Sorry, but a 21% premium that the other fella calculated is nothing short of a rip off.

Dude...
Have you tested the site at all? Where do you see a 21% premium? Please! This is not twitter where you can post some Infowars nonsense and get away with it. No one has paid a 21% premium over live rate on our site. Period. Totally inconsiderate and false contribution to this conversation.

Any additional "contribution" to this Canadian thing can take it to PMs because fake information and outrage does not benefit anyone in the process. and I'm pretty sure non-Canadians here couldn't care less.

If you don't want to buy from us because you think we are ripping you off with FX rates, that's fine. We're sorry to see you go.

My calculation of 21% over mid market spot CAD/USD was 100% correct first thing this morning. You have since adjusted this to be ~3% - that’s very reasonable.

There was no lie. Just facts. Not sure where the anger is coming from. It was a legitimate concern, that you said you would fix and you did.

Sorry for pointing this out.

It never happened - we never sold an item with this FX rate, and never had the intention to. You jumped in within minutes of us starting testing and QC on the integration of Global-e, before we could even test anything. Looong before we even announced the addition of international shipping. Now this "information" is being repeated and used as source of outrage for something that literally never happened. It's inconsiderate and it's exhausting - I have better things to do than discuss the merits of something that never was.

Hey I don't know what's going on at your end that's leading to this, but just re-read my initial post. You've had a couple over the top responses here. A reasonable premium on currency exchange is fine. Seems like thats what you're intending.

I agree a further exchange here isn't helpful, and there's really nothing to talk about anyways.

You repeated inaccurate information that you had not checked and called us a rip-off. And my response was over the top? Please 🙄

random NMWA thoughts:

all a y'all that bought this shirt without the matching shorts, SMH
Beams_Plus_Japan_Open_Collar_Short_Sleeve_Silk_Batik_Print_Olive_Green_6_300x300.jpg


also, everyone is missing out on the 18E drop 1 vibes of this shirt:

Beams_Plus_Japan_Open_Collar_Short_Sleeve_Camp_Shirt_Block_Print_Burgundy_Blue_Tan_5_300x300.jpg


wear with navy shorts (those PF ones would be great) and huarache or light washed jeans and canvas sneakers

These Beams printed shirts are truly slept on. The Doppiaa ikat shirt jacket too. I think it’s hard to see how the print plays with the flapped pockets on product shots. It adds a nice dimension and volume to the printed fabric that takes it up a good notch from a more conventional printed camp shirt.

Not this time. Very small production numbers
Not sure how it's going to work, but please allow us to pay in USD.
I don’t believe that’s possible. I’m not going to ask why you’re asking that because I don’t really want to get into this FX discussion again
Hi! Are there more GRP drops or is that it until FW?
That’s it for spring summer. It was a huge shipment

I don't know where you live but if you're from Canada, they've made tweaks yesterday so that the price reflected to Canadians is much closer to the FX rate most credit cards would convert to if it was in USD. My concerns from my last post here have been alleviated.

Is shipping backed up due to the holiday this week and the sale the week before? Just checking as I placed an order a week ago and haven't yet received a shipping notice.
