All transactions are in US Dollars (USD). What
you see displayed in any given currency is a close conversion of the USD
price. The USD price is the standard--prices based on other currencies
fluctuate based on it.
Our currency converter shows you the price in the
currency you choose. But, the exchange rate is always based on how much
of that currency will equal the USDs.
Here's an example to illustrate. Suppose one of
the currency options is Martian Zulars (pretend they exist, for our
example).
- Monday, you check the price and you see it
takes 200 Zulars to buy Product A--which sells for USD $100.
- Tuesday, you check the price and you see it
takes 191 Zulars to buy Product A. Wow, a discount! So, you buy.
- Wednesday, the exchange rate fluctuates the
other direction and it takes 208 Zulars to buy Product A. And this
is when your credit card transaction goes through. You will see a
charge of 208 Zulars, not 191 Zulars on your credit card.
Mindconnection will always conduct the transaction
in dollars between your credit card company and Mindconnection. The
purpose of the currency feature is so you can see the price in the
currency of your choice. This is tied into a standard currency table.
The actual rate may vary from bank to bank, and so you may find this
differs from what your bank tells you.
If you're really worried about exchange rates, we
can accept a check in USD so you can get the rate on your own terms
locally. See: Mindconnection Alternate Payment Methods. Special notes for
international buyers of products that must ship physically:
- If you order from outside the USA, there will be
customs delays because of increased inspection of all packages in this
post-September 11 era.
- The spread of statism has resulted in out of
control, predatory taxation by nearly all governments. So even
though you have already paid tax on products from the USA (via any
merchant, not just us), you may have additional taxation in your
country. We don't vote your politicians in, so we can't control what
taxes you pay. If you order from the USA, you will likely pay VAT or
other sales taxes at the point of delivery--in addition to the
embedded tax present in all USA products. Consult your local
taxation authorities to see how much they are going to rip you for,
before placing your order. And vote the bums out of office.
