I was reading the other day an interesting article about the effects of a strong Canadian Dollar on the price of goods in Canada. Large retailers could have millions of dollars inventory purchased at a less favorable rate.It sometimes takes months to replace this stock with stock purchased at a better rate. The problem is that when this happens by the time the lower price goods have hit the shelves, the US Dollar has bounced back and the retailer really has no incentive to lower the price.
I hear guys all the time say "the dollar is good lets shop in Detroit or US mail order" What they don't realize is a small business with small inventory and small overhead can work to their advantage as well. If you order from Us today we price it and pay for it based on todays exchange rate, taking advantage of today's strong dollar.
Example An autometer 3904 tach is $201.99 at Summit plus 4.95 handling if you have a US address $24.95 plus shipping if you dont. Buying a US dollar with your credit card is about 2% So you are looking at 216.18 landed at a US address. Then you gotta get it into Canada.
My current price on that tach is $223.99 pick it up here, shipping included parts arrive every Wed and Friday.
Give Us a try, you might be suprised
