What is in the price
- The appliance in dollars — manufactured and priced abroad.
- Shipping and duty — heavy units carry real freight, all FX-linked.
- Retail margin — set against the cost of restocking.
Timing and running cost
A fridge is a big outlay and runs for years, so both the purchase rate and the power source matter — the same dynamic behind other appliance prices and air-conditioner prices. If you are saving toward one, convert deliberately and watch the live USD rate rather than buying at a rate spike.
