Dear Listmates -
When the terrorist attacks occurred, I watched the news hour
after hour, horrified, and ended up with severe colitis attacks from
nerves.
I haven't had colitis since before I was diagnosed, two years ago.
To momentarily distract myself after several hours of watching the news,
I decided to order a gluten-free treat - anything - from anywhere, at
that point. I was deeply depressed, and my body always turns on itself
under stress. I have Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis, too.
I went to Panne Rizo's Web page, and considered ordering. I noticed that
the description page had the price in Canadian dollars, then the order
page had the price in US dollars, but for the items I wanted, it was the
same number of dollars, without any apparent conversion factor.
For example, on the applesauce spice bars (I think that's the name),
they were $.99 in Canadian dollars on the initial description page, then
6 for $5.94, I think, in US dollars on the order page.
Well, $5.94 in US dollars is about $9.31 Canadian. At $.99 each on the
initial product description page in Canadian dollars, Canadians are
paying $5.94 in Canadian dollars for six bars, and US residents are
paying $9.31 Canadian dollars or $5.89 US dollars for the same six bars,
if my logic is correct.
I emailed Panne Rizo that day about this, and received a reply I would
call judgemental or critical - telling me they would respond after a
respectful amount of time had passed. I never heard from them again.
(They aren't in the US, either. I think they are in British Columbia.)
Until we find out what is going on with their pricing - and if they are
using the conversion factor for Canadian dollars to US or not - I
recommend that no one order from them. We should be paying a price that
takes into account the conversion factor, or, if there is an error in
their column headings or pricing, they need to correct it.
