Yes it seems strange to mention the forums, but the question is why would his non-Ozformers customers have anything against us? Are there TFI shoppers out there who are our enemies? :)Quote:

Probably talking about TCCA. Say one bad word about TFI there and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. In no time they're collecting pitchforks and lighting torches.
It's not entirely undeserved though.
I have a feeling they're talking about TCCA. They've mentioned repeatedly in the past that they feel that there are pro-Premium Collectable people in that group who are spreading disinformation about TFI.
Also, the USD thing was mentioned by TFI as a possibility a long time ago as well. They essentially said that the fall in the aussie dollar has caused them issues. I recall this because I thought that it was weird that an import business wouldn't have some sort of forex hedging system in place - and I was going to suggest some platforms for them to look into, but I didn't want to presume to tell someone how to run their business.
I do have a feeling there is 1 finger pointing this way. We were waying up the possibility they might be shutting down not long before his post went up and he mentions it in there somewhere, coincidence maybe? I think not
They still need to either take some classes on public speaking/writing, or hire someone to do it for them. So unprofessional with some of the things said...
They did say forums so I wouldn't be surprised if this one were included. Say anything remotely bad about TFI (even if justified) and it seems you're on their shitlist for life!Quote:

Are they simply switching currencies & charging people more, or is the USD price on par with the current exchange rate & existing prices?Quote:

Is probably a switch to allow other international customers.
If they use USD on an australian site (thinking from a business owners perspective) it could be to keep the prices true for them. So for example an MP will be $50 USD and given the fall of the AUD against the USD it would protect the business against possible loss.
The COST is the same for the business and the PRICE is whatever the conversion ends up being on the day for the customer.
Does that make sense? (any economic heads out there?:p)
Myers should start selling in usd?Quote:

As you said same for business, is a big turn off for customers considering rates fluctuate. Hence why people buy in aud so they know exactly what they are paying with no surprises.
If the product cost goes up you raise it in aud and that's what most Australian online stores do.
