Hello Coop Enthusiasts,

Part of the restructuring of COOP goes, among other things, to out to get rid of the online business and they are currently running something they themselves call a clearance sale. As a member, I continuously collect bonus points that can be used online and now I have sat and surfed for something to buy in order to use my bonus points before it is too late.

Immediately I think that it is quite expensive and there is not a large selection left either, but when you take a closer look at a single product like this Philips OneBlade then it’s hard not to get a suspicion that they might be quite creative in their pricing.

According to Coop, a OneBlade model QP6541/15 has a normal price of DKK 549, but can now be purchased for just DKK 379 + DKK 29 shipping – for the sake of comparison, we assume that no other products are purchased.

A search on Pricerunner shows the same OneBlade model can be bought for DKK 320 + DKK 39 shipping at the cheapest online store. Are we in for some classic creative manipulation with the pre-prices here, or have they just always been priced much higher than the competitors? In the latter case, one can better understand why they cannot get the business together.

COOP holder online ophørsudsalg, men er det billigt?

  1. Coop online shop har altid haft noget mærkeligt med deres priser. Prisen på Stort set samtlige af deres ting man kan købe med coop rabat er inflated. Uden coop rabat er produkterne dyrere end konkurrenterne, med coop rabat så kommer prisen ned på niveau med konkurrenterne.

  2. Onlinehandel er sted hvor du lynhurtigt kan sammenligne priser og kundeservice. Jeg er så vant til at køre alting, jeg køber, gennem henholdsvis Pricerunner (eller en anden prissammenligningsside) og Trustpilot, at jeg ikke kan blive sur på, at en eller anden butik har masser af dårlige tilbud. Det kommer simpelthen aldrig på min radar. 🤷‍♂️

  3. Jeg vil så dog sige, at jeg købte nogle babydan gitterlåger til vores hus der var sat meget ned, og det var med en bred margin det billigste sted at købe dem.

    Formentlig følger de bare reglerne omkring før-priser, ligesom alle andre butikker.  

    Så længe man rent faktisk har solgt varen til den høje pris i en måned før tilbuddet, så er der ikke tale om manipulation. Hvis man altid skulle gå ud fra markedspriser eller tidligere tilbudspriser, så ville der ikke eksistere noget der hedder tilbud.
