Revolt from Canadians over prices

Are you setting Canadian and US prices the same?

[lgn1]

Our website offers Canadian and US prices based on the location of the user (Canada or US).

Since we dropship from our distributors US and Candian operations, our prices are dependent on the distributer getting its act together on price parity.

For us to do price parity, we need price parity from our Canadian distributer, or to take a loss on our Canadian margins.

This is the time of year when our distributers sets their 2007/2008 prices. We are hoping to see price parity or something close to it, so we can offer the same prices in Canadian as US dollars.

Anybody else having luck with distributers on price matching?

If you sell retail basically prices are dependent on the exchange rate. Amazingly, the Canadian dollar is currently worth just about as much as an American dollar. We'll be in real trouble when the Peso becomes worth a dollar.

Exchange rate as of 2007-10-28
$1 USD = $0.9619 CAD
$1 CAD = $1.0396 USD

Not just about the same but CAD is worth almost 4% more. This is very substantial. 6% is uncharted territory which happened over 50 years ago.

My web site now charges more in USD than CAD
