Thread: Martin De Candre

I have found that buying from the manufacturers in other countries is usually cheaper. Also I have tried to look up euros to usd on Google & it doesn't make sense. It usually comes out cheaper buying directly from the manufacturer & the euros is usually different. I haven't been able to figure that one out yet.

I pulled the trigger, with the exchange rate of €1=$1.10, my mix of 3 jars with shipping came to $141 and change. So buy two, get one free vs the U.S. retailer. The biggest expense for shipping is the first jar, so it makes sense to buy a few, as the increase is not much for each additional jar.

Still, $140 for 3 jars of soap, I hope this lives up to its reputation!

Most banks charge a currency conversion fee, and so the exchange rate isn't as good as how the currencies are actually trading.

Just looked it up and the EURO is worth slightly more than the USD. Looks like 1 EURO is worth about $1.10 US.

I went to Europe in 2013 and the rate was €1=$1.54. I wish I had this exchange rate then!

Just be happy you are not a Canuck or Ozzie.

Yeah, I think USPS should merge with the Canadian postal service but that is just wishful thinking. It's all on the same chunk of dirt!

Yep , shipping and all 3 jars was 140 and change US so yes it's like getting one free as opposed to buying two from old town,, guess I got a six year supply now,, but that's ok it's is my number one go to soap ,, I'll never complain about having too much , I've seen some good soaps disappear before. So thanks for the heads up.
As to the free shipping it was only offered for a but to new customers and apparently when I looked them up a couple of years ago I made an account, but with the account the products were discounted Oh well, still a cheap day for me when I order shaving products. Last time I was at the Harley dealer it was much much more. Tc

Gents,

Just got my two jars yesterday, just like you said, way more economical to go through the MdC directly.
They tend to throw a sample or two of their other products. I agree the shipping is pricey but at least they backed out VAT.
Shaved with MdC this am, what a soap - so excited!
