[Q] 16gb and 32gb MicroSD from China?

Has anyone had any positive experiences with buying a 16gb or 32gb MicroSD card from China?
(Like the ones on ebay, or DHGate)
I would really like to get one to upgrade my stock card, but I don't want to waste money and wait 20 days for a fake.
And I would like to keep the price as low as possible. ($20ish would be great)
Please link if you've purchased a card from China (or other really cheap places) that you can confirm to be authentic.

I ordered one from ebay and never received it. Had to report the guy to ebay to get a refund. I would be very cautious as I have seen a lot of people get ripped off either from fake cards or just not receiving them.

I ordered one on ebay and it was a dud.... didn't write files correctly. I wouldn't buy from China.

The cheapest I found a 16GB card was $30.
All off the ones any cheaper were fakes from China.
If you really want one then bite the bullet on the price and stay away from the ones on ebay that are ridiculously low.
Your instincts are telling you to stay away for a reason.

Might as well buy Samsung 32gb MicroSD class 10 card from Amazon for $30 with free shipping and no tax (for some):
LINK
The only downside is it ships within 3 - 5 weeks (Amazon often overstates their shipping time, however). So if you need this in a hurry, this may not be the best choice for you.

Why go with Samsung over PNY? I have use PNY before and was very happy with the card

I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the PNY card. In this case, you can save a little on tax.
Also the Samsung for $30 is an everyday price on Amazon vs. "one day only" for the PN at best buy.
And earlier today, the Samsung was listed at $27 and in was in stock. Plus, looking at this thread, I see people post positive experience with their Samsung cards. I don't see a lot of PNY (if any) on that thread.
And as you can see in my signature, I don't personally use Samsung card because I use Sandisk

In for 1. Will pick it up on the way home. Amazon prices available locally should be considered a deal.

I bought this on day 1, although it took a week to ship lol The card actually works really good. It transfers pretty fast and havent had any issues with it.
I think I paid $24 though.

+1 :highfive:
Exactly what i was thinking.

Thanks for the info! Picked one up to upgrade my 16gb Patriot.

I'm definitely an online shopper... I have bought (2) 32gb cards off of Woot.com for less than $15 shipped. I don't mind waiting a few days, as the cards usually come really quickly.

I'm a brand whore. Samsung = OEM. Matches the phone. Dumb logic and I usually spend more than I should, but it helps me sleep at night. Lol.

I didn't find LG quick cover anywhere except Google Play.... Anyone can help???

Only place I've seen selling them is here and saves you $5 too though it might only be on the CDN side.

I ordered the black one with 25% coupon 'CYBER13' and free shipping on Blueshop.
http://www.blueshop.ca/lg-flip-cover-black/4A22A16587A.htm
Code:
LG Flip Cover (Black) for Nexus 5 CAD 49.99
Ships around 12/4
Subtotal CAD 37.49
Shipping & Handling CAD 0.00
Sales Tax 5% GST 9.975% PST CAD 5.61
Total CAD 43.10

I grabbed one myself for $42.36. Gotta luv that free shipping. Saved over $20 by not going to Playstore.

Here's a different quick cover.

Any place that ships internationally ?

Any news?

mobilefun sell these in the UK.
Works out cheaper than buying from Google Play too. £35 plus £1.99 postage. You can also use Quidco to get 8% cashback and there are voucher codes available online to give another £5 discount. They have them in stock today - just ordered one.

OP,
Are you trying to get it cheaper, or just find somewhere to buy it in location?

Use Amazon. Make sure Amazon is the seller and not a 3rd party.
Do anything else on Amazon or eBay and you are rolling the dice.

I agree, I buy all my SD cards from Amazon and they are cheaper too

3rdparty?

Amazon has some pretty good deals on SanDisk SD Cards right now, this link http://goo.gl/7CCb0z will take you to an Amazon page where I've already filtered by brand (SanDisk) and seller (Amazon)

Not everything you buy on Amazon.com is sold by Amazon.com.
Many items are sold by other people just using the Amazon.com website. It's all perfectly normal for all products. But for SD cards there is a VERY HIGH rate of forgery when using 3rd party sellers (not Amazon). So it's best to avoid them. IT's not worth the extra $1 you might save.
Just make sure the seller is actually Amazon.
For anything else on Amazon, go with the cheapest seller. But for SD cards? Never use a 3rd party seller

[Q] Buying in the US from Ebay (23port)

I live in the US and I am planning to buy the 4gb/32g version from ebay. It seems like 23port is the only seller with the item available.
My question is about customs and fees. If I buy this on ebay, will I pay any customs fees. If so, how will I pay them?

Most times when buying from over seas ( me personally ) they marked the item as a gift. So didn't have to pay these fees. I would send them a message and ask them.

i would just wait on the us version i believe they are having an event on the 28th so the phone should release thereafter

I bought it from him. I live in Dallas and no issues. Just paid for what he was asking for the phone.

I bought from 23port my 2GB version of Zenfone 2 ZE551ML and I have asked the buyer to mark it as a gift to Canada. The buyer marked the phone value as $90 CDN so I won't get tax as much. Once I received it from FedEx, I just pay them the duties for it which is around $22 CDN.
