Maybe there is an explanation but why canadian buyers have to pay more than all others, I mean in canadian dollars? For example we have to pay about $170.00 CAD more for a Kemper Power Kabinet than the exchange rate would suggest which is not the case for the US dollars or Euros etc.. So maybe there are fees that Kemper pays for us that are more expensive than the ones in other country? I don't know it seems to be the only one explanation apart that their exchange rate for CAD is wrong. Of course I sent the question to Kemper but I was wondering if some of you boys and girls are already aware of the answer.
Canadian Dollars wrong exchange rate on the Kemper shop website??...

It seems that this thread didn't generate much reactions...
But for canadian buyers it could be interesting to know the answer I got from the Kemper sales department. They said that the prices in CAD are not based on the conversion rate but fixed as they are for no reason. So I assume that we have to pay about 17% more for no reason at all... And, of course, it is impossible to pay in other currencies which would have been a good alternative. -
Really?

Inflation.
The Profiler cost $100 more this year over last year which isn't that bad when you consider almost every $700+ guitar costs $100 more this year. Next year may be worse.

Check out the other products. The Kab and Power Kab are significantly different from the rest of the line. I won't speculate on the reason, I'm sure you can come to possible reasons.

The price was even much higher than that until I called them out on it and they corrected it. Thankfully they lowered it.

Yes you're right. All of the Kabinet and Kone line suffer from this 17% jump in price which is not the case if I would buy a Profiler. I really would like to understand why?

In that case it is probably best to contact support, since sales people do not monitor his forum

Done! It would be nice if they could correct the price of the Power Kabinet before the boxing day since I could take advantage of the usual 5% discount!

I did it 4 days ago and I got no answer yet. Generaly speaking the Kemper support team is a lot faster than this to answer questions.

I’m ready to pull the trigger on a Power Kabinet…but this is a bit of a curve ball. Should I contact sales before I order?
-
There is no curveball, Canadians pay more for an unexplained reason ?♂️.

Buy one to a known address in Canada and one in the US. Return the Canadian one but send the US one back. Problem solved :).

Maybe I'm nut but I don't understand your trick at all...
Let see: 1) I'm canadian so I can buy one to my address in Canada 2) I'm not an american so I can't buy one in the US webstore because I have no address in the United-States. 3) Even if I could, I would just buy the US one... No? I'm lost!

It was partly a joke yes (and probably not very popular with Kemper). You'd need some way of buying a US version yes. A friend or similar.

Of course having a friend in USA who would be willing to do this would be a better deal, even with the shipping and import fees. But why would it be necessary considering that what we ask to Kemper is just to regulate the CAD exchange rate?

I never got an answer from the Kemper team. I hope they will erase, for the new year, the extra 17% we have to pay in CAD for the Kone and Kabinets products. And BTW Happy New Years to all of you Kemper users !!
