Steamer: After we get producing these wands ourselves in the GTA, the prices for cleaners there for them will still be close to the $249.95 we are charging here now. Remember, if wands(with glides)could be sold in Canada by someone else for less than $299 Cdn, somebody else would already be doing it, and I can tell you; no one else is.Unfortunatly in Canada, there is just not alot of sales demand for wands. Ted would tell you that. In the GTA, the only wands that he sells go out with portable ninjas most of the time, with very few being bought as a stand alone item. That is why alot are not bought in in big quantities to get the shipping cost down.The average wand in Canada sells for over $500 Cdn as a result, without glides.

In the USA, it is a different situation. Because most wands are made there,and priced in the stronger US currency, the nomimal cost there is much lower. Because of this, many cleaners buy 2 or more wands for their TMS. Shipping costs are much lower as well, and when a distributor commits to by hundreds of wands per year from a wand manufacturer, that manufacturer will often drop ship the product, making 2 ship charges un-necessary.That is the difference. Right now, no wands are made in Canada in any kind of quantities to get costs lower here. That will soon change.

Nope, that aint it. The companies we buy these wands from wont drop ship to Canada for us because it being a different country. So in order to sell to Canadians up here, I have to have them shipped up to my warehouse in Calgary separatly, before I can ship them on from here. That costs much more money, and drives up the costs. The math looks like this:

SuperGlide SLU Wand.............$150US
Shipping to Calgary..............$89US

------------------------------------------
Total in US Dollars...............$239.00US
Total in Cdn Dollars..............$299Cdn(@1.25 exch)

So you see, Canadians are simply paying the higher costs(exchange and transportation) of getting them here. The regular price of $199.95US that we normally sell these for will be back in effect later this month. So this is a good time to buy for Canadians IMO.

Pay him with a US money order.  I guess he doesn't want to sell to Canadians. The US cleaners are easier prey?]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2005 15:36:06 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1818&PID=45865&title=have-a-question-for-the-pros#45865
