Went on about how I shouldn't buy from that other store because if anything happened to their MS contract b/c of their lower price, I wouldn't get my dress and they probably wouldn't give me my money back....the difference is $100, so not a huge amount - but still $100....to store with a sale associate with bad service....
They're both on MS website as authorized dealers. I think the sales person just want to make her/his commission. I was in the similar position, the store where I tried my dress was selling it for $1100, i decided to shop around and I ended up ordering from a different store for $800 (actually 700 + 100 for a rush order). I didn't even bother going back to the original store, they were both MS Authorized dealer and the store I bought from have been an MS Authorized dealer for years.
