I see that Stephane Erler has opened an online tea store ("tea boutique") to make purchasing his teas easier. Interestingly, he claims that he will charge customers in a variety of currencies so as to avoid exchange rate costs. This is great news for us Canadians.

Re: Tea Masters Tea Boutique
Currency-wise I'm not sure there's a huge difference. I will however say I've used the online site -- shipping was free and fast, things came well-packed and I already have more items in my cart!
Re: Tea Masters Tea Boutique
Ooh nice find! I ordered from him before, and this certainly beats requesting a price list.

Re: Tea Masters Tea Boutique
You have to pay to exchange one currency for the other so this saves people from currency exchange fees.
I doubt it will make much difference though, since Stephane Erler will need to exchange whatever you pay him to the currency he uses, and he's probably considered that.

Re: Tea Masters Tea Boutique
Agreed. Let's say that the exchange fees are included in his prices !entropyembrace wrote:You have to pay to exchange one currency for the other so this saves people from currency exchange fees.

Re: Tea Masters Tea Boutique
Ah yes. I see when I switch between USD and CAD prices for a tea that the exchange rate is taken into consideration. Oh well ....
I guess his statement " This means you can pay directly with your currency (via Paypal) without additional exchange rate costs." refers just to the conversion fee.

Re: Tea Masters Tea Boutique
Yep. I tried playing around with the currencies when placing my order; there was no real difference. Someone has to eat the cost of conversion and it's usually the customer.

Re: Tea Masters Tea Boutique
I just placed my first order. Bought some tea wares. They look quite good. Of course I will write a review when they come.
I'm excited!
