I was just about to order a pkg of 12 files on line from Cutters Choice in Canada.
I noted the website said American or another place to clix for Canadian prices.
The box of files was 14.95 Canadian or 10.95 American..
That is about 26% more for me to file my saw than someone in the USA...
Our dollar is worth a 5% premium.
Have I inhaled to much dust and gas fumes over the years or are we Canadians all crazy !!!
I checked a hard hat and I would have to pay 10.00 more to keep from knocking what little sense is left in my head out...
Plus all the items are being used in something I cant make any money at...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???
Our files are CSA approved and that costs big bucks. :D :D Seriously, prices of products originating in the U.S. should adjust downward once existing stock in Canadian warehouses is used up. I get chewed on about this every day. >:(
And we probably have enough files and hard hats in stock in the warehouses to last about....oh...15 years maybe. :D :D :D :D
Actually, my files are Swiss made.
Check out Baileys. There prices are in American Dollars. Just saved about $60 over what I used to pay for a roll of chain. 8) 8) 8) I'll order from the U.S. pay 10% customs fee and still get it cheeper than any where in the north. Although I have seen some Canadian companies that are adjusting their prices to the stronger Loonie.
