to NJ. I think it costs $75 to do that. You could inquire about having it shipped collect because I know it would be much cheaper that way, much much cheaper!!

Hi there. I bought my dress at BR in Carle Place and the service was great. Yes, they matched RK Bridal's price- actually they beat it. And if you ship to NJ they won't charge you take. Talk to Christina in Carle Place. Good luck!

Re: Price Matching

Yes they will match it or at least come close. Keep in mind that RK Bridal's lowest price includes absolutely no customer service (no measuring, no alterations, etc..) so it might be worth it to pay a little more.

Call Christina.

Re: Price Matching

Not too sure about the price matching...however I know they'll ship to NJ to save you the tax. It cost $75 - definitely speak to Christina.

Re: Price Matching

Is Christina the manager at BF in Carle Place? Also, I found RK's alterations to be MUCH more reasonable: $245 cap (including measuring, alterations AND bustle)! BF charges up to $245 and then an additional $95 for bustle. And, RK automatically offers to ship to NJ to save the tax.
