Amazon now taking Chromecast orders from the UK + Australia

Google streaming dongle now shipping internationally from Amazon.com

Until now if you wanted to to get your hands on a Chromecast outside of the United States, you'd have to resort to an unofficial import through eBay, often with a significant markup. But today there's a more paletableoption open to international buyers Amazon.com is now taking orders for Chromecastfrombuyers outside the U.S. We've just been able to place an order to the UK, costing us around 22.59 plus shipping and import fees. Our friends at Ausdroid have confirmed that the deal is open to Australian buyers too, with prices starting at A$36.42 before tax and shipping.

For UK buyers, standard (8 to 14-day) shipping costs 5.79, while priority (two-day) shipping costs 21.28. In Australia it's A$11.02 and A$36.42 respectively. With standard shipping our UK order came to just over 34 not at all bad for this type of product.

It's worth noting that while Chromecast may be shipping internationally from Amazon, the Chromecast app is still U.S.-only right now, meaning you'll need to track down the APK yourself once your dongle arrives.
