«CHI-TEK CUSTOMERS...BEWARE OF THE SHIPPING!!!»
This review is not about the product, it's about the seller (ChiTek). The product is awesome (hence the 5 stars, I won't hurt a good product's rating for a lousy seller) - bought one at K-Mart for alot more $$ 2 years ago - still going strong! If you're thinking of buying it here, PLEASE read on...
If an offer seems too good to be true, it usually is. The price for this 1GB SD card (sold and shipped from ChiTek) is only $1.30... wow, pretty good, right? WELL... just to see what the shipping would be I went into checkout for 6 of these and 4 of the 1GB microSD's at $2.33 each, also from ChiTek, so you know they'll ship them together. Here's what came up (copied and pasted from actual check out page) - thank goodness I didn't accidentally hit "PLACE ORDER":
Items: $19.18
Shipping & Handling: $65.39
Total Before Tax: $84.57
Estimated Tax:* $0.00
Order Total: $84.57
Now, I understand that $85 isn't a bad price for what totals 10GB of storage, but that's not the point. $65.39 TO SHIP 10 LITTLE TEENY CARDS IN WHAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A SINGLE YELLOW BUBBLE-WRAP ENVELOPE??? I don't care what they put them in - that's ludicrous. They didn't combine the shipping charges, but they'll put them all in the same envelope or box (was standard ground shipping, btw) for less than $10 and pocket the other $55. ChiTek wants to pull you in with a great price in hopes that you'll want to buy a bunch to stock up and won't pay attention at check out to the total. Bad business, guys, really bad business.

«storage disk»
great price at the time for this size storage disk. By the time I got around to reviewing this product, the price had came down considerably.

«SanDisk is the most reliable»
I will only use this brand. My photographer friend will use only this brand also. 'Nuff said.
