Shack Santa is ready for ordering

Sherri, I ordered my Santa. You are calculating the rates wrong. According to paypal, the US $ is worth less than the canadian $. Meaning that at today's rate, US orders would cost more than the canadian orders.

This what the PayPal message says today:

PayPal Conversion Rate as of Sep. 27, 2007: 1 U.S. Dollar = 0.975488 Canadian Dollars.

How is that saying the US dollar is worth less?

o.k. let me try to explain this better. If you give the bank $1 USA and ask for Canadian money in exchange, you'll only get back .975... So basically, for a change, we here in the US have to pay more for Canadian goods. Usually, when we exchange a US $1 for Canadian, we get back about $1.4 in return. Hope this makes more sense.

OMG! The lightbulb just came on, and I'm an idiot! Of course, you are right. I just couldn't get my head around it. And wow, I think this is the first time I can ever remember that the Canadian dollar was stronger than the USD. I'm off to place my order.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I checked the exchange rates today and the Canadian dollar IS stronger than the US dollar right now. I never would have believed it.

Sorry to cause a rukus, Sherry! I even emailed PayPal about it. Of course, I haven't heard from them yet, but now I have to tell them I'm an idiot too!
