Had me do a double take. Works Inc store would be sickk

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Was the site-wide increase in pricing announced anywhere?

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot, I think you just happened to be looking whilst I was looking at some options on the phone with a Canadian retailer. Our pricing is set in USD alone; we have fixed exchange rates with the other currencies we accept on the site, including CAD (which I assume is your local currency). The reason we do this is so that stores around the world do not need to update their prices daily as the USD and their local currency fluctuates.

The current fixed rate is extremely outdated with the actual USD/CAD rate (1.235 vs an actual of 1.36).

We need to bring this closer in line with the actual Fx to maintain pricing parity between retailers around the world. We will be sending an email out this week with full details and timelines

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

closer as in 1.237???

[Alex]

Haha, sorry mate. I know it will not be ideal for you Canadians, but the good news is that it swings both ways, so as and when USD/CAD shifts back down, we will track it back down too

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

It was fun while it lasted….

Where's the downvote button...but understandable as the Canadian dollar has crapped out.

Edit: we just just finished purchasing our yearly Caribbean vacation package in USD...definitely not in our favour.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

I’m grateful we can pay in CAD on the IHUK site - leaving conversion to the banks or credit card companies is just brutal.
