Splitcoaststampers - View Single Post - Are Canadians Paying Too Much For SU Products?

So a few years ago we sent in our complaints to SU about our dollar being Par or close to Par with our US neighbors. SU listened to our grievance and did the right thing by lowering the Canadian prices.

We have now been at Par or sometimes even greater than the US dollar for a very long time, however SU has not adjusted prices accordingly.

For example:

Apothecary Accent Framelits Dies are $24.95USD and $31.95CAD. That is a staggering price difference.

Basic Black 8 1/2 X 11 CS is $6.95USD and $8.50CAD

Al Punto wood mount stamp set $32.95USD and $40.95CAD

These are just a few examples of some of the price differences that just blow me away!

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that my US buddies are getting a great deal, I just think it might be time for us Canadians to write to SU again and see if they will listen like they did in the past.

I understand that we may need to pay a little more for our product because they must ship it cross border but $8 more for a stamp set or Die seems a little extreme.

What do you think?

You can write to SU at ds@stampinup.com if you would like them to review their Canadian pricing.
