US$ to AUD$ conversion

Thread needs solution

I was intending to buy the plus pack today.
On the website in US$ it was tagged at 29.99 but when I changed it to AUD$ it increased to 39.99.

Given that the AUD$ is almost at 1.10 of the US$, I would have expected the price to go down to at least 27.50 or remain about the same.

I contacted the local Acronis dealer, they couldn't help me over the phone and suggested a local retailer who was twice as much again (almost 90).

Any idea when the conversion might change/be updated?

Andrew,

I think Acronis still use Cleverbridge who decide the rate, but I agree I would expect it to be nearer AU$16.46.

I see where Cleverbridge have got the price from, so if your debit or credit card allows foreign purchases I'd select the US$ price and wear the 3% conversion charge from the transaction.

Did you contact Mannacom in Brisbane as they are the local agent?

I had considered buying it in $US but didn't.

Manacom went into receivership a few months ago.

I ended up calling someone @ Acronis in Sydney.

Cheers
