Cheapest Stowaway in Canada

I'm looking into purchasing a Stowaway, as I think that it is probably the most useful add-on for the Visor. Can anyone recommend where to purchase one for the lowest price? I think I saw them at FutureShop for $145.99 (CDN)... anything better?


Cheers,

Juggler,

Have you tried going into a Business Depot? I can't remember correctly, but I think I may have seen them there for a little less (although not much, as they tend to match eachothers' prices).

You might want to try Insight.ca. They might have some good deals, although, after shipping, you're better off going to FS or BD.

Miradu,

$89 would be so nice, except that after the exchange and shipping, it's closer to $200 than it is to $150...

"Cheapest Stowaway in Canada"...I presume that precludes US websites.

Futureshop, Staples/Bus. Dep. and Compusmart are the only companies licensed in Canada to distribute Handspring product. So one of them will be the cheapest.

Yeah, I know that's not much help, but it's just another example of the usual lack of choice up here. (I wonder if the Americans realize that Canadians simply aren't allowed to watch HBO, MTV, and a hundred other cable stations, by decree of the Canadian government. Another topic, another thread. Sorry.) The only thing I could suggest is that since Compusmart just got licensed a few weeks ago, they might be more eager to prove themselves.
