USD/GBP: Brit goods less expensive now?

**ptyrider** · 01-01-2009, 02:41 AM

Given the strength of the dollar nowadays, if we charge in pounds, don't we get a comparative discount? Seems to me that the Brit sites don't reflect the latest exchange rates if you choose dollar prices.

Anybody had any experience w/ this recently?

I bought some stuff from The English Shaving Company and their prices do reflect the latest exchange rate. I guess it depends on the website...

Holy SCAD, Batman! GFT creams are almost $12 cheaper at this site! I wonder if it is still a good deal after shipping. Let's see.....

Wow, I'm quoting my own post...is that bad form?

Anyway, it is a good deal! You'll need to get more than one item to be able to take advantage of combined shipping, but that, plus the fact that your tax is deducted=SCAD nirvana!
