iPod shuffle inexplicably $6 more expensive in Canada

canuckshuffle 20080220 090038 iPod shuffle inexplicably $6 more expensive in CanadaI’m a Canadian with a realistic outlook on the Canadian dollar. The Canadian dollar isn’t strong, the American dollar is weak. What’s more, I don’t expect this to last. But in the meantime, I can’t understand how US companies can still rationalize charging Canadian customers more for the same merchandise.

Today, I found an email from Apple Canada in my inbox stating “iPod shuffle. Now just $55” That’s funny, I think to myself, it was $49 yesterday.
