Dear Consumer,
We often hear from people commenting about what
they thought they were going to pay, and what they ended up paying, when
they purchased from some foreign companies on-line. We have some
guidelines for you in order for you to make an informed decision.
To begin with: Our prices are in American
dollars; what you see is what you will pay if you live in America.
You would be wise to check out an independent site such as the Federal Reserve
Board of New York which posts exchange rates daily. You can find
them at www.x-rates.com .
This is how you can find out what the exchange rate will be:
1) Find out what currency you will be billed in.
Most websites will say it. Ours is American dollars.
2) Some web sites list products and ask you to
click on YOUR currency. INSTEAD, CLICK ON THEIR CURRENCY(say British
Pounds) and then go to the link we've given you here (or call your bank)
and multiply the British pound price by the rate you see on the
exchange table. You might find some websites that have an exchange rate
which differs from an independent website or your bank's rate.
You will have to decide which one is more accurate.
3) Don't forget that your shipment is subject to
import duties if it arrives to you from outside of the country. By law,
this can add 30 to 40% depending on what you order. Consult your US
Customs Office at www.cbp.gov for
current rates of duty.
4) Order from J.
Higgins
and you will be billed in US dollars for the price quoted on our web
page. If you are ordering from J.
Higgins
from outside of America PLEASE consult your local bank and Customs office for
current exchange rates and proper duties based upon our stated US rates.
We want you to get the best deal regardless of where
you purchase. Part of customer service is taking the time to give
customers as much information as possible in order to have them make the best
decision. We will look forward to being of service.
Sincerely,
John
Higgins
