    Hmmm you are right! Shopping squares shipping is expensive =(
    Plus unsure if it's legit or not!

    Cheers!

    Sorry to sound like a noob, but what is considered as an online store?
    Is shoppingsquare an online store?

  Hey guys, I want to buy 10 MicroSD 8GB for gifts used for this caddy
  (http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-microSD-FCR-MRR-SDC-2GB/dp/B0…). 10 caddys but no card!

  Struggling to understand why you would care what price you pay for the cards, when you paid $24 each for that card reader (what is a caddy anyway?).

    Oh sorry, that bad wording from me!
    What I meant was the MicroSD Card reader. I bought 10 of them similar but no brands and cost 90% less. Got it for $2.4ea from TinyDeal.

    Guess what I really need now is just a cheap MicroSD card to go with it so can give it away as presents =)

  If it was me, I'd get Class 4 Kingstons from MSY in Auburn (Sydney).

  SHOPPING SQUARE have a deal this weekend - $1 shipping.

  http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/category.php?id=71&o=a&s=2

  8GB Class 2 or 4 Sandisk $9.95 <<<<< THIS ONE ***
  8Gb Class 4 Kingston $14.30

  I realise that there will be cheaper out there… but that is a start.

  *** That Sandisk is the one you originally were looking at. So, that will work out pretty good! The picture shows Class 2 but the text says Clss 4

    Thank you thank you!

    I followed your link and saw it too… that puzzled me! Why is it showing class 2 and say it's class 4?
    So which one is it?

      I think that they are Class 4, but used to be Class 2.

      I'd heard that the old Sandisk Class 2 performed better than the rated speciifcations so they upgraded it. But I don't own any Sandisks myself to verify that.

      Here is a 4 page thread about it on Whirlpool forums…

      From the table at the top, it seems that the older Sandisk Class 2 cards were getting Write speeds of over 3.5 MB/sec (almost class 4)
