[RIOTGAMES MERCH STORE] CDN Pricing not showing?

Hey Riot,

Two days ago, I went to the Riotgames merchandise store, selected "Canada" as my region (the flag icon didn't change, it was still USA], and added Urf the Manatee figure in my cart. The price of the figure was $25, and the shipping was $10.. I thought it was already in CDN, therefore I purchased it. However, when I checked my bank online, it says I spent atleast $47 CDN (somewhere there) in Riotgames Merch store. I felt bummed a little inside, I thought I payed $37 on the figure + shipping, but it seemed as if the price in the merch store wasn't in Canadian dollars.

Is this a bug that needed to be fixed? maybe you should fix this first before anything else. I do understand that the site is still in beta, but yeah... fix it asap.

I am not mad at all about my purchase, it was just a pain in the ass when I saw how much I spent, but when I thought about the "limited edition" on Urf's description, I told to myself "it will be worth it".

Also! may I ask you guys a favor? $35 CDN for a figure is umm.. in my opinion a bit too much? considering that some of the figures have flaws [makes them look "cheap"]. I bought funko pops once, they are only $15 each, they do have flaws as well, some of them have the same molds, and some have their own. Funko pops almost have the same quality as the figures from the riotgames merch store, the ones from the RGMS just have slightly better quality. However, now when I compare the $15 CDN figures to our $35 CDN figures, the gap between the the price is very big. $25 CDN would be fine, but $35? it's meh. Is there any way you guys can reduce the prices of your figurines?

Interestingly enough, I tried to change the merch store from the US to CA, and it failed. The US flag was still in the upper right corner. Odd. I tried turning off my pop up blocker and switching browsers, no difference. I tried clicking on Chile's, and while that successfully switched, it still displayed in US $ (with a very clear indication that it was doing so). The UK's shop does display Pounds, though, so I think it's just a case-by-case basis.

Seeing US when switching to CA may or may not be a glitch. Not clear. And yeah, I think everything in their merch shop is overpriced. xD

If you look at the links they both lead to the same site address.

Given that all the other countries have their own distinct shops, while the USA and Canada share an 'na' shop, I think it's intentional. Maybe they intended to have a conversion based on the country you choose, but if so I don't see evidence of it.
