Good news everyone! That wonderful little streaming device known as the Chromecast is finally available to Canadians through Amazon.com. That’s the good news. The bad news is that you’re going to be paying more than what you’d probably expect to pay for a $35 device. After shipping and import fees, the total works out to be $51.57. While it’s still cheaper than what some people are asking through private sales or through ebay, it’s still quite a hefty increase.
Just in case you’re unfamiliar with Google’s Chromecast device, it basically allows you to stream content from your phone, tablet, or laptop to your HDTV. Setup appears to be quite simple and device itself is very discreet. I’ll probably hold off on ordering one till it actually hits Canadian shores. I don’t overly feel like paying all those shipping fees
