$3 Verbatim 8GB Flash Drive, with Free Shipping. Flingshot.com.au Launch Day Special

1440

Flingshot.com.au is lauching this week and as an opening offer to ozbargainers we are doing an 8gb verbatim flash drive for $3 shipped. It is limited to one per household, and in order to claim the deal you need to like us on Facebook. And before you ask, yes we are trying to buy your love. If there is one thing the Simpsons has taught us, money can buy love, it just can't buy dinosaurs. If you have any issues please email us at [email protected].

Just an update, we have had a significant number of orders already, but we still have plenty more stock. If we do run out we will look into getting more stock later in the week and re-running the offer. Thanks!

UPDATE 3: These guys are selling faster than we had expected, we still have about 200 units in stock, but if you get a message saying out of stock, then we have run out. Looking at getting more stock or posting a similar deal later in the week. Thanks!

UPDATE 4: Looks like we are sold out now. Will update this post once we get more stock or another deal sorted out. Thanks everyone!

UPDATE 5: We should have a deal on a 32GB drive up by tomorrow, or Friday at the latest. Thanks for your patience, we really had not expected this level of support so early.

Final Update: New deal posted here http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/75320.

  • Quite disappointed, liked the facebook page and it didn't end up updating so couldn't check out. Tried refreshing and unliking, liking it again but still wouldn't work. Finally sent an email and now it's sold out…

      We will get back to you via email shortly. With a name like spiderpig, how could we deny you this deal! Now you can go back to doing whatever a spiderpig does.

    Great price … but no thanks … I now boycott any company that tries to force me onto FB.

    • We would have used the friendster api, but I think it was shut down a while ago…

  • rep, did someone buy hundreds of these to be re-sold in ebay?

    • Nope, pretty much everyone stuck to the one per household rule. We had a few duplicate orders go through, but most like that was an issue on our side.

      • Sorry about the multiple order (3), I didn't know there was a limit until after I ordered. Thank you for honouring it anyway.

  • Ferioufly, Flingshot?

  • Thanks, good deal

  • wow.. was just browsing kmart's catalogue for this month and saw the same verbatim 8gn usb flash drive for $7.00.

    and it was being sold this morning for $3.00 delivered.. WOW..

    didnt buy the item but i'll give you my +.

  • Subscribed to this thread, waiting for a update.

  • grabbed the 32gb USB 3 stick for $22. I'm happy with that price. Not as good as the $3 8gb deal but meh… thanks flingshot crew and good luck!

      The post office kind of loves us…

  • What kind of write speed are people getting?
    Just curious…

    • Using this program

      read - 15.3MB/s
      write - 4.8MB/s
      read + write - 3.1MB/s

      I'm not worried at all (i have nfi if it's good or bad!)

      • Thanks Davo1111,
        So…they are kinda low end average. Thats weird, StewBalls posted on the other thread by flingshot that he is getting ~ 9 MB/s read with the same model, but in a larger capacity.

        Ah I noticed this -"Store'n'Go Pinstripe USB Drive 32GB Minimum Write Speed: 4MB/sec" so I guess anything above that in in spec.

  • Received mine today, Thanks Rep !

    Received my three today. Thanks :)
