Hey Sean - not to be a dick or anything, but can anyone at Northern / Weathertech explain why after 24 months of Canadian money at par with US, why a Focus cargo liner is 143.00 here and 109.00 in the US?
I understand that the cost of doing business here is perhaps a bit more than in the US (actually our corporate taxes are the same as or lower than in the US) ... but certainly not 32% more.
This is the kind of thing that drives me and a lot of other Canadians off the deep end - this is why I go to the states every couple of weeks to pick up dozens of packages for me, my family and you guys. This is why I get up at 5:30 am on Saturdays to be at the border for 7:00 - because I refuse to support the inequity.
Bottom line: either Weathertech is ripping off Northern Performance, or Northern is ripping us off.
Unless someone has a rational explanation that makes sense I will not be buying weathertech in this country.
