PAA’s Foreign Exchange Price Hikes

[Dav Cun]

I just been on the PAA website and noticed all their prices are in my countries currency. I thought great, until I looked at the prices. They are all round up to the nearest denomination, ie £21 not £20.64.
Something doesn’t look right here. I believe the owner Doug Smythe, or Erik Hodges what ever his name is, is pulling a fast one here.

25.95 USD is equal to 20.91 GBP.

Close. Bit of a round-up. However, you may find far-more-compelling reasons to be skeptical of that vendor.

Yes, I’ve seen post before. The guy, what ever his name is, is of dubious character.

He’s charging now £21 for a $24.99 Brush, plus another £15 shipping.

I choose to spend my money with other vendors.

I stay away from PAA soap but, their synthetic Shave Brushes are OK... IMO.

It wouldn't be the first time.

Avoid at all costs is my recommendation. There are better vendors, products and most importantly, people I would rather support.

Was at a shop today stocked to the gills with his product. Didn't even look at it. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Odds are his items like brushes and razors are just low-end stuff imported directly from China with his brand stamped on them. If you go to International Trade Databases for Import-Export Businesses | ImportGenius - https://www.importgenius.com/ you can see where a lot of the stuff comes from.

If you really want a brush or whatever from a Chinese OEM, odds are some other vendor is selling pretty much the same thing.
