Canada/US pricing - Synthetek & LBA

[finny]

With Canadian dollar getting closer to being on par with USD, is there any plan for Synthetek and LBAs to adjust their pricing to reflect the currency change? Or, give an option of paying in US dollars but shipping to Canada?

I know some online retailers that have Canada/US presence started doing that already - trueprotein comes to mind.

Thanks.

It's already happened since yesterday on Synthetek.

But it's not because of the US$. Prices in the US should have increased because of the US$. The US$ prices are not indicative of the world market products.

The reason why prices have dropped in the US, Canada, Australia and NZ for Synthetek products is because of greatly increased production of Synthetek products due to hugely increased sales, but shipping fees (which are provided for free by Synthetek) have not increased to those countries.

Synthetek prices have not dropped for the Euro, Asia and Africa countries because shipping fees to those zones have increased exponentially. The savings made per manufactured item are lost on the increased shipping fees to those zones.

Thanks BigA.

I'm not sure what the prices were like before, but to give you an example:

Synthergine is $60USD for US or $80CAD for Canada. Still seems to be a discrepancy there. If I paid in USD, it would cost me $62 or so in CAD after the conversion. Am I wrong, are there any other factors?

Synthergine is $69CAD.
Also, Canada is in a different shipping zone than the US. Not as expensive as EU, but more expensive than the US.

Thanks, I see it now. I was looking at one screen (where you press purchase and select your region) and it is not updated yet, hence the confusion.

I just saw the price drop. YAY. I grabbed a few bottles of SYNTHEROL today.
