The typical excuse is that retailers buy their inventory months in advance and so current prices reflect where the dollar was 6 months ago (or so).

It will be interesting to see what Lowes does since (presumably) they are purchasing new inventory to stock their new Canadian stores. Of course it's quite possible (and very likely) that they've already bought much stock over the past few months - while the dollar was a little lower. So prices will still be higher than at U.S. stores.

Hey we're Canadian. We're used to paying more and we don't complain (much). :lol:


As much as we'd love to see prices drop because of our strong dollar, it's important to realize that price is not solely determined by cost. Supply and demand will still dictate the prices that we pay in our market. If demand for a product remains the same at the old price, the price won't drop. All it does is allow the company to have more (much more) breathing room to lower their prices in response to our changes in demand or through increased competition. Changes in demand are most clearly relayed to the sellers when consumers find alternate ways to get their products (buying stuff in the states). They are not going to just lower prices to be nice to us. Competition will slowly bring them down.

Any suggestions for stores within the GTA? We cheked out Home Depot but it seemed pricey.


A lot of the stores that specialize in those products are okay for price, like Covers or Blinds to Go.

The trade off is they screw them up constantly, and so it can take 2-3 tries and a couple weeks to actually get your blinds.

I strongly recommend Blinds to Go, for their price, and their after sales service. The gears recently broke on our patio blinds, which we purchased almost 5 years ago. I called the Oakville Store, and they were able to find our order on their computer, and repaired the blinds FREE OF CHARGE...they definitely honour their lifetime warranty. I noticed another post said they lose orders, but in our experience, that's never been the case. The orders arrive really quickly, and have always been exactly what we ordered.

He will come over and show you the blinds before you buy them - we had him come 2 or 3 times before we actually made our purchase. He is reliable and trustworthy - I recommend him.

Hi Valerie and guyinmilton,

Do either of you or anyone else who used KC Blinds have any photos of their blinds/shutters that were installed? If someone could please post? I would really appreciate it...

Thanks,

Stephanie
