Been reading a lot of stories in the papers lately. Oh, you know, the ones where we keep hearing how our loonie may be at par, but our prices aren't. Well, it's true.
All you have to do is call/email any of our American competitors to see. Stuff like the Taurus 3 bandsaw I can actually buy at retail in Buffalo cheaper than I can buy it wholesale from our One and Only Canadian Stained Glass Supplier just down the street.
As a matter of fact, rather than see prices drop to accomodate the increased value in the Canadian Dollar, we just got a whole new set of pricesheets, with price increases of almost every item we sell averaging greater than 6%.
Another very exciting note tho'-
a couple of months ago, our OOCSGS was adding a 2.9% surcharge on all goods sold to us to cover the lower Canadian Dollar which was then at 99.5 cents.
That means that with our dollar now at $1.015, we should expect a rebate of 4%.
Yippee!
