Good News for US Customers

Post by Armortek »

I have just checked the exchange rate and the dollar is now higher than I have seen it since we have been running Armortek!

At around 1.62 dollars to the pound, £1000 pounds will now cost you about $1620 dollars as opposed to over $2000 not so long ago when the rate was over 2 dollars to the pound.

As an example at today’s exchange rate a King Tiger kit with delivery would cost approximately $6147 as opposed to over $7590 when at 2 to dollars to the pound. Thus saving $1,443!

So looks like a good time to get your orders in!

This will not offset the cost of my divorce if another tank should appear in the garage. Still.

I observe how the US dollar started to gain strength only well after my Tiger I with all its pieces parts were paid for and delivered. Did I mention shipping prices have dropped since too?

Would I be paranoid to consider this might be some internationally coordinated conspiracy by the world banks and markets designed to make me look even more ridiculous to my wife? :shock:

I've been checking this rate almost daily Gill. Its now $1.58 since your post. Im betting we see 1.50 in the next 2 weeks. Ill be ordering the motors for my Panther before this is over.
Maybe you should post somewhere on the site what models you still have in stock. :wink:
