[quote name='Azumangaman']Just so you guys know, that means if you ordered anything from the US and is shipping today, I'm pretty sure you'll be charged the exact amount by your credit card. For example, if you have a $100 USD order, it becomes a $100 CDN order (I think).[/quote]unfortunately that is not the case, whatever price you paid for that day, it will stay that price, exchange rate fluctuations after the moment of payment will not affect how much you paid for it
[quote name='nonrandomhero']should have thaught of that before voting him in 2 times to put you guys in debt over this now pintless war.....
and personally i would rather the US dollar go higher.
if the canadian dollar is worth more it will be cheaper to produce products in the us, and seeing as thats where the bigger market is it would just make sense to produce there anyways.... if all the US companies move out it will cause thousands, maybe millions of people to lose their jobs......
the US already has cheaper labor than we do and now its actually cheaper to produce products there.....[/quote]very true, our tourism industry will get slammed as well, since the USD is pretty much on par not as many Americans will come up for travelling
[quote name='GameDeals.ca']Is the savings really worth the hassle & wait at the border crossings? Hopefully, the prices here will match the US soon enough anyway.[/quote]ebay and online shopping is always a viable option, no tax, no need to leave your home and you're exempt from items $20 and less marked as "gifts" at the border
currently the Canadian dollar is worth 1.003 USD, gonna go pick me up about 1k USD tm, keep in mind guys that you'll be charged roughly 2-3% from the CC company or most money exchange places when you convert, unless of course you have contacts
