How big are those boxes? I know a few people are looking to give them away as gifts, but I don't think some would care if you just provided the bare necessities in a bag or something. I don't know, may be easier to pack that way.

I was going to ask about this. The boxes aren't big but for USB dongles they are bulky. It would probably make it easier on me to just put 10 or so in a bag and carry it in my laptop bag or something. I'd still have to check a suitcase for the other boxes.
Here is the deal. I bought 16 of them. It wasn't to bad of a deal other than I had to stand in check out lines for FOREVER.. I'm not a patient person and my phone died =( Standing around in line is probably the worst thing I can imagine doing but I survived. I don't even think I would use one since I have appleTV so I have 16 available. Below this post is a list of people who have Pm'd me in chronological order. I want to be fair to everyone and honestly I wish I could get all of you one but I'm not sure that's possible. I will give the 1st 16 people until tomorrow around noon to PM me and say they definitely want one or not. If someone passes I will PM the next guy in line. A few people have offered me extra money ,which would be nice as I said I can't work, but I just wouldnt feel right selling them to the highest bidder (Some Capitalistic American I am eh?). The only exception I will make is if you are an Immigration officer and can give me a work permit or speed up my PR application approval  . Since that's not likely we will just use the list process. but seriously... Immigration officials , I will give you all 16  . I have went through some of the PMs and I think a couple people asked for a couple. I hope you don't mind but let's just say everyone gets 1 unless I have some left over.
A lot of people asked me what I would be charging... I paid 30 bucks plus tax and I have to check an extra bag. How bout we just say 40USD and call it good? Paypal as a gift is the easiest for me as I used my US card for this. I haven't found a good way to get my money from my Canadian Account to my US account in a cheap timely manner yet so if you don't mine using paypal I would appreciate it. Also... I guess since there are so many I can just go to a pub close to my house one evening next week and you guys can come buy and grab one.

I'll drop off the list, no worries, so everyone below can move up a spot.
The box is 4"x4" and an inch or so thick.
In the box there is the dongle (size of a larger USB stick drive) and instructions (but don't need them, they're on the web and its dead simple to setup). Then, a micro to standard usb cord, a little power cube/adapter, and a HDMI extender, all 3 in their own sealed bags.
Certainly less bulky to empty the contents of the box for you into a plastic bag or bags, depending on how you then plan on delivering them to the people here.

nickerjones, please add me to your list. Even though I'm a bit late to the thread here and you'll probably run out with chromecasts to sell before you get to me, I still think that you're awesome for doing this.

In the event that 23 people spontaneously combust tonight, I'd take one of those Chromecasts for sure.

Don't really care for one but if you do get stuck with any extra I'll buy a couple off you.
and as someone who knows nothing about these things are they not available in Canada yet or are they just expensive here?

I would accept Coolest Okie on CP or Top 10 American on CP.
Everyone who is highlighted in red has confirmed. Browna ceded his position so I will PM #17.

London Drugs...was going to get myself a new shiny Note 3...only $149 on a new two year contract with Rogers and a free $100 London Drugs gift card thrown in. Woot!
Yeah...then I call them tonight and ask about it...only NEW Rogers customers. Sorry if you've been with Rogers for 12 years and didn't have an issues with signing a new two year contract. This new customer crap is complete crap.

Well CP has helped me out plenty of times. This is a small way to give it back.
