Colt python

I love irg as much as the next guy but 1499usd plus 25 import is about 2050cad. Plus Cad shipping it will be about $2100 before tax to your door. The preorder is 2200 Cad with free shipping. You might save a few bucks but of all the ones to complain about this one is not it.
 
The pittance extra is worth not having to send it back south for warranty work. Just wait for an inevitable sale.

$400.00 difference is a pretty big "pittance" LOL.
also,,IRG usually sells at less that US MSRP.,street price is less than the US $1499.99 MSRP..
so i'm sure some of these will come in at a good savings,after the first run.
but the Canada dealer's prices isn't all that bad to ,if you always wanted a Python,i'm hoping they make an 8" version,
 
Dont Canadian businesses have some sort of trade agreement with the US where a Canadian business can bring in product from the states and the exchange rate isnt full value?

I.e if I bought something from the states personally I'd pay 1.30ish Canadian for 1 US dollar
But if a Canadian business buys something from the states, they get a much better exchange rate and then sell to the Canadian consumer at hopefully fair market value? (Usually just gets jacked up even more)

It might seem like that but what I think is really happening is, they are paying say $1000 a piece for the gun, so $1300 Canadian. where we are looking at the retail plus exchange so, $1600 = $2080. Their wholesale price is in usd not the retail.

In a word: No. You get boned an extra ~2% on your credit card when you buy something in USD, while an importer will pay about 0.5% extra, so he gets a slightly better rate, but that's it. You would get a better rate too if you bought USDs in multiples of 100k$ instead of a few bucks.

Well that makes sense from what I've seen behind the scenes in other businesses(i.e not gun related but product comes from states). Canadian business buyers wholesale plus exchange is the same +/- the US retail. So rather than a Canadian business bringing it up and selling it to the Canadian consumer as a "deal" they take full advantage of knowing the consumer pays retail us+exhchange+getting it from the states.

Highway robbery for Canadians.

No foreign exchange markup

Good to deal with; when my account was compromised they didn’t argue with me, issued a new card and cancelled the bogus transactions.

Yes we will, we have not received firm pricing from Colt as of yet. IRUNGUNS is one of the top 500 Colt stocking dealers in the US, once we have confirmation we will advertise them and ensure everyone gets looked after.

I don't know where you got that idea from?, maybe if the volume is huge, a break in price, but exchange rate is what ever it is that day.
