Have any of you managed to buy a Qi charger for the Nexus 4 (aside from the official one - doesn't work with my Ballistic case) that's actually available in Canada?
I've heard good things about the WCP-300 but it's not available here. Even the Nokia chargers that don't work with the N4 aren't available in Canada. Is there something about Canadian law that prevents them from selling them here (RF interference or something)? It's really frustrating.
I don't want to end up paying $30 shipping and duty on a $50 item! Argh.

As a follow-up, I ended up buying two WCP-300s from a Verizon store in Las Vegas while I was there on vacation. Still no luck getting them in Canada.
Best Buy in Vegas was out of Chromecasts too

Not sure if they're looking to get rid of the rest of the stock. Only five (5) items in there but, the chargers (stupid big bulby round wall charger thingie that costs a lot more than this) is selling for $4.99.
Just thought if anyone needs anything, this is a good sale.

Nice deals. I'd buy some as backups but HP Shopping US won't ship to Canada and HP Shopping Canada got rid of all their TP stuff.
The Energizer Qi Single Inductive Charger is back in stock on Amazon.com. If you are like me, its been tough to track one of these down that is not outrageously priced. Amazon has been out of stock, but it now says more will arrive Dec 8th.
Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the head's up! Ordered!

I tried to check all morning but i can't find any retailers who's selling these in Canada. Only in ebay , 60$ for the charger + 12$ shipping, plus tax, not worth it.

I couldn't find one at any Verizon store. Tried several around Jacksonville, FL. None had it or knew anything about it. I was willing to pay the $50 for instant gratification, but it didn't pan out. Anyone who can get them should pick up a few and resell them, either at cost or make a few bucks.

I did the same in the Orange Park and Fleming Island area. I got a speech from one store saying they were removed because they are dangerous and wireless charging causes fires. LOL.

I bought one off Ebay in OEM (crap) packaging for $57. The seller had 70units. Unfortunately it arrived DOA so I am hoping he still has a replacement available when the RMA gets back to him. I've paid shipping twice now and will actually end up being about $80 (if he still has one) :crying:
"holiday12" is the code. It's good until Dec 7th.
thanks for that but it says out of stock
Nexus slides right off if you r not using a case so i went to my local walmart and bought some sticky bumpers it doesnt look pretty but had to be done
Dose any one know where I can Buy a AC Charger for the TF700 in Canada? It's like ASUS doesn't think we will ever need a new one. It has to be located in Canada every time I order something from the USA I get dinged BIG time like $25-$40 even if the item costs $10 I'm not willing to pay $80 for a charger, just want one from a company in Canada so I don't get dinged for Handling Fees and Duty...
Thanks!
I just ordered one on eBay from a seller who was located in Hong Kong; it came via EMS and Canada Post and I didn't pay anything duty wise.
What you are describing are not duties, they are "importation/brokerage fees" and likely you are having your items sent up here via UPS or Fedex who charge an arm and a leg. When ordering from the US, have the seller ship via USPS to avoid brokerage fees.

Thanks for the replays!
I found this site:

I don't like buying from sketchy people/suppliers but at least they have been around for a wile.
I'll let you know how if goes...
The charger came yesterday although it was shipped in a bag in a unpaded mail bag... it arrived ok and seems to work fine. Ended up costing me $21 after tax+shipping so not bad. At least now if one brakes I'm not screwed

Hey so I was thinking about preordering from bestbuy but i noticed on their website, they have the unlocked s6 for 750, while verizon has it for 600. What prices have people around here been getting the verizon one for from bestbuy?

They usually can price match Verizon corporate price.
Best Buy on Elston in Chicago was selling pre-orders with included charging dock, but unfortunately, had no 128GB SKUS whatsoever. By the way, does anyone know where we can pre-order off-contract S6 Edge's?

You should be able to pre-order off-contract S6's and S6 Edge's anywhere (carrier stores, carrier website, best buy website, best buy stores)

People are saying that the off-contract prices at Best Buy are $150 more than at VZW, but that certainly wasn't the case for me. See http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/31391i/free_wireless_charger_at_best_buy_for_pre_order/

Yes Best Buy's prices are $150 more than Verizon, however I've heard they're price matching. Seems silly to me, plus you're more likely to get it in your hand sooner if you pre order from verizon

Right. But, if they are price matching (which they were at my location), then I'd rather go with Best Buy and get the free wireless charger, which is $60.
So i did my research and talked to a few bb employee friends and they do not price match off contract pricing. Anyone that says they will is probably just saying that, and they'll most likely give you a hard time when you go on the 10th to pay full price. Of course, you can be an exception though.
Anyways, submit my preorder with vzw and ordered a 20$ wireless charger from amazon.
I questioned a Best Buy employee yesterday to verify my full retail price and questioned the price being $150 more. He assured me they would price match the Verizon "Edge" price which in my case was $699 for the 64GB. He offered to give me a written price quote to avoid any confusion on release day and I took him up on it.
Now obviously there is no guarantee that any of that will prevent them from trying to over charge me when it's released but I feel okay about it.
I also questioned him about the Verizon release date and if they'd have it ON that date. He told me they were planning on an April 10th release date unless they get a "push back" date from a Verizon. He said if that's the case it'll be the same for everyone including Verizon. He said the only thing that would prevent someone from getting a pre-order ON that release date would be a lack of supply. He said this was an issue with the Note 4 but he wasn't sure if it was something they'd have an issue with for the S6.
Again none of this really means anything and it's no guarantee but hopefully it'll provide some comfort for those of us who have already preordered from Best Buy.
Hi Verizon users, does the S6 work for T-Mobile's LTE frequencies? I really want to ditch my Note 4, but I honestly cannot tell because I feel like the bands are lower, but I hear the S6 is unlocked though Verizon. Is this true?
Just letting everyone know that if your getting the 2051 error code that they "VZW/bb" know about lol but don't about"know anything " about. At the last step your billing pass is not you acct login pass. It's the last 4 of you ss. Even though you put your ssss above.
Also beware, do not pay off your edge plan over the phone in order to edge up. You will be in limbo for a month. I was in best buy last Wednesday night to pre order and what I wanted to do was keep my Droid Turbo so I was paying it off completely. At the advice of the person at best buy he told me to call 611 and do the transaction, so I did. The Customer service rep took my payment knowing what I was trying to do and he told me I was good to start a new edge plan. Well no the only way you can pay off your edge plan is to go to a Corp store but no one told me this and now I can't get any phone unless I buy it out right for 30 days.
They could price match verizon corporate price.
This morning I got an email saying my order was delayed until May 7th, then 4 hours later got an email saying my order had shipped. Glad I didn't cancel.
they shippped the wireless charger not the phone......atleast for me.

I went in to pay full price and they told me they could not match Verizon's price. I was told that it was less than their cost. I call B.S. on that but either way, I had then refund my gift card and went and bought it at Verizon.

I finally got around to logging into Best Buy, it looks like I'm only getting the wireless charger on Monday too. Unlike your later post, my phone still hasn't shipped.
Anyone know when BB will get the gold in? I picked up on 4/10, but 32 white. Really want the gold. Hoping it comes in within the next two weeks.
Bestbuy Sucks
I pre-ordered from bUstbuy. I got an email stating i can pick up my pre-order on 4/10/15. I went by the store to pick up my phone and they said. Verizon is not selling that phone until 4/17.
i argued with the guy for a few minutes and asked why i got the email from their company saying my order was ready for pickup.
He started getting kinda irate about me questioning him. he about yelled at me that Verizon stores are not selling the phone until 4/17......
So i left bUstbuy and went across the street to verizon and picked up my new 64gb white S6.
F- Bustbuy... they'll never get my business again.
As the title really, are we expected to see the forge tv in the UK? If so, How much you think it'll be? £99?
I'm so tempted to get it ordered from Razor US, sent to a shipping company who would forward it on to me in the UK - Comes with google play store on aswell, root is probably fairly likely. Would maybe work out no more than £140 after shipping and fees too.
I'd probably buy two (roughly same shipping cost I'd imagine) and put the spare on eBay to recoup some of my cost in fairness. Either way, has anyone used any services such as the above and can you recommend any?
Thanks

FTR, I've ordered two units from Razer. Getting shipped to an american company. It will then be sent to me in the UK. I will likely stick one on eBay and keep the other (then selling my Fire TV). Should hopefully end up upgrading at no cost by the time the other is sold.
Will be much better over the Fire TV.
