What's a realistic price match? I'm guessing its a price that will match or beat any others retailers price. If you can get it for the same price or even if you have to pay an additional few dollars I would make the purchase at West Marine, their return service is second to none and you will be dealing face to face with a human and not some phone prompts.
I've returned several items to them and have only had one issue, that was at the San Pedro store and that was the first time I tried to return something at that store, never again!!! I didn't give up so I made a trip to the Long Beach store, they took care of me......no questions asked.
This might help
