Where to Get Bulk USB Drives Quickly?

UncleRico on 14/12/2017 - 13:52

Hi,

I'm after some stocking stuffers for Christmas. Just need to put some files of a USB for 30 odd people.

Anyone know where I could get my hands on a batch of cheap 1-2gb USB drives, ideally shipped to Sydney in the next week?

Cheers

    It's already Thursday and you are looking at very tight shipping schedules — today would be Xmas cut-off date

    Which means you really won't be looking at overseas sellers, perhaps try MSY or UMART and see if they have any clearance stock to offload?

      Fair point. I've left my run very late, so cheap Chinese is not an option…

    Keep a lookout in supermarkets and Big W, etc. Often I've seen small-capacity USB drives on the throw-out table for cheap.

    Might be funnier to buy a spindle of CD-Rs and use Yamaha disc tattoo or equivalent to scribe your embarrassing yuletide picture.

      Would seem appropriate for odd people.

        I think that must be craigslist code for swingers.

      Outstanding suggestion! I'd forgotten that technology exists!

      Now to try and find a CD-Writer which can still do it….

      Cheers.

    cheap 1-2gb USB drives

    Mate I wouldn't even bother if you're not going to a useful size in at least.

    Be looking at 8 or 16GB at a min!

      The media is incidental - it's the content that is the gift.

        send them a link to a folder on your google drive

          You could even print a QR code on it to save typing.

        drop box, google drive, facebook share the content.

        or hit up the $2 shops or the officeworks bargain bin.

    Not exactly sure, but could you burn it to a blank CD ROM

  • HighAndDry on 14/12/2017 - 16:55

    I wouldn't trust to shipping this close to Xmas.

    With a name like uncle Rico it's likely just 2gig of nudes he is sending to the lady's.

    Stocking stuffer indeed ;)

      With a name like Uncle Rico, it's probably Gridiron tall stories of being able to pass a quarter mile, over mountains even and taking state.

    If all 30 people have access to the internet then make a free account on mega.nz and upload the files then right click get link which you can then sent to all 30 people and they will be able to download from it easily.

    Sounds familiar. Where can I get a bunch of cheap USB memory sticks?
