I’ve just had an email from a US customer complaining they’ve been charged double. I pointed out they’d bought from a UK site, marked up in UK £’s and that the difference was purely that their card had converted it to $ and they said they weren’t aware of a difference in currency values between our countries!
????????? 😯
erm, no, it’s not you! There does seem to be an element in the US (but not all of them of course…) who aren’t really sure there is inteligent life outside their shores 🙄
Doh! How strange when all through our holiday we had Americans comment to us that we “got” a good deal because of the amazing current exchange rate!!! Was the customer from the deep south??????
Well, they *are* American….
Well I’m not about to complain about all those American websites charging me half!
Maybe they don’t realise there IS any currency other than US dollars.
I agree with t-bird…*cringe* I find these sorts of stories make me want run down to home office to apply for a british passport!
and whileI never take offence to Americans being slagged off… Ouch! the dumb southener comment hurt, being a New Orleans native and all…
Ooops 😉 Glad it wasn’t me then 🙂
Actually, you saying that I was on a knitting website yesterday, thinking, ‘What bargains!’ It took me a moment to realise the site was American and the prices in dollars!! Oops!
ROFL! I have an American friend who still cant believe how cushy she has it!
