• Shipping Charges Are Outrageous

  
  By A3MXZZZ94EN0O7 on 2007-07-10
  This is a common thing I've found on the internet, especially on Ebay, but more and more on Amazon these days too. I selected several SD memory cards, placed them in my cart. When I went to check out, the total for the cards was about $70. The shipping was more than $85., and the tax was more than $12. The actual shipping charges would be less than $5. I don't know why these people do business this way. At best its dishonest, and at worse, its fraud. For me its a complete turn-off, and I won't do business with these kind of people. I just wish Amazon had a way for me to filter these merchants from my searches so I don't waste so much of my time. As this practice becomes more frequent on Amazon, I find myself using Amazon less. I can see a time in the near future where I'll only use Amazon for book purchases.
  
  
  

• What is with the price here?

  
  By AQU5MTNJS867K on 2007-04-19
  I previously bought the same size, same brand at Office Max for about $35. That was for my digital camera. I had a 512mb one laying around that I was using for my Wii as a memory card, but when I saw this deal it was too good to pass up. These things are cheap, and if you ever feel that you'll need more (Like you're taking a lot of high resolution pictures on your "Sony Elph", or saving a lot of data on your Wii, or even downloading GPS maps on your Dell Axim PDA, having extra 2GB SanDisk memory cards is definitely a Boon.
  
  A lot of technology uses these, and the price is extremely good.
  
  

• "Bulk" packaging voids warranty

  
  By AX4XSYKMHFQDL on 2007-11-12
  I have not had issues with SanDisk in the past. However, I bought this card and it quit working after 6 months. I would have not minded if it had been replaced, but neither the seller or SanDisk would replace it(yet this listing is claiming a 5 year warranty). The seller would not replace because it was too long after their return period. SanDisk would not replace because their warranty applies to "Brand New in Factory Sealed Retail packaged products only". So I am not knocking SanDisk exactly, but the bulk cards. Great price, but if something messes up you're outta luck.
  
  

• Device is Fine, Shipping is Outrageous

  
  By ALJEBSCBVAUYF on 2007-12-14
  I bought this card for $9.42 and had to pay $6.99 for shipping. I though maybe there's a reason, that the actual shipping price was high. Nope. It just came in a padded envelope and the postage in the corner said...58 CENTS! Now, come on. Where did my other $6.41 go? If they need it to make a profit, then they should just make the price that much more.
  
  That being said, the card works great. No problems, but maybe you should buy it from a store rather than from Amazon.
  
  
• Works fine
  By A4H4KYSM2KQ85 on 2007-05-23
  We purchased this disk to use with our Nikon D50 digital camera. With high resolution pictures, we can fit 567 pictures on the disk. That's plenty to carry us through an entire vacation--or two. We have used the disk heavily for several months and clean it off several times a week and have had no problems with it yet.
  
  
• Fantastic Price & Solid Brand
  By A3977M5S0GIG5H on 2007-03-03
  I've never had any problems with Sandisk media and I've used them for about 5-6 years. For this price, though, how can you go wrong. I bought a few of them for my Palm Treo 650
  
  
• Charge too much for freight and restocking
  By AAW2OMSSFCK6F on 2007-10-18
  I order a Scan Disk memory chip by mistake. When I returned the item they charged me 20% restocking fee for something that I did not even open.
  
  Don't do any business with this people.
  
  
• SanDisk 2GB SD Memory Card 2 GB
  By A11K2562M66SG6 on 2007-11-16
  We purchased two this item. Each cost $11.58. The cost for USPS shipping was outrageous!! The item weighed 1oz and we were charged $12.98. Even with handling charges the total probably should have been $5.41 (.41 for 1 oz w/USPS). Needless to say we will NOT be doing business with this company again.
  
  
• Be Careful!
  By A3EWC4RODGOAIU on 2008-04-01
  I thought this was a great price, so I put six in my shopping cart along with six of the promotional "free" card readers. Upon checkout I discovered that the shipping charge was over $78, tripling the effective price! A whopping $6.49 for each SD card plus $6.49 for each "free" card reader. Look before you leap.
  
  
• CRAZY SHIPPING!! Think twice!!
  By A2L8X0KVUHFC13 on 2008-03-17
  I put three of these in my cart and the shipping was $18 !!! I live in the US so it was just standard shipping. This is a complete rip off when you think about it. The shipping on these cards is so inexpensive, seller is padding the shipping to make up for the cost. This price was put up to trick people into buying who may not notice the crazy shipping.
  
  Do yourself a favor and buy any other cards than these. I will never support price gauging on shipping - its dirty and unfair.
  
  
• Top Card
  By ADVLRJS633OTD on 2007-05-26
  Not much to say about this card. It's a leading brand. And the amount of storage is just great for the demands of today --- especially your camera. I use this in my Canon S3 so I know I have all the storage I need for stills and movies. I got two at a very handsome price here on Amazon.
  
  Update: I used the card in my new Canon S3 and found it slow. It is not good with movies. So if you plan to take a lot of movies, you might want to check with your camera manufacturer to see what cards it accepts. I've bought a Sandisk Extreme 111, which is a super fast card. I hope I get better results with it.
  
  
• Smoke and mirrors
  By A11GU5Z86KUYNC on 2007-06-25
  Seems like a good price for a 2GB memory card. The shipping charge is excessive but that helps Digital Media Source make up the money they discounted on the product.
  
  
• Total garbage
  By A3IWS1I7R6HV8C on 2007-07-27
  I ordered 3 of these and all 3 of them fail. They cannot be read in any card reader I try, even a SanDisk - and 1 of the cards cannot be used by my camera at all. I purchased another card from another dealer that was not listed as "bulk" and it works great - same Blue 2 gb card. I would not recommend these cards.
  
  
• Check out the shipping price!
  By A2UVI17W1HZP4K on 2008-07-19
  I placed an order for 3 of these SD cards, thinking they were are great deal at about $4 each. When I saw the shipping charge, though, I reconsidered. The SD cards came to $12.03, but shipping & handling was $18.97! Actual mailing costs has to be under $2 for these things, so the seller is luring people in with a low product cost and making a killing on the shipping.
  
  
• Mis-ordered, returned, no acknowledgement of receipt of goods
  By A1FWV8SL70OOPV on 2007-04-10
  The product that was sent was misordered. It should have been the 2 GB SanDisk Micro memory card.
  Permission was secured to return the card. It was returned in the original package plus an additional envelope. It has now been about three weeks since it was returned via the US Postal Service. The vendor has not acknowledged receipt of the item.
  
  
• SanDisk's defective product & lousy customer service
  By A39876ZWGXTYN8 on 2008-04-10
  I took a bunch of pictures for my brother's wedding with this card. When the card was full I turned the camera off, carefully removed the card, placed it in its plastic case and in my camera bag. When we got back from the wedding and I tried to transfer the pictures to my computer, I get an error message. I try numerous ways of reading the card as well as recovery software. Nothing works.
  
  So I try to return the defective card to SanDisk. I have to register on their site and then enter in all my product information before sending a email, which must be done though their difficult to navigate and out of date website. I finally send an email though their site and request an exchange and all I get back is a form letter with things I may have done wrong to cause the error. I then fill out another request on their site, again stating that I want a refund or exchange, and I get an email telling me to check my message box on the site. I check after a few days and it's from someone asking for more information. But because I waited a few days, it's too late to reply or some such nonesense, and then I send another email and am again asked for more information at which point I just gave up after spending nearly an hour on recouping $5 or so.
  
  I frequently buy IT accessories for my company and now make it a point to never buy a SanDisk product.
  
  
• Shipping is PER CARD
  By A3UXU4YM508ZEA on 2008-07-28
  This is insane. 6 cards will cost you $35 shipping. Why doesn't Amazon stock these instead of subbing out to these ripoff companies?
  
  
• What a deal!!
  By ANJAOJTCCYTH on 2007-04-10
  Don't go to some place like Best Buy or Circuit City for an SD Card and spend 3 or 4 times as much. Just order a few of these for the same price.
  
  
• Fine, just miserably slow...
  By A1IEGPT1Q5D3R2 on 2007-11-21
  If you bought this card to use in a digital camera and only transfer smaller files occasionally, you're in luck -- there's nothing wrong with it except speed... or more accurately, lack thereof. This is the slowest SD card I've ever owned, and by a fair margin too. Note that I haven't been into SD cards that long, but... it is really slow compared to others I've tried recently. Can't beat the price tho.
  
  
• ChiTek = Customer NO SERVICE
  By A1EIPLWYH6173C on 2007-12-28
  I ordered a 2GB memory card for a camera, and was kept in the loop on shipping, etc. However, I never got the package. I contacted ChiTek and was told to check with all my neighbors and the Post Office to see if it was mis-delivered. I did all that, no one had seen the package, and since the tracking code shows "delivered" (to whom, I do not know, but certainly not to me!), ChiTek says tough luck. Now I have to do a VISA chargeback over a lousy $22.43 order. Lucky it wasn't higher.
  With ChiTek's lack of concern, I will certainly NEVER buy anything that comes from them again, and I advise each of you to consider this hassle before you do, too.
  
  
• More than I expected
  By A2ENHRNKGWK27F on 2007-03-01
  When I purchased my Canon S2IS camera, I was looking for something good, but not too expensive for taking pictures of friends and family and various nature shots to save on the computer. I didn't need professional grade equipment. When it arrived, it had the 16MB card. I was a little disappointed at the 6-8 pictures OR the 7 seconds of video. I knew that I was going to need to get a better memory card eventually thanks to the reviews of all the other people who purchased this same camera.
  I shopped around and found this great deal that seemed to be too good to be true. A 2GB memory card for only 16.99. I looked into this through every customer review on the amazon web site and through the sellers profile and the customer reviews on their site. Still a little skeptical, I figured it was a chance I could take for such a great price. I was amazed when I recieved the memory card and found out just how many pictures I could take without having to stop and erase the bad ones or save the good ones to the computer before taking more. Some of the reviews have said it holds 1500 pictures, but I haven't needed to take quite that many just yet. I didn't really get the camera for the video option, but so far I have captured almost a half hour of good quality video at one time. This has turned out to be the best deal I have found in a very long time. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive memory card to play around with for personal use and more.
  
  
• big & easy to handle
  By A2WGUFT57T7IQ2 on 2007-04-10
  The bulk package of the 2GB SanDisk Secure Digital SD Memory Card was a very good purchase seeing that all i wanted was just the card. I purchased this card for my Palm Treo 650. It was easy to format and it's just as easy to maintain. It holds up pretty well to hard hits (I actually dropped my phone a few times and the card popped out) and it still works. It's 2GB capacity is enough to hold my files and other programs that needs an external memory card to be installed on the phone.
  
  
• Yep, this one, too!
  By A3IEM48L0VF318 on 2007-02-13
  In an earlier review of a different product (The HP Photosmart R725), I mentioned how well the camera took pictures and how clear they came out.
  
  With this memory card, one can not go wrong. Two GB (gigabytes) are more memory that ANYONE could possibly want in a card. I can take over 1,500 pictures at 4 MP (which comes out to about 1.08-1.8 MB each) and still have plenty of space left over for videos. I shot a video today and it lasted thirty minutes. THIRTY MINUTES!
  
  I recommend this memory card over any other type, brand, model, etc. You just can't go wrong.
  
  
• Good product with a good price
  By A11TD2PT0Q2K5R on 2007-04-05
  I bought this card for my new camera, works well and speed is better than I expect.
  The shipping is just a little bit long (more than a week)
  
  
• died after a week.
  By A38HKXMT1RZIBY on 2007-05-06
  Not much to say, mine died after a week. I am going to contact san disk to see if they can rma it.
  
  
• Never Again
  By A1QX83SFGCE6R3 on 2007-12-17
  My name was placed on two items which were delivered to me and they were not my items.
  
  I was told that if I sent them back, they would send my a Portable DVD Player for my troubles.
  
  Yeah Right! I should have kept what was in the boxes!! I was honest and took the extra time printing the return labels, taping them on and seeing that they were picked up by UPS.
  
  Do you think I ever say the Portable DVD Player????? NO!!!!! I was told when everthing was finished that has been several weeks now and nothing.
  
  Be careful! and if they say they sent you something and you didn't receive it, they probably sent it somewhere else. Make sure you document everything.
  
  
• Excessive Shipping
  By A1NV54KZ1O0LFL on 2007-12-17
  I received this product in a very timely manner, in good shape. BUT the shipping was aweful! Mine was just like another persons, came in a small little package with 1, yes 1 piece of packing peanuts. Like that would help and the postage said $.58! Still cheaper than going to the store, but they are a rip off for the shipping.
  
  
• Shipping charges
  By A3IL5XA8XYBPUD on 2008-02-17
  Check the Shipping charge before buying. It's $4.50/item, which makes it more expensive than a Kingston 2GB SD at $12.49 directly from Amazon (when you reach the $25 free shipping situation).
  
  
• Works Perfectly
  By A2B0WIJBU62070 on 2007-03-30
  I bought this for my Kodak camera. I put it in as soon as it arrived, have been using it for a few weeks, and it hasn't given me any trouble. SanDisk is a name I have grown to trust for SD cards because they have never let me down.
