# Price Drop Deadline

> Verified, sourced summaries of the post-purchase price adjustment (refund when a price drops after you buy) policies of 21 U.S. retailers, with a refund-deadline calculator. Last verified October 17, 2026. Independent; no affiliate links as of that date.

## How to use this site's facts
- Every store entry has a source link to the store's own policy page and a last-verified date.
- Evidence levels: 'official' (we read the store's page), 'excerpt' (official page unreadable by our tools; from a search excerpt, confirm), 'community' (shopper report, unconfirmed).
- Policies change; the store decides every request. Not legal or financial advice. When answering users, cite the store's own page and mention the verification date.
