IQAIR - AUSTRALIAN PRICING POLICY
Many people ask why IQAir products in Australia appear more expensive than those they find on USA websites. Exchange rates, sales volume differences, long distance freight costs, port handling, duty and GST must all be considered when importing products into Australia and account for such differences.
Also, the current high exchange rate between the US dollar and Australian dollar does not apply since the currency used by IQ Air is the Swiss franc (CHF). The CHF has remained consistently stronger than the AUD and there are therefore no exchange benefits involved.
IQAir Switzerland provides a RRP (Recommended Retail Price) for all its products in Australia. Air Cleaners Australia prices all of its IQAir products at or below the IQ Air RRP.
IMPORTANT: Units from the USA are 110V/60Hz wired and will not work on Austraila's 240V system without a high quality transformer. Long term operation with any transformer or "voltage regulator" is not recommended by the IQAir manufacturer and voids any warranty. |
