freeship32

We have a new deal for you all since the previous deal sold out so quickly! 32GB Verbatim pinstripe drive for $17 shipped, no limits, no need to like us on facebook, but feel free to do so here http://www.facebook.com/flingshotaustralia. Please use code "freeship32" for free shipping. If you have any issues please email us at [email protected].

Update: Someone has asked us to mention our 32GB USB 3 deal as well, so here it is: http://flingshot.com.au/products/storage-usb-storage-32gb-le…

Update 2: OK so these 16GB USB 3 drives are all sitting here saying come on what's the deal, sure we cost more per gig but we are just as lovable give us a chance! So we decided to level, nay, tip the playing field in their favour. Starting now they are going out the door for $10. And before you ask, because we know you will, yes we will still honour the free shipping code even if you just buy one of the 16gb's. At least until the 32gb USB 2 drives sell out. http://flingshot.com.au/collections/storage/products/storage….

Update 3: We are starting a weekend only special on the UX21 i3 Zenbook. We have taken down the bonus Office offer and replaced it with a bonus 64GB USB 3 flash drive. AND we have dropped the price from $699 down to $538. http://flingshot.com.au/collections/featured/products/comput…

Update 4: The USB 3 drives are now sold out, but we still have stock of the 32GB USB 2 so we will keep the free shipping code active. Feel free to use it on any item under $100.

      No promises, but we are definitely trying. We understand people are looking for the smaller drives as well. If we did it would probably be $4 shipped next time though but if we can do it for $3 again we definitely will.

          Many thanks for free shipping with "freeship32" on the 32Gb USB 3.0 drive even though it wasn't in the original offer - have placed my order.

          For normal offers on your site, please, please, let us see shipping costs before checkout.

          There is also a minor bug in the shipping address stuff: Fred Nerk/Flat 5/42 Wombat Road/Outer Woop Woop, Victoria 3456 comes out as

          Thanks for the feedback, we are working on a solution, it has to do with how paypal integrates with the site. Should be fixed by this afternoon. But you are right it is definitely not ideal. At the moment though we just have a flat shipping cost of $5 under $100 so it is not too much of a shock hopefully.

          Can't seem to buy one, error is your payment cannot be completed contact your merchant. Tried both with PayPal and on CC. Doing it on my phone (android) if that matters.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 20/07/2012 - 11:11

          Just checked paypal, there don't seem to be any issues on our end. If you could try on another device and let us know if you are still having issues that would be great. We can get it sorted out manually worst case.

        • mikeham on 20/07/2012 - 12:57

          OK, so far I'm impressed. I actually went to buy the $22 drive before this offer but got sniffy and cancelled it because I didn't get to see the shipping cost until checkout.

          Personally I vastly prefer sites which offer "free shipping" even though I know perfectly well that shipping costs are factored in.

          The address thing is unimportant - my postie says to me "you sure get a lot of yellow envelopes from China!" (I'm a recovering DealExtreme addict).

          To me the $22 USB 3.0 drive is an even better deal than the $17 USB 2.0.

          Would never have heard of flingshot if you hadn't had that $3 USB offer here on OzBargain. It wasn't for me, but it made me bookmark your site.

    • dazweeja on 19/07/2012 - 18:29

      Write speeds are still more than 3x faster than the advertised speeds on the Verbatim in this deal. And read is 4.5x faster. Not great speeds but still a better deal than the Verbatim for $5 more? I certainly think so.

      In my opinion, flash drives should advertise with its real life read/write speed on the box, like how all cars are advertise with different litres/100km. I still prefer pay over $30 on flash drive for the best speed.

    The weird thing is, my paypal payment was put through for $17, then on the following page back at your website I got told about the $5 shipping cost and enter the code.
    If I didn't have the code, would I be directed back for to paypal for a second transaction?

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 19/07/2012 - 19:13

      The payment is not actually confirmed on that first paypal page, it only goes through after you submit on that second page. So if you had not put the code in it would have actually charged you for shipping.

    Can you do better on the 64GB USB3? Like $40-44 to maintain the GB/$ ratio.

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 20/07/2012 - 01:24
      +4

      Unfortunately the sweet spot for USB 3 is right now somewhere between 16 and 32. So until production on the 64gb drives ramps up in the next few months the ratio is going to be a little bit off. We could potentially get them down to around $50, but not with the free shipping offer. However if you were to order one of the other drives at the same time we would be able to honour the free shipping code.

          Oooh, that Lexar one is terrible card random IO for use in a tablet machine (0.008 MB/s I believe. Seems I might have to wait for the time being. Next month maybe.

          I can't seem to find a chart that references tested speeds for this card, but as this is their highest end micro card and wholesales for almost $40 I doubt that it was the one tested in your link. With that said first person to respond here requesting it gets it at the offered price.

          Shoot us a message on here with your email and we will send you a link and code. Just a heads up it won't ship until mid next week, but I am guessing you probably won't mind ;)

    Have ordered 2x of the 32GB, so $44 all up. Back in 2005 I bought a 1gb stick from Harvey Norman for $100+, oh how times change.

    Those ebay deals look good too, but I'd rather buy from an Australian site with an active rep on this site.
