I bought a boat load of stuff back when the dollar was almost on par so to me this is still weak

Or buy on a big sale and get almost par again.
Just received my $515 CDN IRunGuns 10/22 VLEH Target Tactical a few minutes ago that was purchased over the holidays.
Turns out it's a Ruger 50th Anniversary version with the original spring bipod. Bonus! Can't get those any more and I also have a new model with the downgraded bipod so I've got both.

Thanks for the great product, fantastic sale pricing and excellent service IRG!!

Ditto, a 25% difference between dollar and peso is not a sign of strength on the Canadian side. Maybe when there is a 15% difference I'll return to the US market.

IRG has so many items I just can't find in Canada so despite the annoying currency stuff, I buy anyway. Thanks IRG.

I consider 90cents to the dollar strong. The exchange rate is still pretty bad

Same here. I don't by from the US unless we're near par. Sorry guys, just not worth it.....yet.

Considering is was 1.30 less than 30 days ago I would consider it pretty good.

Use a money broker. What you see online doesn't correlate to what you'll pay. Banks all exchange currency for a fee. Just because you see an exchange rate online, doesn't mean that you get to pay that. Look at where you will get your money from (usually a financial institute) they on average charge 3 cents on a dollar

Great advice

Good point! The AR I ordered just before Christmas would have been under $500 Cdn if it was to be ordered today. Not bad. And thanks for making interesting products available to us up here.

Exactly, currencies move much slower than bitcoin prices!

Not many businesses have any interest in predicting currency moves into their prices so I don't blame IRG in running their business exclusively in USD.

Pros in the finance industry have little idea where a particular currency is going next.

Canadian dollar is at 81 cents I don't see anywhere it being 1.24

 

[Mik123]

It's just the inverse ratio.

$1.24 is the cost of converting $1USD to $CAD. $0.81 is the cost of converting $1CAD to $USD.

Rogers Platinum MasterCard => 2.5% foreign currency transaction fee, but 4% rewards on US dollar transactions = 1.5% Net Reward

A quarter on the dollar, hardly strong...

A quarter on the dollar, hardly strong...

In January 2002 it was 1.60, and 30 days ago it was 1.30, I think it's fair to say the savings of $60.00 per $1000.00 at today's rate compared to 30 days ago is concidered positive...
